Earlier this year the CBC did an online poll seeking out the wonders of Canada.
Not to be outdone, a committee for the "Seven Wonders of Ukraine," contest, which was set up and headed by Verkhovna Rada deputy speaker Mykola Tomenko nine months ago, announced yesterday a list of the seven most attractive places and objects for sightseeing in Ukraine.
The list was compiled based on an Internet poll that involved 75,000 Ukrainians and a "poll among experts."
The list is as follows:
1)the Kamyanets Fortress in Kamyanets-Podilskyy (Khmelnytskyy Oblast);
2)the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra in Kyiv;
3)St. Sofia Cathedral in Kyiv;
4)the Sofiyivka Park in Uman (Cherkasy Oblast);
5)the Khersones Tavriyskyy archeological site in Sevastopol (Crimea);
6)the Khotyn Fortress in Khotyn (Chernivtsi Oblast); and
7)Khortytsya -- an former Cossack base on the Khortytsya Island on the Dnipro River (Zaporizhzhya Oblast).

Great travel list of places to visit.
My aunt and cousin are heading over there for 3 weeks in mid-Sept. I am seething with jealousy.
Sheena:
Election observers or just visiting?
Would 3 weeks be anywhere near enough? ;-) Still, I understand (and share!) your jealousy...
