| | Carpatho-Rusyn Background |
| | Faced with ethnic problems in other regions (not to mention Ukraine's 10 million Russians and Crimea with its Russian and Tatar problems), Kyiv is reluctant to open what seems to be a Pandora's box of ethnic demands for more rights and concessions. | | | In Slovakia, they can be found mainly in the Presov region, and in Poland, they live in two separate regions in the southern part of the country. | | | Some Ukrainians argue that the question about the region's autonomy was included in one phrase with the question about Ukraine's independence and thus people in Transcapathia supported the independence of the state rather than their self-rule. |

| | With a land mass similar to that of the United States, and the distance between the Swan and Hunter Valleys the same as that betvveen Madrid and Stockholm, it might seem inevitable that Australia should have an unsurpassed range of high quality viticultural regions. | | | The Australian Wine Research Insutute (AWRI) was not formally constituted until 1955, but its origins go back to 1934 when John Fornachon was appointed to the Australian Wine Board to investigate the causes of bacterial spoilage in fortified wine then being exported to the United Kingdom. | | | It is not too fanciful to say that Australian wine style reflects the abundance of sunshine, the clear light, the unpolluted environment and the wide open spaces in which the grapes are typically grown. |
