Volyn region is located in the north-west of Ukraine, bordering Poland and Belarus: the mushroom go to the brothers-Slavs in the former Union, and many prefer to work with fellow Slavs from the former socialist camp. The region is one of the smallest, in area - about 20,000 square kilometers and population - slightly more than a million people. Fewer of these indicators only Chernivtsi region.
The area, which is also called Polesie (the Belarusians - their own, we have - its all to be honest 
), Was formed in December 1939. Prior to that was, as native Ukrainian (education Galicia-Volyn principality in the Middle Ages) and was under the authority of the Commonwealth, and then departed for the Russian empire and then to Poland after World War II. On the border land, it is always the case.
At the base of the lowland area covered by forests and swamps. A small part of the territory lies in the Volyn-Podolsk Upland. But all the same: the forests and swamps, and occasionally the field - that is what Polesie Far to the Carpathians. Therefore, from the mineral resources: brown coal, peat and natural gas (gas is clearly not an industrial scale, and "Aby Bulo"), which is why most of the labor force and focus on agriculture, because the industry does not happen. In agriculture, dominated by dairy and beef cattle and growing grain, potatoes and beets.
In general, the economic potential of the region is low, but there is one "but". This is the only city in the Ukraine, where the buses let out. Remember the manholes? Well, that's exactly Lutsk Automobile Plant. Now here let "Bogdan" s, I do not know on whose projects ... But the fact remains and it is pleasing to the beam. Transport will always be needed.
From the water - mainly lakes. The most famous - Shatsky, one of the most famous Ukrainian lakes - Svityaz - located in the territory of Volyn region. And the Pripyat River rolls its waters here. Recreation and resorts built in the woods in the fresh air, though not mountainous, but enjoyable. Of the flora and fauna are typical representatives of deciduous forests.
Luck - the regional center. The city is mentioned as early as 1085, and received city status in 1795 (Lugansk just laid .) The population is about 200,000, which again is one of the most recent results for the whole Ukraine. A city with a rich history and traditions.
