TITLE PAGE

A symbolical opposition In Soviet time sports competitions were very important, most importantly, they were symbolical. Millions of people literally stuck to TV screens to watch the hockey matches between the USSR and Canada. The author’s father still remembers in details those bouts (there have been even series of matches): who scored and how – the famous “Firsov’s kick,” what was the atmosphere among the fans like at the time, how the generations of stars changed. That was really symbolical. Two systems were competing, Yanukovych is practically cornered All official information concerning the meeting between Presidents Putin and Yanukovych in Novo-Ogaryovo is negative for Ukraine, especially considering Russia’s comments. A Russian periodical’s subsidiary in Ukraine quotes Sergei Ivanov, head of Russia’s presidential administration, as saying that Yanukovych paid his visit primarily in conjunction with the parliamentary campaign in Ukraine: “Apparently they [i.e., the Ukrainian side] needed this visit in the first place.” He went on to say, with On safety of a “drop-in center” When the oppositionist from a neighbor country is kidnapped in broad daylight and our special services do not react to it at all, an unflattering but revealing comparison with a “drop-in center” inevitably springs to mind. Of course, we do not deserve such associations, but unfortunately, the inability of Ukrainian government to even articulately comment on the situation only enhances this comparison. This day in history 1649: Bohdan Khmelnytsky is elected as Hetman of Ukraine.	Yanukovych is practically cornered On safety of a “drop-in center” This day in history

DAY AFTER DAY

“A fuzzy line between permitted and gross violation” On October 18 the law “On security guard activities” supposed to enlarge the powers of private security agencies came into force. Headlines of certain editions loudly declared: “The law allowing security beating customers came into force in Ukraine” and provoked unrest amongst Ukrainians. “Nobody is allowed to beat customers,” director of the private security agency Maksyma in Ternopil Borys Bezruchenko emphasized. Security have no right not only to use special equipment or traumatic weapons (by Climbing up the investment attractiveness ladder Ukraine ranked first among Eastern European and Central Asian countries on improving the business environment in 2012, the World Bank and International Finance Corporation (IFC) said in their Doing Business 2013 survey.

Painful memories Exhibition “Letters – Painful Memories” is open at the National Museum “Memorial in Commemoration of Famines’ Victims in Ukraine.” The exposition includes diaries of witnesses of the Holodomor in 1932-33 that were kept in the SBU archives and memoirs of our contemporaries, whose family survived the horror. “They sold sausage of human flesh,” says Oleksandra Radchenko, village teacher from Kharkiv region. “Even newspapers wrote that the measures are being taken but children are dying anyway.” “Elka Court suspends government appeal against payment of the UESU debt Kyiv Commercial Court of Appeal stayed the proceedings in the case of the Ukrainian Cabinet of Ministers appealing its liability for the debt owed to the Russian Defense Ministry by the UESU pending information on the Security Service of Ukraine (SSU)’s investigation of a criminal case involving the same subject matter. The UNIAN reported that the decision was announced by the presiding judge Viktor Shapran at the hearing held on October 22. The stay of proceedings came after the Cabinet had sent Petro Hryhorenko commemorated in the Crimea The Crimean residents commemorated the 105th anniversary of General Hryhorenko’s birth, honoring the renowned human rights activist and dissident, co-founder of the Ukrainian Helsinki Group.

The March of Millions failed to produce the numbers advertised in their name, and the oppositionists keep squabbling among themselves. This has created a particularly comfortable situation for the regime. Why increase the tension and bring up opposition stories in the media? We can only wonder.

TOPIC OF The Day

Ukraine’s Opposition trying to unite Watching the Batkivshchyna-Svoboda Opposition making every effort to arrange for a joint action memorandum with Vitali Klitschko’s UDAR party in the next Ukrainian parliament, one is reminded of Albert Einstein who said, “A perfection of means, and confusion of aims, seems to be our main problem.” Batkivshchyna was apparently no longer concerned about winning as many votes as it could, combating the “bandit regime.” They wanted a deal with UDAR, above all a document signed to the effect that they When do the transformations start in Ukraine? On October 19, well-known Ukrainian public figure Bohdan HAWRYLYSHYN celebrated his 86th anniversary. We congratulated him and used this opportunity to ask a few urgent questions. Hennadii IVANUSHCHENKO: “We must tell a true history of Ukraine to the entire world, not only to the Ukrainians” Everybody can now see with their own eyes the shirt Stepan Bandera was wearing on the last day of his life, virtually “leaf through” the OUN Directorate’s unique documents or old foreign Ukrainian publications the only copy of which is kept in London. You do not even leave your house: all you have to do is browse a new Internet resource, the website of the London-based Ukrainian Information Service’s OUN Archive (http://ounuis.info). The age of Edison’s light bulb coming to an end October 22 is the International Day of Light. This day in 1879 Thomas Edison invented the electric light bulb. Back then it was a real technological revolution. However, today incandescent lamps seem to live out their remaining days. Using them is really uneconomical (experts have calculated that only illumination consumes about 20 percent of the whole electric energy in the world). That is why about 30 countries have already refused to use them and EU banned their production and importation.	When do the transformations start in Ukraine?

