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.
