In English cyrillic is pronounced 'sirillick', guys. Getting a bit depressed about the conversations about who Lviv belongs to. History is so incredibly complicated in this part of the world where borders and populations have changed so much over the centuries. As a state which once in its history officially ceased to exist, Poland knows this better than most. Remember, before the war many of these cities and areas had very mixed populations. One thing that really changed after the war and the re-drawing of borders and the expulsion of populations in all directions is that many cities are now mostly Polish or Ukrainian or German etc whereas they used to be pretty mixed. When Lwów was in Poland one third of its inhabitants was not Polish, for example. However, it's true that Poland was treated appallingly by both the Russians and the Allies and was forced to move the whole country several hundred kms to the west. I also get nervous when people start dissing Ukraine's right to exist as a nation. That's big bully nation talk. People used to say that about Poland and some Russians still say that about Finland. Finland was Swedish then Russian. It's only been an independent nation for 100 years so presumably it has no real right to exist at all and should offer itself back to either Sweden or Russia? Move forwards! Trying to go backwards ends in tears and bloodshed.

I'm so glad that you decided to explore this little gem in Europe! I spent a week there in May, and I really enjoyed it. I was so amused to find that it was the safest place I have experienced in Europe out of the 14 countries I have been lucky to visit, especially after my family and friends expressed such concern that I would be going to Ukraine! Anyway, some of the things I would suggest checking out are St. George's Cathedral, the touristy chocolate factory in the center of town, Castle Hill (there is an amazing view there!), the Seven Piggies restaurant (for a good Ukrainian meal with music), the Cat Cafe (if you like cats), and the beautiful universities around town. I look forward to your upcoming videos, and I hope you continue to have a great time!

And Rus' was the only region in the commonwealth that has its lands which further confirmes the original map of Abraham Ortelius that I sent you before, made in 1572, check it again if you want nl.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bestand:1572_Europa_Ortelius.jpg Like I said, I can hardly see your Poland there, but I clearly see Rus' And Poles have no relation to the founding of the city of Lviv - second capital of Rus'(Ukraine) after Kiev

There are so many interesting landmarks in the west part of Ukraine but the journey from Lviv is so long because of weak infrastructure. But if you have a lot of free time, you should visit: Chernivtsi (in polish: Czerniowce) - former capital Duchy of Bukovina, Chotyn (in polish: Chocim - there is a giant fortress) and obviously Kamianets Podolskyi (in polish: Kamieniec Podolski). The last one is the most famous city in Ukraine after Lviv. Good luck and best wishes from Poland :)

It is said that 50% of historic buildings of all Ukraine is in Lviv (not sure if it’s true). Other famous city in the country is Odessa (a "humour capital") in the south. Kiev is also worth visit, althogh it was reshaped by Soviets, but there are many historic sites from 1000 years old byzantine churches to soviet archutecture. I heard a lot of good about Chernivtsi (near Romania) and Vinnitsa (it was called some time ago the best city to live in the country). There are big fortresses in Kamieniec Podilskij and Chotin. But, you should focus on the area of Lviv, there are many small towns and monuments there. And the mountains, with its unique culture. In Kołomyja there’s a quite known pisanka (painted eggs) museum. Lviv is the pearl of Ukraine and a « bone of contention » between Poles and Ukrainians... It is an old Rus’ town, but its golden age was during Polish (from ~1340 to 1772 and from 1918 to 1939) and Austrian (1772-1918) rule. If you add Russia here, there’s quite a big emotional bomb ticking, because a lot of tragedies happened in this part of Europe, especially during WW2 and stalinism. Well, you can see it in some comments below... Enjoy!

Lviv (In polish Lwów) - Polish city 1340, 1349-1370, 1387-1772, 1920-1945. In 1772 Prussia, Austria and Russia made the first partition of Poland. Lviv was under Austrian domination. So most of time it was Polish city. Unfortunately is unfair.

Thank you for L'viv not Lvov! Our city was established by Ukrainian King Danylo Galytskyj ( you probably saw his monument (with horse near Galyts'lyj bazar (market)). Later on as all in Europe membership of the territory was changed by differ countries and the last one was Poland. Mostly, what you saw were built during Austria-Hungary Imperium (Cizar wanted to recreated small Vienne here) Lviv had/has a mixed different cultures and nations and they were lived in peace during long time, except some wars. City also had a river, called Poltva. On your first minutes (in front of Opera) you were stayed over river;) River was opened until lates XIX, but then were closed as was used for waste (you may google it: Poltva river and to see how it was before). For the moment Poltva's river is flow and circled by concrete rings. Some remarks: 1. Our language is cyrilic and it's very old; 2. In each cafe&rest. you can get Menu in english; 3. Mexican dishes are very popular in our city, especially buritos (probably it's not same as in Mexico, but taste); 4. If you learn ukrainian language you will understand belorusian, polish, czech, slovak, serbian, croation, bulgarian; 5. Goodbye in ukrainian is : Допобачення Do pobachennya Welcome back in X-mass time (6-7 January) and you will see and fill real Ukrainian soul!

