TITLE PAGE

The president’s last speech Until recently Yulia Tymoshenko was in the center of public attention, considering that she offered no comment on the results of the 2010 presidential election for almost a week. Despite the recognition of the presidential campaign as a democratic and transparent one by international and domestic observers, Tymoshenko declared she would keep campaigning for as long as it took. Even though she kept a rather long information and campaign pause, the incumbent head of state, Viktor Yushchenko, took the Parajanov, known and unknown As a Georgian-born Armenian who “served a sentence in a Soviet prison for Ukrainian nationalism,” Sergei Parajanov took his vengeance on Ukraine “with his love.” He passed away 20 years ago, but his “revenge” still lives on. The master’s oeuvre continues to be studied in schools and universities. People publish memoirs and monographs, shoot documentaries and hold exhibits about the great film director. Israel will introduce a visa waiver regime for Ukrainians Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has commissioned the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to start negotiations with Ukraine concerning technical and judiciary aspects of a visa waiver regime. The Israeli government has considered the question of a visa waiver regime between Ukraine and Israel at the initiative of the leaders of the party Yisrael Beitenu (Israel is Our Home), the Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman and the Tourism Minister Stas Misezhnikov. “This decision is in Israel’s national Thought is what really matters It would be wrong to say that Ukrainian television is hopeless. From time to time, it produces something worthwhile out of its maze of channels – but this is strictly regimented and mostly shown at nighttime. A classical example is the program Document on the 1+1 channel, hosted by Larysa Denysenko and Anatolii Yerema and attended by artists and academics, which goes on the air at midnight on weekdays. Even that is something: until recently, Document kept a very low profile indeed – it was broadcast This day in history 1918: Local history museum is founded in Cherkasy.

DAY AFTER DAY

Waiting for “reload” The reason for the meeting was a professional holiday – The Day of Russian Diplomatic Service. There were many guests (fellow diplomats, accredited in Ukraine, politicians, businessmen, lawmakers, and cultural and media representatives), as the soiree was the first official reception of the new Ambassador of Russia Mikhail Zurabov. However, the host was absent from the event (as the embassy workers explained, “Zurabov was urgently called to Moscow”). It seems that the ambassador decided to wait until German-Polish workshop on competitiveness From now on Ukraine will have better chances of attracting direct foreign investments. At least, representation of the Ukrainian government and the European Union are convinced in this. Kyiv recently hosted the official launch of the EU Twinning project “Enhancing performance of InvestUkraine: Ukrainian Center for Foreign Investment Promotion in line with best European practices.” Order for Vechornytsi Ambassador of France to Ukraine Jacques Faure presented Oleh Skrypka with the honorary Ordre des Palmes Academiques which was founded by Emperor Napoleon I in 1808. This order is given to educators as well as to those who have made major contributions to education and to the expansion of French culture in the rest of the world. The list of those who receive this order is approved by the prime minister of France. EVENT Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi stated that his country welcomes immigrants, but only if they are beautiful girls, as reported by France Presse. The head of Italian government declared this at his meeting with the Prime Minister of Albania dedicated to illegal migration. The Italian opposition immediately responded to Berlusconi’s playful statement. Opposition press secretary Paola Pellegrini stated, “Berlusconi has again stooped to vulgar jokes.

NOTA BENE!

My beloved unhappy mother a murderer? ODESA — “Tomochka, do you remember anything from your past, I mean that horrible famine [Holodomor] seven years ago?” my mother asked me back in 1940. Last trial over “Nazi criminal” The trial in Munich over John Demjanjuk (born Ivan Demianiuk in Ukraine), who was stripped of US citizenship and charged with complicity in the murder of 29,000 Jews in Nazi extermination camps, made no headlines because the scenario was generally known even before the trial began, when the general public learned that two surviving Sobibor eyewitnesses — Blatt and Bialowitz — failed to identify Demjanjuk as one of the concentration camp's guards.

