The dominant religion in Ukraine is Ukrainian Orthodox. About 76% of the population practices this faith, while 8% are Ukrainian Greek Catholic. Another 7.2% of Ukrainians belong to the Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox church, and 2.2% of Ukrainians belong to the Roman Catholic church, with another 2.2% identifying themselves as Protestant. Members of the Jewish faith make up 0.6% of the population. I am wondering if there is a Presbyterian congregation in Luhansk, or even any Protestant church. If there is a Presbyterian church in Luhansk, I would like to visit it.

I have my tickets!
I have purchased my airfare to Kyiv, so that is one more hurdle behind me. I will be flying into Kyiv-Borispol Airport (KBP), which is the international airport in Kyiv. I will be flying from the U.S. to Frankfurt, a city I have never visited, and from Frankfurt to Kyiv.

Ukrainian Visa
10/20/10 Update: My NAUKOVA (research) visa arrived today. One more hurdle behind me.
I mailed my visa application to the Ukrainian Consulate General inChicago this morning. I really hope everything is correct and in order. It took some time to gather all of the information and materials and put it together.
For individuals interested in traveling toUkraine , which is well worth a visit, Americans do not require a visa if they plan on staying less than 90 days. If one will be in the country longer than 90 days, then there are two options: leave Ukraine temporarily and take a trip to a neighboring country or apply for a visa. If leaving Ukraine even temporarily is not workable, then it is best to apply for the visa early enough, so you don't find yourself without it when your departure date arrives. I read somewhere that the Ukrainian Consulate recommends that one apply 3 months before the departure date. For those who procrastinate, there is an expedited visa processing option, but it is rather expensive.
