We have collected and arranged a large (more than 6 Gb) amount of texts of Ukrainian periodicals and continue to extend our archive. We are aiming to reach one billion words.

The exact same texts are used for Word Embeddings calculation. Unfortunately, licence restrictions of some periodicals prohibit publishing their texts unchanged.

To give public access to this data, we split them into sentences and then shuffled them randomly. Thus, everyone can use these texts to calculate any statistical models that work on a sentence level. We also published the lemmatized version of these texts in a different archive. For tokenization and lemmatization, we used the nlp-uk library from Andriy Rysin and the BrUk group.

The archive contains sentences from the following periodicals:

• Ukrainska pravda
• LTD UNIAN
• NGO Hromadske.TV
• PJSC TV and radio company Liuks, Zaxid.net
• LTD Korespondent
• Ekspres
• «ZN.UA»
• Private enterprise Ukraina Moloda
• PJSC Vysoky Zamok Publishing House
• Newspaper Brovary (You have a right to know)
• The Ukrainian Week
