TITLE PAGE

Belated triumph of Holodomor victims The European Union is founded on reconciliation, the belief that we can create a better future by acknowledging our past in all its brutality. Germany has justly acknowledged and is trying to atone for the indescribable atrocities of the Nazi era and the Holocaust. Greece, Spain, and Portugal peacefully turned their back on their right-wing dictatorial regimes and met their future as democratic countries within the EU. The newer EU member states are seeking their own paths to truth and reconciliation A new day always comes The specter of the world financial crisis has paid a visit to Europe. However, some time was needed for the European governments to acknowledge it. When the crisis exploded in the US, few people in the Old World were worried; silence reigned here. This situation lasted until the full force of the explosive wave reached the shores of Europe, where huge international banks are going bankrupt, stock markets are plunging rapidly, and international capital is being withdrawn from the markets. The truth prevails With its vote this authoritative legislative body, comprising 785 parliamentarians from 27 EU member states, has joined the circle of countries and international organizations that have already recognized the 1932-1933 Holodomor in Ukraine. The joint resolution was agreed upon by members of the European People’s Party, a group of liberals, the Greens, the Union for Europe of the Nations, and the socialists. Ukraine’s idling parliament There is a glimmer of a hope that Ukraine’s MPs will finally figure out the crisis and the elections on Tuesday. A parliamentary task force is supposed to draw up a single bill on minimizing the impact of the global financial crisis on the Ukrainian economy instead of the previously proposed six bills. This week in history Oct. 28 2001: President Leonid Kuchma of Ukraine meets his counterpart Boris Trajkovski of Macedonia in the Crimea, where both leaders agree to renew military and technological cooperation.

DAY AFTER DAY

The Chernomyrdin saga The premiere of the documentary film, The Extraordinary Chernomyrdin, was screened at the Molodist International Film Festival, which was attended by the film’s main character, Russia’s Ambassador to Ukraine Viktor Chernomyrdin. Exhibit of contemporary Ukrainian art at the UN Office at Geneva GENEVA — From Oct. 2 to 16 the Palais des Nations at the United Nations Office at Geneva (UNOG) hosted a Ukrainian art exhibit featuring works by the painter Petro Lebedynets, sculptor Volodymyr Ivanov, and photographer Slava Krik. Recognition and advances The 60th Frankfurt Book Fair has beaten all previous records. This year’s fair was attended by representatives of 101 countries and 280,000 visitors — tickets were sold at €12, a largely symbolic price for Europe — and featured 270 events. A total of 390,000 books-the highest number to date-was presented at the fair. Printed books made up a little over 40 percent, while nearly 30 percent of all exhibits were examples of new technology. Window of possibility Ukraine’s chances of getting the NATO Membership Action Plan (MAP) this December are slim. But it still has a chance to get it at NATO’s 60th jubilee summit that will be held in Germany and France in April 2009. This conclusion was reached by a group of Ukrainian experts, who have just completed the third stage of a project called “Public Support for Granting the MAP to Ukraine” in Berlin. Sleepwalking in the Balkans Sarajevo — Almost exactly 13 years ago, American leadership brought an end to Bosnia’s three-and-a-half-year war through The Dayton peace agreement. Today that country is now in real danger of collapse. As in 1995, resolve and transatlantic unity are needed if we are not to sleepwalk into another crisis. Swiss economic forum in Kyiv What is the purpose of the Swiss forum in Kyiv, and why did you decide to represent only two cantons — Geneva and Vaud? Ukrainians are the best! This year Ukrainian singers won most of the awards at the prestigious Borys Hmyria International Vocal Competition, with the Grand Prix awarded to the original young vocalist Olena Tokar. She is only 21 and studies at the National Music Academy of Ukraine (class of Z. Buzyna). Ukrainian photojournalist finds things in common between Hutsuls and Africans The Kyiv-based Ya Gallery recently showcased the works of Ukrainian photographer Oleksandr Klymenko, who is a regular participant and prizewinner of The Day‘s photo competitions. The exhibit, part of an art project called “Demonstration,” mostly featured the photographs from his well-known series called “Wild, Wild West,” which was first shown during the Lviv Book Fair this year. The photographer won the right to participate in Ya Gallery’s project as a prizewinner of The Day‘s 10th photo compet Get to know Ukraine! Not all Ukrainians are aware of the fact that Kyiv’s Memorial Museum of World War II is one of the world’s three tallest sculptural compositions and that Europe’s largest cave, called Optymistychna, is located in Ternopil region. Kyiv schoolchildren to produce drawings of the Holodomor In November, a Holodomor drawing contest for children in grades 6 through 11 gets underway. The initiator of the contest is the Main Administration for Education and Science at the Kyiv City State Administration (KMDA). The competition will consist of several stages and will be held in all schools of the Ukrainian capital. The best works will be selected for an exhibition scheduled for Nov. 18 at the Children and Youth Palace in Kyiv.

