TITLE PAGE

To the summits Quantitative parameters are important. The Ukrainian Home has held sculpture exhibits before, but they have seldom occupied most of the exhibition halls: the first two stories and the lobby. The exhibit features all the worthy Ukrainian sculptors: there are over 40 names, hundreds of works, and a broad range of styles. Needless to say, the show is given real weight by three names: Johann Georg Pinzel, Alexander Archipenko, and Auguste Rodin. On phenomena of art and necessity for changes Shevchenko prizes were ceremoniously presented to the laureates and a soiree held in commemoration of the poet’s 194th anniversary. Steven PIFER: “I don’t think Ukraine will be told “no” at the summit in Bucharest” Mr. Pifer, don’t the conclusions of the report that you presented seem contradictory to you? On the one hand, it states that Ukraine suffers from total corruption and that the state has tried too often to interfere in market relations. On the other, it says that the Ukrainian economy has grown by eight percent and that Ukraine can serve as an example of a developing democracy for other countries of the former USSR. Leaders of progress Achieving equality between men and women is more than an end in itself. It is a compulsory prerequisite for liquidating poverty, securing stable progress, and building a civil society. This is precisely why International Women’s Day 2008 was dedicated to the topic “Investing in Women and Girls.” This week in history March 12 1923: The Council of People’s Commissars of the Ukrainian SSR sends a note of protest to the governments of Great Britain, Italy, and France in connection with the annexation of Eastern Galicia by Poland.

DAY AFTER DAY

The energy of women’s unity Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko believes that women began to enter politics because governments were unable to carry out their duty of protecting their people from dangers and injustice. She made this statement in Brussels during her speech entitled “The Role of Women in Stabilizing a Dangerous World.” According to Ukraine’s prime minister, a government’s number one-duty is to protect its citizens from all dangers and injustice: “We, women, went into government precisely because we have so often A bleak diagnosis On March 7 a roundtable on Ukraine’s demographic development took place in Kyiv. During the conference two analytical reports were presented under the same title: “Ukraine’s Potential and Its Implementation.” One report was prepared by Ukraine’s economy and finance ministries and the National Bank of Ukraine, and the other was authored by the International Center for Perspective Studies. Both studies were part of the project “Socio-Economic Performance and Potential Analysis Capacity” (SEPPAC) in Kazakhstan and Ukraine: towards a new stage in their relations Relations between Kazakhstan and Ukraine are developing dynamically in an atmosphere of mutual understanding and trust. Proof of this is the growing bilateral and multilateral contacts at various levels up to the highest ones. The observance of the Year of Kazakhstan in Ukraine in 2007 and the Year of Ukraine in Kazakhstan in 2008 confirms the importance and effectiveness of bilateral cooperation and opens up new possibilities for the further development of political and business links, partnership, Ukraine plunging into the inimitable cultural environment of the Francophonie “Although La Francophonie is primarily a linguistic community, it is increasingly promoting cooperation among its members in fields that have no direct bearing on the French language, such as culture and education. It is also about developing more active economic exchanges,” said Michel Hugues Fantou, first counselor at the French Embassy in Ukraine.

CLOSEUP

Liudmyla SHEVCHENKO: It is two years now since the Golden Horseshoe program was launched in Cherkasy oblast with the aim of popularizing the region’s eight famous sites. The program also calls for social actions, such as bringing gas to neighboring villages, repairing roads, etc. Much work has been done in the birthplace of Taras Shevchenko with funds provided by the program and the Ukrainian government. “I simply wanted to find out how we will be living 20 years from now” For the benefit of those who don’t waste their Friday nights watching meaningless verbal exchanges (for some unknown reason called political debates) among a limited number of public figures on the show “Freedom with Slavik Shuster,” last Friday the program’s producers must have decided to give it new meaning by taking a risky step. They invited some gifted Ukrainian adolescents, who have already made a name for themselves in some area of expertise. Sensational find in Ternopil An important event took place recently at the Ternopil Oblast Regional History Museum. Vira Stetsko, a well-known art specialist and author of more than 200 articles and studies on Baroque sculpture, announced a sensational discovery. Researchers have located the main part of a roadside statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary designed by Johann Pinzel in 1751 and the head of a statue that once adorned the unique town hall in Buchach.	“I simply wanted to find out how we will be living 20 years from now” Sensational find in Ternopil

