Does Ukraine have have Christmas?

We celebrate Christmas on January 7th. First of all Christmas is a day when Jesus Christ was born, not the day when Santa Claus brings gifts. That stuff happens on New Years in some families, but it's not a tradition. On Christmas eve we make Kutya - unique dish and another 12 different lenten meals, then we have a supper and then we go to church for evening service. On the next day (January 7th) we can eat meat, ham, jellied meat, and all the rest of meals. People basicly have a supper, on Christmas, with their relatives, family, sometimes with friends. Also we trade gifts with each other on December 19 - St.Mikolay (Nickolas). As I already typed, some people give each other gifts on New Years day. We celebrate Christmas according to tradition.

About 19th of December, usually adults trade gifts, but St. Nicola's day is the day when kinds receive presents under their pillows from St. Nicolas if they were good the last year. It is favorite holiday for all the ukrainian children because it is always so much fun. I remember i was the happiest little girl in the world when I woke up the 19th of December with my pillow slanted up with all the candies and goodies.

About Christmas day, also kids go from house to house, from appartment to appartment, singing carols and people give them usually money for that. I personally did that when i was little and it was quite a good profit. Sometimes churches organize singing carols and gathering money for that for church. Also it is a lent like 2 weeks before Christmas so we can't have any parties, night clubs, no meat on Fridays (usually), the only one exception is the New Year day. It is quite entertaining to celebrate Christmas in Ukraine, everybody's welcome!

Is Ukraine a parliamentary or presidential democracy?

Because the constitution of 1993 dictates such a system, whereby the head of the government is the PM & the head of state is the president. The president appoints the PM rather than a legislative election of the majority party being held. The president's nominee must be approved by the Duma, which in actuality is simply a rubber stamp for Medvedev & Putin. Putin has been elected President again and he will appoint Medvedev as his PM and the appointment will receive the approval of the Duma. There are some divisions of formal power between the two positions in the Constitution, however, as Putin has centralized power in the office and among his supporters over the past decade, the power, in reality, seems to reside with Putin who has been making more political decisions and influencing policy as the PM more than any other PM in the past, whereby overlooking the few divisions of power that do exist between these positions.

Who is the President of Ukraine in 2013?

Viktor Fedorovych Yanukovych was the President of Ukraine at the start of 2014. He was replaced on February 23 by Acting President Oleksandr Valentynovych Turchynov.

Yanukovych became the 4th President of Ukraine on 2010 February 25, serving until 2014 February 23. Born in 1950, he first became a politician in 1996 when he was appointed vice-head of Donetsk. He became the governor a year later, serving for 5 years. He was appointed to Prime Minister in 2002 and while Prime Minister, ran for president in 2004. Although initially Yanukovych was declared the winner, the Supreme Court of Ukraine declared the results invalid, and the final run-off of the election was repeated. Yushchenko came out victorious.

Yanukovych led the main opposition party from 2005 until the parliamentary elections in mid 2006, after which he was again made Prime Minister until 2007 December. In the 2010 election, Yanukovych again ran for president, and this time he beat out Prime Minister Tymoshenko in the run-off to win the presidency.

Politics and massive corruption of Yanukovych's regime led to an uprising which eventually ousted Yanukovych from power. Although his removal has not been fully constitutional, this may be a moot point considering the Russia invasion and annexation of Crimea, as well as continued instability in the Ukraine.
