History of the Ukrainian cities
Lviv was founded as a fort in the mid-13th century by Prince Danylo Halitski of Galicia, a former principality of Kyivan Rus. The first mention of Lviv in early chronicles is from 1256. The first half of the 17th century appeared to be the most active period in the city's development, by that time there where 25-30 thousand people. In 1784, the first university was opened. Lectures were held in Latin, German, Polish and Ukrainian.
In the second half of the nineteenth century, construction, trade, transport and industry started to develop rapidly until the first world war started. Towards the end of the 19th century, Lviv became the center of a new Ukrainian national movement. Many prominent cultural and political leaders lived in Lviv, among them Ivan Franko, Mykhailo Hrushevsky, it was a meeting place of Ukrainian, Polish, and Jewish cultures.

The CIS' Collective Security Treaty is getting down to the wire, with a summit scheduled for April 2. Georgia has joined Azerbaijan and Uzbekistan in declaring the current treaty unacceptable, and in fact she has joined Azerbaijan, Ukraine and Moldova in forming a new security organization, dubbed GUAM. Georgia herself is still in danger of splintering violently - with serious implications for possible oil and gas pipelines.

Russia and the Caspian: The New Middle East. Part VII
Georgia, Azerbaijan and Uzbekistan have left the CIS Collective Security Treaty, and Georgia and Azerbaijan have become increasingly pro-NATO. This adds a weighty set of political priorities to the economic ones implicated in the various pipeline proposals for tapping the vast oil and gas wealth of the Caspian Sea region. The US wants the pipeline to avoid Russian and Iranian territory, and is willing to use various financial instruments at her disposal to influence that, in the face of growing private concerns regarding the trans-Caspian proposal's profitability. The pipeline would involve Kazakhstan and especially Turkmenistan in Caucasian affairs to a much greater extent than is the case now.
