In the English language in Ukrainian, the capital of Ukraine is Kyiv, not Kiev. And for example MS Encarta uses Kyiv now. But many American mass media use Kiev. And in the English language in Ukraine, the \"гривня\" is \'hryvnia\', but the same MS Encarta uses both \'hryvnia\' and \'hryvna\' NOW: \"In 1996, Ukraine adopted a new constitution, slowed its economic decline, and introduced a national currency (the hryvna).\" The hryvnia, the currency introduced in September 1996, was successfully stabilized between 1.7 and 1.9 against the U.S. dollar.
