TITLE PAGE

“9 months + 3 days” Every woman dreams of becoming a happy mother. When this miracle occurs every mother wants to remember forever the first days of her child. This dream came true for several dozen women in Ukraine and Austria who took part in a project organized by the Ukrainian photographer Ihor Haidai. Infants aged between three and 72 hours are the main characters of his pictures. Also their mothers. A display of these photos, entitled “9 Months + 3 Days,” has been launched at the Ukrainian Home. It will last until Understanding the price of freedom On May 27, 2008, an exhibit entitled “The Ukrainian Insurgent Army: The History of the Unvanquished” opened at the Security Service of Ukraine. This large exhibit, which includes over 500 photographs, documents from Soviet and German archives, and internal documents of the OUN and the UPA, is a joint project of the Security Service of Ukraine and the Center for the Study of the Liberation Movement with support from the Ukrainian Institute of National Memory. What is unique about this exhibit is that The focus group has formed its opinion why one should read The Day The Day is one of only a few newspapers — and the only sociopolitical periodical — with an English-language weekly digest.

DAY AFTER DAY

Our Ukraine launches large-scale NATO information project The recent NATO summit in Bucharest must have been a cold shower for our national democrats, forcing them to switch from rhetoric about the need to conduct explanatory work about NATO to concrete action. On May 30, the Our Ukraine- People’s Union Party (NU-NS) launched a project called “Yes to NATO!” in support of Ukraine’s membership. The birthplace of giraffes Journalism can and must form values, no matter how dubious this idea may sound. Ukrainian society, which declared its goal to become democratic after leaving the post-totalitarian space, is in dire need of professional journalists, who will surgically excise the past and provide a treatment to cure the present. But to be able to perform such procedures, journalists need to undergo moral training. The heads of many journalists — and, indeed, our entire national informational space — are littered with Estonian recipe The entry of any country into NATO is a kind of litmus test of its statehood, and one can convince the population of the necessity to join the North Atlantic Treaty Organization only with the help of facts. This opinion was expressed last week by Estonian experts taking part in a roundtable entitled “Estonia in NATO: Experience, Lessons, and the Future,” which was organized with the assistance of the Democratic Initiatives Foundation. Madis Mikko, an adviser to Estonia’s Ministry of Defense, together Afghanistan: problems and interests During his recent visit to Ukraine, Afghanistan’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Rangin Dadfar SPANTA brought some good news: the president of Afghanistan will visit Ukraine this year. What hopes is Afghanistan pinning on the meeting between the leaders of our two countries? What help does Kabul want from Ukraine? These and other questions are raised in The Day ’s exclusive interview with Afghanistan’s foreign minister. Israel’s diamond anniversary Israel recently celebrated its 60th birthday. Many world leaders, including US President George Bush, visited Israel to mark this anniversary, which received extensive coverage in the international media. Israel is ready to advance the peace process in the Middle East. As the news Web site Why-Net reported last week, Israel has offered Palestinian radical groups a two-stage plan to cease hostilities in the Gaza Strip. Many Israeli ministers are ready to consider the question of Israel’s withdrawal The last school bell Last week all of Ukraine’s schools went through the last- bell ceremony. For the junior graders it meant the beginning of the summer vacations, but for the eleventh-graders — the start of the most trying period of final tests for the “state examinations.” All school-leavers will take them, but the results will not affect the marks in their secondary-education certificates. The school-leavers also received the first certificates with their independent Ukrainian language, literature and mathematics “Warriors of the world” On Thursday, May 29, 2008, Ukraine marked the International Day of United Nations Peacekeepers on the state level for the fifth time. Key government officials paid their respects to Ukrainian peacekeepers, who are helping to maintain peace in various hotspots around the world. President Viktor Yushchenko noted that, thanks to the efforts of our peacekeepers, Ukraine is now recognized as a respected and reliable peacekeeping partner of the international community. “Your difficult service on combat Public opinion is the highest authority The Kyiv Law Society was founded in 1877 at the Kyiv Imperial University of St. Volodymyr (now Taras Shevchenko Kyiv National University). During the period of struggle for Ukraine’s independence in the early part of the 20th century, its traditions were continued by the Ukrainian Law Society, which was founded in 1917 and supported by the Central Rada. It ceased to exist immediately after the liquidation of the Ukrainian National Republic. How will the hryvnia revaluation affect your business? The recent revaluation of the hryvnia will directly affect only a proportion of Ukrainian citizens: those who have savings. However, down the road the measures adopted by the National Bank of Ukraine are likely to cause repercussions (not necessarily negative one) that will affect enterprises and businesses. The Day queried its experts about possible developments.

