Lviv (Ukrainian:L’viv; Latin: Leopolis; Russian: L'vov; Polish: Lwow; German: Lemberg; see also other names) is a major city in western Ukraine. Historically, it was one of the main cultural and scientific centers of Europe.
It is regarded as one of the main cultural centres of Ukraine. In 2001, it had 725,000 inhabitants, of whom 88 percent were Ukrainians, 9 percent Russians (down from 16 percent in 1989) and 1 percent Poles . A further 200,000 people commuted daily from suburbs. The city has many industries and institutions of higher education such as the Lviv University and the Lviv Polytechnic. It has a philharmonic orchestra and The Lviv Theatre of Opera and Ballet. The historic city centre is on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Lviv celebrated its 750th anniversary with a son et lumiere in the city centre in September 2006.
It was established in the early 1200s during the reign of Ruthenian King Danylo in honour of his son Lev and initially belonged to the Kievan Rus' who had been in the Kiev area since 800 AD and are considered the ancestors of Ukraine. For many centuries it was fought over and incorporated into many different countries and empires. In 1349 the region was seized by the Poles under Kazimierz III and subsequently was governed as part of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth. In 1772 it became part of Austro-Hungary during the First Partition of Poland and, known in German as Lemberg, was the capital of the Austrian Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria. Following the downfall of the Austro-Hungarian Empire after World War I Lviv Ukraine was, for a short time, the capital of the Western Ukrainian Republic. Poland was reconstituted shortly after World War I and eventually Lviv was incorporated into the Second Polish Republic.....
