RICH SOILS OF MOLDOVA
Moldova consists of partially wooded
plains intercut with rivers and streams.
About 75 percent of the land is rich
in chernozem (black) soil, which is
very fertile. Wine and sunflower
production are important here.
Fruit and vegetables, such
as pumpkins (left), also
grow well.
PEOPLE OF ROMANIA
Romanians speak Romanian—a language closely related
to French, Italian, and Spanish. The country also has
sizeable Hungarian and Roma minorities, which have
both been discriminated against
in recent years. Most Hungarian
speakers live in the region of
Romania known as Transylvania.
HOLIDAYS BY THE SEA
In the days of the Russian
empire, aristocracy and artists
flocked to the Black Sea resorts of
the Crimea, especially Yalta; the
famous authors Leo Tolstoy and
Anton Chekhov holidayed here.
During the Soviet era, it was the
nation’s top holiday destination.
After 1991, it began attracting
foreign visitors, but tourism
has declined since Russia
annexed Crimea in 2014.
Liquid iron ore
INDUSTRY IN THE UKRAINE
Ukraine is the world’s tenth largest
steel producer, and also has a big
vehicle and space industry. Most of
the heavy industry, however, is situated
in the east, an area badly affected
by Ukrainian-Russian tensions, and
exports have been severely damaged
since the fallout with Russia.
Children of
the Maramures
region of
Transylvania.
