There’s no surprise for anyone more that face and manners can tell much about the human’s character and his past much better than just words. Ancient Chinese people were the founders of this science. They were able to read the faces. Nowadays we called this science physiognomics.

Christmas is the biggest and most celebrated holiday for all Christians. It is time for family reunions, happiness and joy. But if you have a Ukrainian or Russian girlfriend you are luckier and not only because these girls are beautiful, educated and loving but also because you have a chance to celebrate Christmas twice! You can ask why is that? This is because Christmas in Ukraine and Russia is celebrated on the 7th of January! The Orthodox Church uses the old Julian calendar which is 13 days behind the Gregorian calendar.
In the former Soviet Union the Bolsheviks adopted the Gregorian calendar at the end of 1917 which put them in line with the rest of the Western world. However the Orthodox Church who was opposed to the oppressive steps taken by the Bolsheviks to suppress religion, kept the Julian calendar. Historically the Julian calendar is sometimes called Old Style (O.S.) and the Gregorian is called New Style (N.S.). Thus a date would be written January 1/13, 2009, meaning the 1th in new style and 13th in the old style calendar. Don’t be surprised, but at midnight on the 13th of January people in Russia celebrate Old New Year that corresponds to January 1st in the Julian calendar, used in Russia before 1918.
Psychologists say that the most favorite word a person likes to hear is his/her own name. It is also been proven that our names affect our personalities and that people with the same name have similar personalities. But if your beloved is from a culture different than yours, her name will probably sound odd to you or you might even have problem with its spelling and pronunciation. To make it easier for you we have made a list of some ( but not all) female names that are being often used in Ukraine. For your convenience we give you a name itself, its pronunciation, origin and short, informal forms of it that are normally used by friends and family members.
