Dnieper Ukraine
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dnieper Ukraine (Ukrainian: Наддніпрянщина, Naddnipryanshchyna), was the territory of Ukraine in the Russian Empire (Little Russia), roughly corresponding to the current territory of Ukraine, with the exceptions of the Black Sea peninsula of Crimea (made part of Soviet Ukraine in 1954) and Galicia in the west, which was a province of the Austrian Empire. It is sometimes called Great Ukraine (Velyka Ukrayina) by Galicians.
