Thanks for the book recommendation - I will indeed check it out.

I find the Ukraine an interesting country, partly because it is actually a relatively recent country and used to be part of Poland. I'm no expert though so am trying to improve my knowledge as much as possible as quickly as possible!

Poland in the past was very large footprint of influence. Ukraine especially centered around Kiev was no slouch either. All this was during the decline of the Roman Empire, into the dark and middle ages, when most of the Western Europe was in mist of chaos...Between the two they control or had merchant who travel over much which would be Eastern Europe.