SOCIETY

A unique find near Poltava The most conspicuous evidence of Ukraine-Bulgaria friendship is the common historic past of our nations, which dates back ages ago. In 1912, at a small village of Mala Pereshchepyna near Poltava, Europe’s greatest hoard of gold jewelry was unearthed, which had belonged to the founder of Old Great Bulgaria, Khan Kubrat (Kuvrat). This fact is yet another proof of our common roots. The centennial of the unique find was marked in Mala Pereshchepyna, where numerous guests from Kyiv, Odesa, Simferopol, Authenticity and ruins The Ukrainian Section at the International Association of Art Critics AICA under the auspices of UNESCO is deeply concerned by the state of majestic monuments of Podillia sacral architecture. Visualization of journalists’ issues After films screening in Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk, Ternopil, Vinnytsia, and Kharkiv Festival “Kinomedia” recently finished in Kyiv. Eight short films that won the festival competition in the past years were presented to the audience at “Ye” bookstore. The name of this year’s finalist will be announced on December 1 during the closing ceremony of the festival. Admission of films for the festival this year will be open until November 15 and the winners of the contest will be named on December 5. Donetsk is one of the Ukrainian cities with the best facilities for disabled people. However, it is still far behind Europe A couple of years ago getting around the city was like a snake game for disabled and aged people and young moms, as they could move only along a certain trajectory. Despite the fact that today Donetsk still cannot be compared to any European city, where accessibility is a usual thing, a lot has changed there over the past year. It should be noted that these changes have been made with minimum expenses.

CULTURE

Music and charity The concert turned out to be unusual: it was organized to support a talented pianist, student of Kyiv’s Lysenko Special Secondary Music School Yevhen Motorenko. This young musician (in his 13 he is a winner of many international competitions) has suffered a double fracture of arm, which has put his professional future at risk. The concert was organized by the Artistic Foundation “Nashe” (Ours), which takes care of young Ukrainian musicians by giving scholarships and grants. In particular, with the Galician Modernist Olena Kulchytska is one of the most significant personalities in Ukrainian art of the early 20th century. Her creative work is perceived as an integral artistic phenomenon, inspired by the creative intellect of the artist, who tirelessly enriched and developed national traditions. Self-Seeker sets the tone for Molodist-2012 The 42nd Kyiv International Film Festival Molodist opened in a solemn atmosphere, created by the luxurious hall of the National Opera, to Mykola Lysenko’s music, which made an emphasis on the strong “Ukrainian segment of this year’s festival.”	Galician Modernist Self-Seeker sets the tone for Molodist-2012

TIME OUT

Serhii Zhyvotkov’s “La Bella Pittura” Serhii Zhyvotkov is an artist of the late 1980s – the time of “break and transition,” from the generation that defiantly broke all the canons and set itself free from the shackles of socialist realism. His peers in the heat of excitement of innovation, intoxicated with freedom since perestroika crossed the line of aesthetic and entered the area of extraordinary – ugly and tabooed things. The aesthetic views of the Zhyvotkov brothers Serhii and Oleksandr crystallized distinctly in contrast to the No compromise Within the framework of the project “Art Map of Ukraine” which promotes information about art centers, schools, and unique creative personalities, the Museum of Modern Art of Ukraine presented painting, graphic, drawing, and applique work of Karlo Zvirynsky (1923-97). Deep Purple in Kyiv The famed musicians will come to the stage of the Palace of Sports on November 1 to present the audience with immortal, universally liked hits and a live show. The band’s composition has changed several times, but the repeated infusion of fresh energy only helped it every time. Nowadays, the band’s anchors are vocalist Ian Gillan, guitarist Steve Morse, bass guitarist Roger Glover, keyboardist Don Airey who formerly performed with Rainbow, and drummer Ian Paice, Deep Purple’s only continuous member.
