Ukraine will become one day a new Greece. The beautiful
climate of this country, the gay disposition of the people,
their musical inclination and the fertile soil will all
awaken. From so many small tribes which in the past were
Greeks, there will rise a great and cultured nation and its
boundaries will extend to the Black Sea, and thence into
the far-flung world.
- Johann Gottfried Herder, German Philosopher,
1744-1803. Forum No. 8, Spring 1969, p. 11.