SOCIETY/ECONOMY

Ukraine overflowing with garbage Ukraine is more at risk from garbage than political crises. It is a monster with a thousand faces formed by the world’s leading labels and brands. To realize the scope of this problem, you don’t have to consult an ecology textbook that reads, “A huge amount of garbage has accumulated in Ukraine, some 20 billion tons of industrial and about 5 billion tons of household waste (weighing approximately one billion tons) — in other words, roughly 500 kg per capita.” All you have to do is walk outside to What are our agrarian producers scared of? Ukrainian farmers will be the first to feel the consequences of WTO membership, Ivan Tomych, president of the Association of Farmers and Private Landowners of Ukraine, told journalists. He noted that membership has certain advantages as well as significant drawbacks. It will certainly mean a better grain market. Given a clever approach to the grain issue by all government branches, Tomych believes that several years from now Ukraine will start producing between 60 and 65 million tons of grain a year. What is being cooked in the world’s “weather kitchen”? A few weeks ago the 14 members of the XII Ukrainian Antarctic expedition handed over their watch to their colleagues and with light hearts left the Academician Vernadsky Station, where they had been since March 5, 2007. They are now reporting to the scientists of the Ukrainian Antarctic Center. Station chief Viktor Tarasov said that his group accomplished their mission by 100 percent. They carried out a series of meteorological, geophysical, and biological research; installed new communication systems, New Cradle of Hope project launched A new medical center specializing in the treatment of infants has just opened in the city of Khmelnytsky. The Cradle of Hope program, part of the Viktor Pinchuk Foundation, was formed on the basis of the city’s Perinatal Center with the collaboration between this program and the city and oblast state administrations. The Khmelnytsky Perinatal Center is the region’s only medical institution that shoulders most of the deliveries in the oblast and especially complicated cases involving miscarriages	What are our agrarian producers scared of?

HISTORY AND I

Oleksii KYRYCHENKO: a leader with character In 1957 Vsevolod Holub’s book Konspektyvnyi narys istorii KP(b)U (Concise History of the CP(B)U) was published in Munich. The strength of a united nation Next year will mark the 80th anniversary of an event that made a great impact on Ukrainian history and whose reverberations still excite the imagination of many Ukrainians. Toward the end of January 1929 the Congress of Ukrainian Nationalists was held in Vienna, the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN) was founded. The OUN long ago became the symbol of the Ukrainian nation’s struggle for its own state, and this social phenomenon is still the subject of concerted attention today.

TIME OUT

Production-line fashion With every passing year, the word “industry” is becoming increasingly applicable to Ukrainian fashion. Fashionistas are beginning to be aware that glittering little stones and shocking decorations are only the tip of the iceberg. And, despite all the romanticism, fashion is also a product of factories, workshops, and sewing machines. So it was only natural that the organizing committee of Ukrainian Fashion Week, which just ended, chose the motto “From Shows to an Industry.” Otto Dix’s sadistic circus The exhibit of paintings by the prominent German artist Otto Dix was organized by the Goethe Institute. It consists of works from the 1920s, including etchings from his Der Krieg (War) series and the “critical” prints dating to the Weimar Republic. In fact, all these works are critical because his military graphics portray the ugliest and most horrible features of the First World War, whereas his peacetime paintings are incomparably more ironical — even bilious. An attempt to establish a canon? A few days ago the Ye Bookstore launched an anthology edited by the philologist Vira Aheieva, a well-known Ukrainian literary scholar and critic. The book contains the finest examples of 20th-century Ukrainian short prose, including works by Olha Kobylianska, Mykhailo Kotsiubynsky, Mykhailo Yatskiv, Vasyl Stefanyk, Mykola Khvylovy, Viktor Domontovych, Ihor Kostetsky, Hryhir Tiutiunnyk, Taras Prokhasko, and Oksana Zabuzhko. This is by no means a complete list of the brilliant authors assembled in	Otto Dix’s sadistic circus An attempt to establish a canon?