EDUCATION

10 or 12? Parents can often be heard complaining that their children find it difficult to study at school: there is a host of subjects, every year brings changes, the curriculum is too difficult, and you have to go to school for 12 years to boot. It was 10 or 11 earlier, and that was good. On the one hand, it is easy to understand parents’ concern. On the other hand the 12-year system of secondary education was introduced precisely not to overload children but rather to help them choose a future profession Ukraine’s Ostroh and Kyiv-Mohyla Academies refuse to take part in Top 200 Project For three years running experts at UNESCO’s Chair in Technical Higher Education, Applied Systems Analysis and Informatics [established in 1999 at the National Technical University of Ukraine “Kyiv Polytechnic Institute” (NTUU “KPI”)] have been maintaining the “Top 200 Ukraine” list of this country’s most prestigious universities, whose updated rankings can regularly be found in the weekly Dzerkalo tyzhnia. Their findings have caused strong emotions in Ukrainian academic quarters, not because of the Ukrainian universities lack world-academic reputation Universities have been ranked according to established methodologies for over a quarter of a century (the first such rankings were presented in the US News & World Report I 1983). The past few years have witnessed increased activity in the field. Hundreds of research papers have been printed, PhD theses defended, and prestigious international conferences held on the topic. Unfortunately, Ukrainian academia, university lecturers and administrators, often have no or limited knowledge about world university A cultural pause For the first time since independence students of higher educational establishments will be able to study the history of Ukrainian culture. Although the curriculum has already been developed, it is still waiting, for six months already, for approval. Ukraine’s Ministry of Education and Science has yet to issue a final decision. They have assured that the program will be approved at the March gathering, and that next year’s second-year students will be able to attend the 72-hour course and will have	Ukraine’s Ostroh and Kyiv-Mohyla Academies refuse to take part in Top 200 Project Ukrainian universities lack world-academic reputation A cultural pause

CULTURE

Serhii BRATKOV: Art allows an artist to transcend his own humanity Born in 1960, Serhii Bratkov graduated from a local arts school and Polytechnical Institute. He is a co-founder (together with Borys Mykhailov and Serhii Solonsky) of the art group, The Flying Squad. Avant-garde embroidery Ukrainian avant-garde is scattered over the world. The works of the artists representing this genre have largely “settled” in foreign museum collections, private collections, or were unmercifully destroyed. Work aimed at reproducing those masterpieces and bringing them back to Ukraine requires a great deal of commitment. The exhibit called Revived Masterpieces held in the Museum of Ukrainian Folk Decorative Art features original items – pictures executed using various embroidering techniques by Ukrainian	Avant-garde embroidery

TRAVEL

Concerto for sakura and uniform Paradoxically enough, the US capital is the best known and, at the same time, most enigmatic city among the other American megalopolises. For some, Washington, D.C. is the hub of the world’s evil; for others, it’s the heart of the world’s power. But in any case, few will think of it as a real city, with its streets, houses, and dwellers. This is the city we’ll try to take a look at today. My interlocutor is Oles Berezhny, a translator, writer, author of the short story collection Chervony Borshch

TIME OUT

The magic of strokes The exhibit of selected graphic works from the collection of Ukraine’s National Museum of Arts lasted for a month. Den (No. 232, Dec. 22, 2009) already drew its readers’ attention to this interesting exposition. For those who have not had time to see Ukrainian graphic masterpieces of different periods, we offer to relish the pictures here, on our pages. Unsuccessful hetman The lives of historical figures who live or lived at the time of ruination cannot be easy and simple. Speaking about the epoch of the Ruin in 1657–76 we can see some convincing and illustrative examples of that. Ivan Vyhovsky, Petro Doroshenko, Ivan Briukhovetsky, Demian Mnohohrishny, and others had one thing in common: they all went a difficult path from popular fame and a sweet taste of power to popular hatred, shame, and loss of all or most of the privileges, to political defeat, and sometimes	Unsuccessful hetman
