Odessa or Odesa (Ukrainian: Одееса, [oˈdɛsɐ]; Russian: Од еесса; IPA: [ɐˈdʲesə]) is the fourth most populous city of Ukraine and a major tourism center, seaport and transportation hub located on the northwestern shore of the Black Sea. Odessa is also an administrative center of the Odessa Oblast and a multiethnic cultural center. Odessa is sometimes called the "pearl of the Black Sea,"[2] the "South Capital" (under the Russian Empire and Soviet Union), and "Southern Palmyra".[3] The predecessor of Odessa, a small Tatar settlement, was founded by Hacı I Giray, the Khan of Crimea, in 1440 and originally named after him as "Hacıbey".[citation needed] After a period of Lithuanian control, it passed into the domain of the Ottoman Sultan in 1529 and remained in Ottoman hands until the Ottoman Empire's defeat in the Russo-Turkish War of 1792.

In 1794, the city of Odessa was founded by a decree of the Empress Catherine the Great. From 1819 to 1858, Odessa was a free port. During the Soviet period it was the most important port of trade in the Soviet Union and a Soviet naval base. On 1 January 2000, the Quarantine Pier at Odessa Commercial Sea Port was declared a free port and free economic zone for a period of 25 years.

During the 19th century, it was the fourth largest city of Imperial Russia, after Moscow, Saint Petersburg and Warsaw.[4] Its historical architecture has a style more Mediterranean than Russian, having been heavily influenced by French and Italian styles. Some buildings are built in a mixture of different styles, including Art Nouveau, Renaissance and Classicist.[5] Odessa is a warm-water port. The city of Odessa hosts both the Port of Odessa and Port Yuzhne, a significant oil terminal situated in the city's suburbs. Another notable port, Chornomorsk, is located in the same oblast, to the south-west of Odessa. Together they represent a major transport hub integrating with railways.

Odessa's oil and chemical processing facilities are connected to Russian and European networks by strategic pipelines.

As of 31 December 2004, it had a population of 2,629 and an area of 39.3 square kilometres (15.2 sq mi).[1]

81.6% of these were Romanians, 14.2% Hungarians and 3.7% Roma.

4) Moldova From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Moldova (/mɒlˈdoʊvə, mɔːl-/ (About this sound listen) or sometimes UK: /ˈmɒldəvə/),[10][11][12] officially the Republic of Moldova (Romanian: Republica Moldova, About this sound listen (help·info)), is a landlocked country in Eastern Europe, bordered by Romania to the west and Ukraine to the north, east, and south (by way of the disputed territory of Transnistria).[13] The capital city is Chi șinău.

On 27 August 1991, as part of the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the Moldavian SSR declared independence and took the name Moldova. The current Constitution of Moldova was adopted in 1994. The strip of the Moldovan territory on the east bank of the Dniester river has been under the de facto control of the breakaway government of Transnistria since 1990.

Most of the Moldovan territory was a part of the Principality of Moldavia from the 14th century until 1812, when it was ceded to the Russian Empire by the Ottoman Empire (to which Moldavia was a vassal state) and became known as Bessarabia.

In 1856, southern Bessarabia was returned to Moldavia, which three years later united with Wallachia to form Romania, but Russian rule was restored over the whole of the region in 1878.

During the 1917 Russian Revolution, Bessarabia briefly became an autonomous and then independent Moldavian Democratic Republic until it was integrated into Romania in 1918 following a vote of its assembly. The decision was disputed by Soviet Russia, which, in 1924, allowed the establishment, within the Ukrainian SSR, of a Moldavian autonomous republic (MASSR) on partial Moldovan-inhabited territories to the east of the Dniester. In 1940, as a consequence of the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact, Romania was compelled to cede Bessarabia to the Soviet Union, leading to the creation of the Moldavian Soviet Socialist Republic (Moldavian SSR), which included the greater part of Bessarabia and the westernmost strip of the former MASSR.

Due to a decrease in industrial and agricultural output following the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the service sector has grown to dominate Moldova's economy and currently composes over 60% of the nation's GDP. Its economy is the poorest in Europe in per capita terms.[13][14] Moldova is also the least visited country in Europe by tourists with only 11,000 annually recorded visitors from abroad.[15] Moldova is a parliamentary republic with a president as head of state and a prime minister as head of government. It is a member state of the United Nations, the Council of Europe, the World Trade Organization (WTO), the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), the GUAM Organization for Democracy and Economic Development, the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) and the Organization of the Black Sea Economic Cooperation (BSEC) and aspires to join the European Union.[16][17]

Fairy tales about the Internet My virtual pets The cat Kisiunia and the dog Mikkie lived in a big house in the suburb of a big city with their owner Dasha. They loved sitting next to Dasha when she surfed the Internet.

One day, Dasha was at school, her parents were at work, her elder sister was at university, and the two friends were at home alone. They became bored and they decided to turn on the computer, to log on and surf the Net like Dasha did.

Kisiunia and Mikkie logged on and, suddenly, got into the screen. First, they were very scared, but then they decided to have a walk around Dasha’s computer. They went to the folder “Documents” and there they saw the folder “My Photos”. They wanted to look at the photos. Of course, the pets looked all the pictures.

But then Kisiunia and Mikkie became bored again. And they went on the Internet. Mikkie wanted to find a site with something to eat, but Kisiunia wanted to find a cozy place to sleep. So, not surprising, that they had a little argument, then, they went in different directions. Mikkie found a site with cheap dog food, he ate a bit of than and wanted to have some meat because his owner didn’t let him eat too much meat. The clever doggy put the bookmark on the site and set off to look for the site with meat. Meanwhile, Kisiunia find a cozy site and fell asleep.

Of course, Mikkie found a site which offered all kinds of meat: sausages, ham, fresh beef, pork, lamb… Then he started looking for Kisiunia. Soon he found her. And they decided to go to YouTube and listen to music or watch a video.

At this very moment Dasha came home from school. She saw that her computer was on. She turned off it and went downstairs to have lunch. But the two travellers found themselves in Dasha’s bedroom, sitting in front of the computer.

A magic friend As usual, a little girl Polina came back from school in the afternoon. She was tired and sad. She wanted to find a good friend who she could get on with. She needed somebody to feel nice and not boring with.

“Hello!”- said somebody somewhere around her.

The girl looked around. But there was nothing but toys on the sofa and a computer on the desk.

“Hello!”- the voice repeated its greeting.- “It is me, your computer. My name is Buch. I will be your friend.”

The little girl became really happy. Since then, she talked to her magic friend. Polina was never lonely any more.
