The pluses of Viktor Yushchenko’s presidency, Five years ago the Central Election Commission made public the final results of the first round of Ukraine’s presidential elections. 39.87 percent of the electorate voted for Viktor Yushchenko and 39.32 percent for Viktor Yanukovych. Ukrainian swimmer sets record, wins silver in World Cup On Nov. 10, 2009, Ihor Borysyk, the only Ukrainian representative in the third leg of the 2009 FINA Swimming World Cup in Stockholm, became the first one to win a medal for our team, UNIAN reports. He came second in the 200 m breaststroke event, setting a national record of 2:03.93. He was outmatched only by the South African Neil Versfeld with his World Cup record time of 2:02.67. Cost of concessions The economic cooperation committee of the Ukrainian-Russian Intergovernmental Commission is to have a session this Thursday in Yalta, presided over by the Ukrainian and Russian prime ministers. The main point on the agenda will be Russia’s gas supplies to Ukraine in 2010. According to Yulia Tymoshenko, “we will once again raise the matter of optimizing natural gas prices for Ukraine, and all our relationships.” Regrettably, these assurances do not sound too convincing. The confessions of a truth-seeker The BBC (www.bbc.co.uk) reports that Trinity College, Cambridge, has put on public display the diary of Gareth Jones (1905—1935), a Welsh journalist who dared to say the truth about the Holodomor horrors that he saw in the spring of 1933. Not only a top-class professional but also an honest and humane person, a Cambridge graduate who had been publishing since 1930 his USSR reports in The Times of London as “An Observer’s Notes,” Gareth Jones decided later in 1932 to find by all means the root cause This week in history Nov. 17 1993: The Ministry of Justice of Ukraine registers the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists.

DAY AFTER DAY

Forging a European Worldview WARSAW – Some complain that the European Union lacks a “worldview.” In fact, the EU’s problem is that it has too many of them. Europeans’ common experiences and interests mean that they should have a shared view on global issues. But the sad reality is that political, social, and economic pressures tend to push EU members and citizens in opposing directions; shared histories, it seems, are an insufficient basis for shared policies. Germans to teach Lvivites how to restore ancient gates German restorers have launched the second masterclass on restoration of historical entry gates in Lviv. They have organized this training within the framework of the Ukrainian-German project “Municipal Development and Restoration of the Old Part of Lviv,” Ukrinform reported. “Total control and dependent mass media” Prominent Russian journalists have been recently leaving the country with increasing frequency. Lately it has become known that Oleg PANFILOV, a professional journalist and head of the Extreme Journalism Center, has moved to live and work in Georgia. In Tbilisi Panfilov is going to host an analytical TV program on the Caucasian Channel and will also be lecturing at the Journalism Department at the Ilia Chavchavadze University. In the near future he plans to found a school of journalism and write Mazepa’s flag to go overseas for the first time On March 20, 2010, Ivan Mazepa’s birthday, the Ukrainian Museum in New York will launch the exhibit Ukraine–Sweden: At the Crossroads of History (it has been on display in the National Museum of Ukrainian History as previously reported by The Day ). The exposition, which is dedicated to one of the most dramatic periods of our history, the events of the 17th and 18th centuries, is made up of 100 rare pieces from state and private collections of the two countries. In particular, almost half of them Orgy of bigots Oleksandr Volodarsky is an action artist from Luhansk. He has a popular blog. On November 2, Volodarsky and an anonymous female partner stripped in front of the Verkhovna Rada and imitated having sex in full public view. They described this performance as one aimed at attracting attention to the actions of the National Expert Commission on Public Morals. EVENT The Konrad Adenauer Foundation and the Academy of the Ukrainian Press have launched the handbook EU in the Pocket in Kyiv. This reference book provides answers to the following questions: How is the EU working after ratification of the Lisbon Treaty? What agreements have been signed between Ukraine and the EU? What is the difference between the Council of Europe and the EU Council (a very common question)?

CLOSEUP

Firm governance needed Ukrainians have probably never been as distrustful of their government and protest sentiments have never reached such high levels as now. In early 2009, Research&Brandng Group published its sensational poll findings. As many as 80 percent of the polled Ukrainian stated they wanted firm-hand governance, while nearly one-third made it clear they were prepared to part with human freedoms to have this kind of governance. Five questions to government In 1995 the 28th session of UNESCO’s General Conference proclaimed November 16 to be the International Day for Tolerance and adopted the Declaration on the Principles of Tolerance. Since then this day has been annually marked in all the member countries. A year with Obama How fast time goes by! I can remember, as if it were yesterday — but in fact it was in October 2008 — as we, participants in the traditional 9th Ukrainian-American Roundtable, sat in an imposing hall of the US Congress Library, listening to passionate speeches of the emissaries sent by the two US presidential candidates — John McCain and Barack Obama. The new Afro-American political star was introduced by Celeste Wallander, a longtime associate of Zbigniew Brzezinski, who had accompanied her boss	Five questions to government A year with Obama

