Many of the streets and roads in the Ukraine (and Russia and 
Belarus) were drawn by me, based on GPS tracklogs that someone 
(unknown to me) has uploaded to the OpenStreetMap website.  It's 
really only two main roads going north-to-south through 
Kursk-Charkiv-Dnipopetrovsk and Vitebsk-Kiev-Odessa, with some 
streets inside the major cities.  See my diary on the wiki 
(user:LA2) for April and May 2007.
