DAY AFTER DAY

55 hours of songs Ukraine will make an attempt to hold the world’s longest ever live national song telethon in early April 2012. The National Television Company of Ukraine (NTCU) and Kyiv National University of Culture launched the Song Unites Us megaproject. The music telethon will be broadcast live on the First National TV Channel from March 31 to April 2. The organizers have already received confirmation of their application submission from the Guinness Book of Records. Nobility with fists With the retirement of such well-known boxers as Lennox Lewis and Mike Tyson the super heavyweight (over 90.7 kilograms) is experiencing a serious shortage of candidates for the championship belt. Many people took with a smile Vitali Klitschko’s words that for him the most threatening opponent in the super heavyweight division is the British boxer Derek Chisora. The latter twice had to fight Wladimir Klitschko brother but the Ukrainian boxer had to cancel both fights because of an injury. Therefore, A presentation of a worldwide famous book takes place in Kyiv The Business School of the MIM-Kyiv has held a launch of the book of world-renowned scholar, member of the Club of Rome, Gunter Pauli, The Blue Economy: 10 years – 100 innovations – 100 million jobs. Five steps toward injustice Luhansk Energy Association (LEA), run by the Russian-Ukrainian Konstantin Grishin, won a tender, February 13, gaining a 50 percent interest in Vinnytsia’s regional energy distribution company Vinnytsiaoblenerho, getting the better of VS Energy International Ukraine. LEA had offered 167.75 million hryvnias prior to the biddings, compared to the rival’s 167.8 million hryvnias, (at 167.65 million hryvnias starting price). There were five bids ending up with 176.2 million hryvnias when VS Energy International Art exhibit at Kyiv’s Chocolate House This time the Chocolate House [branch of the Russian Art Museum of Ukraine] on Shovkovychna St. in Kyiv offers a pre-auction contemporary art exhibit made up of works by internationally acclaimed and young Ukrainian painters (e.g., Anatolii Kryvolap, Vasyl Tsaholov, Roman Zhuk, Tyberii Silvashi, Petro Bevza, Pavlo Kerestei, Zinaida Likhachova). Yevhen Kuzmenko, collector and auction organizer, believes that a good art collection should boast at least 140-150 names. This art exhibit meets his standard. “Golden” gas As a rule, before another round of Ukrainian-Russian gas talks the information warfare between the participants aggravates. The end of the last week was not an exception. The Russian ambassador in Kyiv Mikhail Zurabov made public certain details of the telephone conversation between the Ukrainian president and the Russian authorities that had apparently been held on Wednesday, February 8. Zurabov communicated encouraging news: it had been decided to resume the gas talks in Moscow any day. Moreover, Crisis vs. Hellenic psychology Greece has been having a bad reputation recently. Almost every day thousands of Greeks go into the streets of the country absorbed by the economic crisis to protest against tough economy measures suggested by the government on the EU’s demand. The screens show angry Greeks breaking shop windows and setting buildings on fire. The other day in Athens the famous Attikon Cinema was burnt down… Repeat candidate Late in the evening of February 15 French President Nicolas Sarkozy announced about his intent to run in the forthcoming presidential election for the second term in the office. Presidential elections will be held in two rounds with the first one slated for April 22 and the second for May 6. In a program of TV channel TF1 he promised to the French people that if he is elected the head of the state he will initiate referendums and will reduce unemployment. The president believes that he deserves the Deja vu Ukraine has made a decision to create Common Economic Space together with Belarus, Kazakhstan, and Russia and simultaneously rejected the proposal of another EU plan (within the European Neighborhood Policy), which particularly concerned the introduction of amendments to the Ukrainian military doctrine from the perspective of European integration. Viktor Yanukovych said that Brussels humiliated Ukraine with not accepting its aspirations for membership in the European Union and therefore he refuses Self and the city BEIJING – What is the big story of our age? It depends on the day, but if we count by centuries, then surely humanity’s urbanization is a strong contender. Today, more than half of the world’s population lives in cities, compared to less than 3 percent in 1800. By 2025, China alone is expected to have 15 “mega-cities,” each with a population of at least 25 million. Are social critics right to worry about the atomized loneliness of big-city life?