Moreover, I invite you to Kyiv, capital city, where I live. I am sure you will find it interesting and a bit different from L'viv.

I always bought something from them, because it's impressive that they don not stay passive complaining on difficult situation after working all life, they do make an effort to get it better.

The letters "PTN PNH" (phonetic transcription from Cyrillic) on the toilet paper is short for "Putin, f*ck off!" ;-) Not many ppl speak English in Ukraine, because Ukraine is not EU member and they cannot travel freely all over the western part of Europe. In Western Europe English is simply lingua franca (except for the country of Franks, of course ;-) ) and Poles started to learn it in early 90's leaving Russian as symbol of the "happily past era" (frankly saying, there are more English speaking Poles than you think; most of us are just reluctant to speak foreign languages b/c we are effing perfectionists). Ukrainian geopolitical reality is somehow different. You probably will meet more English speaking people in Russia than in Ukraine (though it will change rather quickly, I guess; just watch what will happen when EU changes its immigration policy towards Ukraine).

Thank you for this video. I hope I will be able to visit this area one day. If not, I so very much appreciate your videos. My family was relocated from the region after the WWII. We also lost an amazing grandfather to a senseless act of war violence. A lot of history... but... I think it is better to forgive than start another territorial war... Native Americans say something like: We are only guests on our beautiful planet Earth. It belongs to a Spirit of the Universe-:) We are a global family as migrations are mixing all the races. We need to get away from an ownership, competition and superiority complex thinking in order to protect our planet and our sanity.

So bad you didn't informed you before about Lviv/ Lvov/ Lemberg. Otherwise you should know Lviv was a part of Austria. Thats still a big part of culture. You can see it also at several buildings.

Poland is a puppet state nowadays, at least for now. All Poles know this, but the real goal of Poland for the next decades is construction of the union with our eastern neighbours and strengthening our mutual relations with Ukraine, Belarus, Baltic States. Only then we could all live in fully independent states in this part of the world, without constant worry of our aggressive neighbour.

Hey, nice video, I have been to Lviv a few times and normaly stay close to the city center @ St George Hotel. Did you try Glory Cafe? Anyway, how you say the name of the Russian alphabet is spoken as in, Cerillic, not with a "K" sound. You say formal good by as Das Vedanya, or до свидания. Enjoy, If you make it to Kiev there is so much history it will move you, to stand in a building that is 5 times as old as our country, wow. later,

If you're in Lviv for a month, you really should get outside of the city. Truskavets- with it's famous healthy water (you should really try it) or other cities close to Lviv- then you'll see the real Ukraine. I really recommend to go to the Tustan - beautiful place and shows a little bit of history- and you can book the tour there, because it's really hard to go there on your own ( you would have to go on foot for many kilometers). And also- go see Carpathian Mountains! There are beautiful and very different that those in Poland. For the things in the city- there are places not mentioned on the Internet, that are beautiful-(I will give you the map I've created when I was going to Lviv- hope it will help you with something :) ) drive.google.com/open?id=1FF2A5X6NrPZwSzphCLENSZhzBPE&usp=sharing (you have to have google account unfortunately to see this)

Chełm was founded by polish Lendians tribe. Stanisławów (Ivano-Frankivsk)was also founded by Poles. Tarnopol too. Czerwonohrad (Krystynopol),Sambor,Zolochiv(Złoczów),Brody was also founded by Stanisław Żółkiewski,Bełz was founded by Lendians, Żółkiew was founded by Stanisław Żółkiewski,Mikołajów,Mościska,Przemyślany,Radziechów, Ivano-Frankowe (Janów) etc. So many cities on Ukraine were founded by Poles...

Julca Venture hi Julca, I'm originally from Chelm (no proper Polish letters on my phone). There's some Ukrainian vibe there especially if someone knows anything about the history of the city. My history teacher told us about the house where Michailo Hrushevsky was born-there's a big "sign" at the house about this. Also I took a part in lectures about how stupidly the orthodox churches in Chelm area were burnt just before the W.W.2. by Polish government. But it was after 1935 when Pilsudski was dead. He wouldn't let anyone to do it as he was a Ukrainian nation friend. As maybe you know most Orthodox people in Chelm area were forced to convert from Greek Catholic by Russian Tsar in 19th century. I don't mind Ukrainian vibes in my home town as this was our history. Polish and Ukrainian lived happily in one country for centuries. But what happened in Wolyn during the W.W.2 -Polish civilians, women and children cruelly killed by UPA and OUN members sorry we will never forget it, it's also very hard to forgive. I know that you didn't do it. But some Ukrainian men did. There was lots of mixed marriages Polish and Ukrainian in Wolyn. Sometimes UPA killed both when Ukrainian wife or husband didn't want to condemn the Polish side. If they had "mixed" children, UPA killed children too. Sorry to mention that but it's a fact. Let's not let this happen again and let's host ourselves in Chelm, in your beautiful Lviv and other places.
