Dear Visitor,

thank you for your interest in Bukovyna Cognita website.

This project has very few common with business. We place some Google advertising on our pages but it's rather an experiment (which, until present, has proved almost negative efficiency :)). The main purpose of the website is to inform the global community about Bukovyna as this land has something to be proud for.

However, the developer of this project is a private translator and this profession was of critical importance to embody Bukovyna's beauty and Bukovynians' achievements in English texts. And this might be true that after becoming aware of Bukovyna you might also like to know who stands behind it. So, please, let me introduce myself.