CLOSEUP

Ihor PASICHNYK: “I am simply a rector” Everyone who has visited Ostroh Academy National University at least once in the past decade associates the revival of this famous university with the name of its rector Ihor Pasichnyk. Having undertaken the difficult mission to revive the first educational institution in all of Eastern Europe, over the past 15 years Dr. Pasichnyk has managed to turn a half-destroyed building into an up-to-date university and fill its life with modern content. The struggle against corruption in urban planning Ukrainians are no longer shocked by the frequent conflicts that arise from illegal construction projects. Roughly 10 percent of all articles that appear in newspapers and Internet publications are devoted to scandals involving corruption in the urban planning sphere. Territorial communities clash with urban developers and the latter with the authorities. No one is prepared to meet anyone halfway. “Ukrainian politics is like a communal apartment where the tenants are constantly arguing over a frying pan” Dr. Popovych, what are the causes of the disorder in Ukraine?

SOCIETY

Every third Ukrainian with a college degree is unemployed A completed education does not always mean that a graduate is a truly educated individual. This is true of all levels of education in Ukraine: secondary, technical/vocational, and higher education, even though 50 percent of young people have such diplomas in Ukraine. “Inconvenient” children Every teacher or educator who has ever worked in a kindergarten or school for a few years has encountered children who could be dubbed “Dennis the Menace.” They are lively, restless, extremely energetic, imaginative, and very impulsive, and they often create havoc in classrooms. While they are small, they are fun, but if their behavior does not change as they grow older, they become a problem for the people around them — parents, friends, teachers, and adults in general. They spell an end to everyone’s	“Inconvenient” children

CULTURE

Special theaters for special children There is a hubbub in the corridor of the building that houses the theater: boys and girls are putting on their slippers and going into the reception room. Spotting me at the entrance, they greeted me politely and invited me to follow them. A few minutes later, the Parostky Theater began its dress rehearsal of the mini-play The Colorful Dreams of a Hedgehog in the Fog, based on a fairy tale by Serhii Kozlov. Ambitious festival The Berdiansk International Film Festival is called Bryhantyna (The Brigantine). Today the organizers of the festival, founded in 1998, have decided to build a film studio. During a recent news conference in this coastal city the festival organizers discussed their yearly film fest and other projects.	Ambitious festival

HISTORY AND I

Warsaw melody This is a truly unusual book. There is a great deal of public interest in the Holodomor in Ukraine. Poland is also interested in this subject. Polish literature on the subject is considerably smaller in scope than Ukraine’s. Although Polish studies dealing with the period of collectivization in Ukraine were published even before the Second World War, owing to well-known circumstances researchers in Poland were able to begin studying the Holodomor only after 1989. The Cossack Palestine The Samara St. Nicholas’s Monastery occupies a special place among Ukraine’s monastic residences. The history of this bastion of Orthodoxy is inseparably linked with that of the Zaporozhian Sich. According to Dmytro Yavornytsky, the historian of the Zaporozhian Cossacks, it was here that the first church and monastery school were built below the rapids of the Dnipro River. Many well-known priests were educated there, and for a long time Cossack regalia were stored at the monastery, which also served Ukrainian emigre archives Tempora Publishers of Kyiv, which is rightly called the Atlas that supports Ukrainian culture, recently issued an important publication, a monograph by Maryna Paliienko, entitled Archival Centers of the Ukrainian Emigration (The Creation, Functioning, and Fate of Document Collections).

TIME OUT

Portugal is hospitable Like other people, soccer players have both “lucky” and “unlucky” cities, and even countries. Until recently, Portugal was an unlucky country for the Dynamo players. They have come there three times in different periods, and each time they were defeated. They lost to Porto in 1987 in the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League, to Benfica in 1991, and to Boavista in 2001 in the Champions League Group Stage. The Soviet national team of 1983 and the Ukrainian national team of 1996, which consisted The two colors of Kvitka Cisyk Her rare soprano made all of North America shiver with delight. Her title song from the Hollywood film You Light Up My Life won the Best Song Oscar in 1977. Kvitka (her name means “flower” in Ukrainian) Cisyk recorded her two albums Kvitka, Songs of Ukraine and Kvitka, Two Colors at the same studio where such outstanding performers as Placido Domingo, Madonna, Lenny Kravitz, Miles Davis, Frank Sinatra, Diana Ross, Duran Duran, Billy Joel, Henry Mancini, and Pink worked their magic. Unique forest museum opens in Volyn oblast The Volyn Forest Museum has opened in the Lopaten forest tract in Kivertsi raion. According to Ukrinform, the initiative to launch the museum came from Bohdan Kolisnyk, the head of the regional forestry and hunting department. The museum occupies two rooms on the first floor of a good-sized two-storey building. The exhibits reconstruct the fascinating story of forestry and hunting in Volyn from the princely era of Kyivan Rus’ until the present day. They also highlight the devoted work of employees	The two colors of Kvitka Cisyk Unique forest museum opens in Volyn oblast
