Описание: (8 Jan 1979) The Ukranian Soviet Socialist republic is one of the fifteen constituent republics making up the USSR. Only the Russian and Kazakh republics out rank it in terms of size and it is second to the USSR in terms of population. During the 16th-17th centuries the position of the Ukraine as a sovereign state greatly deteriorated as it found itself under the religious and national domination of foreigners. Seeking genuine independence the Ukranian Rada (legislature) decided on January 18, 1654, on reunificaiton with Russia. On Thursday January 4th, 1979 a news conference was held in Moscow for Soviet and foreign correspondants devoted to the 325th anniversary of the reunificaiton of the Ukraine with Russia. The Ukranian Soviet Socialist republic is today the USSR's major centre of fuel, power and engineering and steel industry. It has diversified machine-building industry, advanced chemical industry, and lead the way in mechanised farming. The news conference closed with representatives of the party, government, and public organisations of the Ukranian republic answering questions from the press.