TOPIC OF THE DAY

“I would consider the question of pardon” Volodymyr Zubanov is an absolutely untypical member of the Party of Regions. To start with, being the director of a factory he asked to be in the committee for spirituality (usually everybody wants to be in other committees, in the budget committee, for instance). Secondly, Zubanov can afford not to vote as Mykhailo Chechetov tells to. Finally, he has the time and inspiration to edit history books. His recent hobby is battle painting. However, we started our conversation not with art (since such Mykola NEDILKO: There can be “mopping-up” in the Gongadze case The Kyiv Court of Appeal has upheld the Pechersk District Court ruling that confirmed the legitimacy of launching a criminal case against former public security Major Mykola Melnychenko. It will be recalled that on December 26, 2011, the Pechersk Court ruled that the Prosecutor General’s Office had legitimately instituted criminal proceedings against Melnychenko in 2001. Melnychenko’s lawyers appealed against this court ruling. Mykola Melnychenko’s defense attorney Mykola NEDILKO comments on the Is there any use of the “Orange plague”? “Friends, I would like to address mainly the citizens of Ukraine. Could you help me, the citizen of Russia, decide on my attitude to the Orange Revolution in Ukraine. Now in Russia the movement against the ‘Orange infection’ or ‘Orange plague’ (called differently in different regions) is gaining strength. Is it really an infection and plague? Or did it have more positive consequences than negative ones? Could you, please, share your experience?” This is the request the user nicknamed Not Indifferent	Mykola NEDILKO: There can be “mopping-up” in the Gongadze case Is there any use of the “Orange plague”?

ECONOMY

Japanese approach Rene KANAYAMA, Chairman of the Board and Corporate Director, Japan Investment Advisory Council, has been in Ukraine for five years now. He knows this country and its problems quite well. Moreover, he said after the interview that the Ukrainian people can solve them. “The Japanese companies, which emerged on top of the world after World War II, began to diversify production as long ago as in the 1950s by placing their facilities abroad. It was at first in Germany, France, and the UK where we established

PERSONALITY

A man of lofty thought James Mace turned 60 on February 18! We are not saying “would have turned” on purpose, for those who have passed away go on living if we remember them. Larysa Ivshyna characterized the death of Mace as the demise of an Ally. It is from a professional viewpoint, while in purely human terms it means to be painfully bereaved of a person we did and do love.

CULTURE

Andrii Chebykin: “Creative work and school” The new exhibition project presented at the Modern Art Research Institute of the Ukraine’s National Academy of Arts urges to thinking, tempts to rhyme only with its name “Creative work and school.” We can certainly underline that “Creative work of Andrii Chebykin = School,” “Andrii Chebykin’s personality = Creative work.” In this unity with “school” there is a great meaning: constant interaction of creative ideas and flavor of their plastic embodiments nourish the common space of high art. Folk paintings and Mykola Hohol Every year the international jury of Hans Christian Andersen Award, which is also called “Nobel Prize for children’s literature,” presents the list of masterfully written, illustrated, and translated books for children.

TIME OUT

“Madonna”… from the oligarchs’ land On February 10, 2012 the jury of the World Press Photo announced the winners. The winner of the last year was the portrait of the Afghani girl Bibi Aisha made by the South African photographer Jodi Bieber. This photo is a frightful “document” of violence against women. The winner of this year is the photo by the Spanish Samuel Aranda from a field hospital in Yemen. The Arab revolutions and the ecological disaster in Japan were the key topics of the World Press Photo 2011. Samuel ARANDA: It is very important to tell about people’s difficult lives Samuel please tell us the story of your work from the Yemen set of photos that won first prize at this year’s World Press Photo.