ECONOMY/SOCIETY

Risks of unfinished reforms Experts point out that the Ukrainian economy is in for yet another stormy season. The presidential election will start in less than two months. Economic growth is suspended, while the amount of investments and credits does not satisfy the appetites — all this happening while the rest of the world is expecting an economic revival next year. What steps Ukraine should take to have a firm foundation for economic growth in 2010? What steps shouldn’t be taken to avoid aggravating the situation? Below is Organic foods in vogue LVIV — Organic and genetically modified foods (also known as GMOs) have been increasingly in the media limelight. We are told we cannot eat GM foods because they have a negative effect on our immune system, brain activity, and reproductive potential. French name journalism course after Anastasia Baburova SEVASTOPOL–SIMFEROPOL — The case of Anastasia (Nastia) Baburova, a Ukrainian national, murdered in Russia, has become a symbol of profession for the French students majoring in journalism. It is also a civic stand one must learn to defend. Of course, in the Baburova case the price that had to be paid for this proved too high. This, however, stresses the role of the media and investigative journalism, especially in an unstable democracy, they say in France.

HISTORY AND I/CULTURE

Solomiia Krushelnytska Museum marks 20th anniversary Solomiia Krushelnytska Street in Lviv is long and narrow, with old stone structures stealing bashful, enviously glances at Kosciuszko Park that proudly displays its expanses up front. There is a memorial plaque by the sculptor Emmanuil Mysko attached to the facade of one such old building at 23 Krushelnytska St. It reads: “The outstanding Ukrainian singer Solomiia Krushelnytska lived here in 1903–52.” To the left, a note says that the Solomiia Krushelnytska Music Memorial Museum is on the second The Kholm icon must become a symbol of Ukraine! Dear Ms. Larysa Ivshyna, I am sorry to be writing this letter so belatedly. The quarantine has made some changes in our work and life. We would like to thank you for publishing in Den/The Day Natalia Malimon’s article on the Kholm Miraculous Icon of the Holy Virgin. We are pleased that thousands and thousands of more people in Ukraine and abroad will know about this holy object. This unique image, which has now come out of oblivion, deserves being a symbol of our people and country, a symbol of the Myths and truth The Polish government in London insisted on the revival of the second Rzeczpospolita and thus adopted an uncompromising stand with regard to the eastern border. Great Britain and the United States maintained a flexible political approach. Sir Winston Churchill explained his attitude to the territorial issues years later, saying it had to be regulated so as not to damage the unity of the British-Russian alliance.

Ukraina Incognita

Writer and prince Ivan Vyshensky is one of the most illustrious Ukrainian polemical writers. Numerous books on him have been published, and yet it would be wrong to say that all pages of his life have been sufficiently studied. This is, after all, only natural, because there is very little biographical information left about the writer. We usually draw information about him from his works.

TIME OUT

Sad kindness There is a well-known theory of music as a means of communication via expressing one’s emotions. From a philosophical standpoint, music is a self-sufficient phenomenon of human esthetic interaction with the world. This and other applications of music as a form of art were the subject of my talk with Dmytro Ostroushko, the leader of what I believe is Kyiv’s most positive band Shchastia (Happiness). Kyiv to host Balkanfest in early December Balkanfest, a large-scale music festival, will take place in the Kyiv Palace of Sports on December 4–5. A grand cohort of unique bands will perform during the fest, including Gogol Bordello (USA), K.A.L (Serbia), Emir Kusturica & The No Smoking Orchestra (Serbia), Fanfare Ciocarlia (Romania), and Kocani Orkestar (Macedonia). Haidamaky, one of the fest’s organizers, will be the only Ukrainian band to participate in the event. Theater at nib All the paintings in this exhibition, which is organized by the Liu Haisu Art Museum on the Chinese side and by the A-HOUSE Gallery on the Ukrainian side, are devoted to the one of the most famous Oriental arts — Chinese opera. The paintings are part of the Liu Haisu Art Museum collection. Chinese opera is a synthetic art par excellence. It is even more about dialogues, dancing, and acrobatic moves than singing. Law for steppe Over the recent decades the steppe acreage in Ukraine dropped from 20 to 3 percent of the country’s total area. Ecologists attribute this fact to massive afforestation. Environmental NGOs drafted the presidential decree “On the Protection and Comprehensive Use of the Steppes in Ukraine.” It will become the first European legislative document on the conservation of the steppe. At present, the draft law is being examined by the Ministry for Environmental Protection; in a month it will be submitted	Kyiv to host Balkanfest in early December Theater at nib Law for steppe