CLOSEUP

“Heroes of our time” boldly immortalized in Dnipropetrovsk Dnipropetrovsk is not Ukraine’s number-one city, but neither is it number two. This maxim, which appeared during Leonid Kuchma’s presidency, was a favorite with his fellow countrymen, who would often quote it while laughing at the residents of the Ukrainian capital and other regions. During Kuchma’s time, this eastern Ukrainian city, once known as Brezhnev’s “hot-house of party cadres,” became Ukraine’s political trendsetter, producing “promising” people, ideas, and trends — just like in Gogol’s Legends and myths surrounding the Bologna Process This may be the most controversial and provocative part of my article. I am adamant in my conviction that the introduction of a new list of Bachelor’s degrees under the slogan of “conformity to European standards” has inflicted the greatest damage on Ukrainian post-secondary education in the last few years. My view is shared by others. A well-known and influential rector whom I recently queried about his attitude to the necessity of introducing the new list of Bachelor’s degrees responded with a	Legends and myths surrounding the Bologna Process

SOCIETY

The Dnipropetrovsk context “Reviving the national culture” was the slogan of the special days that were dedicated to our newspaper and held last week in Dnipropetrovsk under the auspices of our friends at National Mining University. The university faculty and students who organized the event stressed that their goal was to rally the residents of Dnipropetrovsk around the idea of Ukrainocentrism. As part of the effort to further this goal, The Day ’s photo exhibit was opened, a meeting of the Ostroh Club of Young Intellectuals

CULTURE

“I’m just learning the ropes” — film produce Oleh Kokhan Ukrainians can moan and groan about the absence of a national cinema until the cows come home. They can champion its national essence by banning all languages but their own on movie theater screens. They can lobby at conventions and plenary meetings and gather in studio corridors, trying to topple former idols while lashing out at today’s vassals. None of this will help revive Ukrainian cinematography whose glorious achievements — the films of Alexander Dovzhenko, Serhii Paradzhanov, Ihor Savchenko, Unfinished Ukrainization: the roots of an historical drama The Ukrainian public is generally unaware of an important date that was marked in April 2008: the 85th anniversary of the launch of the policy known as Ukrainization. Its genesis is connected to the resolution passed by the XII Congress of the Russian Communist Party (Bolsheviks) on April 17-23, 1923, on so-called indigenization. This act was preceded by resolutions that were passed at the VII Conference of the Communist Party (Bolsheviks) of Ukraine on April 4-10, 1923, which stressed the need for How Ivan Franko lived and died Ivan Franko died on May 28, 1916. If you know this, you are one of the few people in Ukraine who do. Franko is not unfamiliar to Ukrainians. But are we aware of the true magnitude of this writer? Do we understand Franko’s mission in life? During the years of independence have we reconsidered his role in the formation of the Ukrainian nation? Did we perhaps offend the dignity of the leader of Ukrainian intellectuals in the late 19th and early 20 century simply by calling him the “stonecutter”? Ukrainian Music in the park The 11th International Festival “Musical Summer Nights in Kyiv” has opened in Central Park near Mariinsky Palace, attracting music lovers who regularly come on their days off to listen to leading performers and talented young musicians. One of the most picturesque places in Kyiv, Central Park was created in the 18th century, and the summer concerts were launched in the last century.

TIME OUT

The magic of Malevich Even avant-garde buffs are puzzled when they see Kazimir Malevich’s Black Square . What message did the artist want to convey? Nature is green, the sun is red, the moon is yellow, and outer space is violet. But why a black square — does it signify pitch darkness, the black holes of the universe? Or is the black color the source of eternal light? “Lust” with a bit of humor Since 2000 the Artgila Art Clay and Ceramics Festival has been held in a small town in southern France near the Spanish border with the phonetically difficult and romantic name of Roumazieres- Loubert. The soil in this region located 600 km south of Paris consists of clay, which prevents the local people from farming the land. But it is ideal for making tiles, and the town has a factory that produces ceramic tiles for practically all the roofs in France. The town is also known for its decorative A salad of painting and architecture It is not enough to be a good artist or a talented architect to participate in the Architectural Suite exhibit. The participants see both things as their vocation: educated as architects, they devote all their spare time to painting, photography, or sculpture. They display their creations at the annual Architectural Suite exhibit, the latest of which was held at the National Sophia of Kyiv Museum Complex.	“Lust” with a bit of humor A salad of painting and architecture
