“Eyes of the Maidan”

This woman stood on the Maidan in November-December 2004. The camera zeroed in on her face among thousands of others and caught a common expression of those days: expectation and hope. Those were strange and unique times and feelings.

DAY AFTER DAY

“On your mark!”

The parliamentary election campaign in Ukraine is just a few days away: the official start is scheduled for Nov. 26. A resolution to this effect was passed on Nov. 18 by all 13 attending members of the Central Electoral Commission (CEC). There could hardly have been a different outcome. Yet, judging by promotion clips on TV and numerous

CLOSEUP

The most important things remain unsaid

In the debates around the OUN (Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists) and the UPA (Ukrainian Insurgent Army) which have been waged for many years, the most important point has not been expressed: what is the reason behind the opposing views of this historical phenomenon?

Little is known about Frantsysk Skaryna’s life. This lacuna thus offers historians a golden opportunity to advance some interesting hypotheses. We do not even know the exact dates of his birth and death. He was supposedly born between 1485 and 1490 in Polatsk in the family of a wealthy merchant, Luka Skaryna, who traded with Bohemia, Muscovy, and

TIME OUT

TATTOOS: A SIGN OF DEMOCRACY?

Frankly speaking, I felt dizzy on my way home from the Romantyka Palace of Youth, after attending Ukraine’s first independent tattoo festival. As I sat down to write this feature, I felt torn by conflicting emotions. Before turning on the computer, I spent a long time scolding myself for my dreamy conservatism, orthodoxy, and many other world view
