 Russia, Ukraine & Belarus May 1, 2004
3 out of 6 found this review helpful
I found this book invalueable with regards to any proposed trips to the the Ukraine or Belarus. However, I found it somewhat inacurate with its factual history of medival asia minor. Especially on page 29 when discribing the break up of the Tar-Tar empire as being due to an internal division with the turkic empire of Timur(Tamerlane), which was based in Samarkand. As I happen to have some descent to this area I know for a fact that Timur was in fact of Persian origin. His empire was actually part of the Peacock throne Persian empire. It was settled by first the tar-tars and later the turks who are now the majority of it's population. However, this is a much later turkic migration than the one proposed in the book.Thanks, Anwar Ahmad.
 Handy Guide to Ukraine February 5, 2002

I recently went to the Ukraine for 3 months. This was the only gudiebook that I took with me. I found it invaluable at least as a starting point. I spent most of my time in Kiev, but I also travelled to the black sea in order to visist Odessa and the beautiful Crimea region. The book gives a good background to each of these places and maps on all the main city centres. There are helpful tips and dos and donts that are best to adhere to. Its major floor, regarding Ukraine is that theres no where near as much on it as Russia. In the case of Belarus theres even less. Still if you are going there and you like me only intend to take one book - buy this one.
Comprehensive guide to a virtually unexplored destination January 27, 2001

A must buy for any visitor to the Ukraine. Of all the guide books that I read on the region the Lonley Planet effort came out on top once again. It opens up this under visited region to the in-experienced western vistor, providing useful phrases and insights into customs and cultures. Well done to the Lonley Planet.
