Boxer Oleksandr Usyk can safely be called the face of Ukrainian sports. He is recognizable, popular, and very successful. His name is well known not only among sports fans, but also among people far from his country, especially women.

In amateur boxing, he won all possible trophies: European Championships and World and Olympic Games. Almost a year ago Usyk moved on to professional boxing. He signed an agreement with the Klitschko brothers’ company K2 Promotions. Immediately boxing evenings attracted more people than ever; K2 Promotions has never staged such events. Usyk’s secret of success is not only his skills (there are many talented boxers in Ukraine). Oleksandr has inherent artistry. The audience fell in love with him for his performance of the hopak (a Ukrainian traditional dance) in the ring, the oseledets (forelock) on his head, and his sense of humor. Cameras and a large crowd do not intimidate the boxer; on the contrary, they elevate his mood and energize him.

Today Oleksandr Usyk is a guest of Bulba NEWS.

Usyk: To Survive, I Sold Ice Cream and Apricots, I Grazed Cattle On His Background in Sports As a child, I did some wrestling, hand-to-hand combat, karate... But without fanaticism. For example, at karate we would do push-ups, squats, sometimes learned some simple techniques. However, the coach was not very interested in the group of teenagers. I also played soccer, played for Tavria from Simferopol, and I did pretty well. I was never a benchwarmer, I was always a starter. Soccer demanded some very serious expenses. And two or three hundred hryvnias was a substantial amount for my parents. Boxing was simpler, more sociable. The coach gave me his gloves, his wife sewed them into the right form. The only thing that my mom spent money on was a travel ticket. When at age fifteen I started to box, immediately I liked it. It was better to burn off energy inside than outside. I remember the first lesson – immediately we sparred...! What does a young man need at this age? To be able to stand up himself, to protect his girl!... And here the coach described to us the prospects – almost a fairy tale. He taught us to feel victorious.

I don’t regret that I stopped playing soccer. In general, I don’t regret anything that I ever did. If I could turn back time, I would do everything the same. Everything that happens to us is not accidental.

On His First Jobs I sold ice cream, I sold apricots, I sold peaches, I worked on a farm, I grazed cattle. I am not ashamed of this, because everything I did, I did in order to survive. I wanted to help my family and that’s normal. It’s a shame not work.

Work is normal.

Unrealized Dreams Actually, I wanted to join the theater, but when I started boxing, I didn’t have the time for it. I’ve always liked acting and I think that I would be good at it... People ask – if not boxing, then what? Well, who knows what...something – I would not be lost.

On Boxing I don’t care where I box – at home or abroad. The main thing is to do it. When you enter the ring in your native country, even the walls stand behind you. When you compete somewhere abroad, you still want to bring home the victory, so that people are happy for the champion. Boxing is not a cruel sport. Absolutely. There is simply nothing personal. It is about defining the relationship between two men. In fact, maybe someone will say that it’s cruel, but it is certainly not about me. Moreover, even my mother watches boxing.

I never fought outside. Do you know why? Because I know in advance that I will win. So I

don’t join the fight, but wear out my opponent from running (laughs). Fighting on the street is a great folly.

On the Possibility of Changing His Citizenship I had many opportunities to change my citizenship and serve under the flag of another country. Certainly, if I were to consent it would immediately bring me great financial benefits. But money is not happiness. If God gives me health, I will have everything, I will earn enough for myself, and for this it is not necessary that I leave my country. You know, when I go abroad, I get a feeling of discomfort. As soon as I return home, stand on Ukrainian land, immediately I feel better. Unfortunately, many people do not understand this.

On Success Victories and championship titles do not change me. Rather, I gain experience. I have became more cautious, psychologically fitter. For me, it still makes no difference which ring I am in. I always give my 100%, show what my coach taught me, defend my personal dignity. And that means my team, my country.

Regarding attitudes toward people... one time after the world championship when I was with my mother in the car, we were stopped by the traffic police.

The officer looked at the documents, asked for something, then let us go and wished us a safe journey. Jokingly I said to my mother: “Is he crazy? Why did he stop us? Didn’t he see a ‘star’ at the wheel?” We laughed, and then my mother said: most of all I worried that the fame would go to your head. Praise God that in my soul I remain the way I was. At least, that’s what I think and what I want... I think it is so, because my mother knows better.

On the Hopak and Oseledets My herring is not just for show. If it was just for show, then it would no longer be on my head.

I was born i n Ukraine, I live here, and I am proud of my country. This is how I express my love

for my fatherland. Everyone should do this. I will keep my oseledets. Regarding hopak in the ring, if I dance very often, people will get tired of it. I will perform it only on special occassions. Wait a little – the hopak will happen.

I have been dancing since childhood. I did folk dancing and ballroom dancing. I can even do breakdancing. I love music. When I hear it, something changes in me, something incredible happens in my soul.

On Pesky Journalists There are journalists to whom under no circumstances will I give an interview, because I already know how some of them are... For example, they call me and tell me to immediately come to their studio. I explain to them that I am at a meeting, away in the mountains, almost a hundred kilometers away.

But I agree to answer any questions they may have.

But they only know their way! They persistently repeat: “You cannot take off even one just one day?

You already so famous!”... I hold the phone and understand: they don’t need Sasha Usyk as a man, as a person. Ostensibly they are concerned about the work, but if you read between the lines, you see that they just want to use you, a champion, as a backdrop for something.

This kind of journalist does not care if I am getting ready for the Olympic games, or if tomorrow I will defend the honor of my country. Others do not call, but come before the competition directly to the training room and begin asking supposedly “smart” questions. For example, how many medals I expect.

How silly!.. As far as I know my friends – none of them try to predict the outcome. We are not a boxing firm of predictions, and we are not betting odds.

Of course, I try to keep clear of these journalists.

But I know many others. Honest and professional ones. I seek them out, I learn from them, they are able to see the phenomenon behind the events, facts, cases...

Usyk Writes Poems and Raps I don’t have anything new right now. Should I recite something old? I have recited this poem before.

It is called “Karapulechka.”

The kozak spirit is in our hearts We carry love for our friends and relatives And we hurt those who we love more than life Dear ones, forgive us for our actions And don’t stay angry at us.

For in life we are together with you, Our support is heaven.

Dmytro Sosnovsky, head coach of the national team of Ukraine (under his leadership Usyk achieved all his success in amateur boxing): Oleksandr was one of the strongest amateurs in the boxing world. He won almost all the top competitions – he won the European and World Championships, and Olympic Games. Now he has set himself new challenges in professional boxing. His skill and charisma, I am sure, will delight the audience for a very long time. We will all keep our fingers crossed that soon the anthem of Ukraine will be heard all over the world and that Oleksandr boxes for the world title. I am sure that he is capable of it.

Besides the fact that Sasha is a talented athlete, he is a patriot of his land, a great family man, and a deeply religious man. As a child, Sasha did not believe in God. But one day he abruptly changed his belief. Once in his native village in the Chernihiv regions, some boys made a fire and were jumping through it.

The longer they jumped, the higher the fire rose. Sasha recounts: “I saw two boys before they jump stand aside and whisper something unintelligible. When I asked what they were doing, they told me: ‘We are praying to God so that he will help us jump over the fire.’”

Usyk laughed at them: “God, you don’t exist! Want me to prove it to you? Right now without your help I will jump over this fire!”

He began to run, but before he jumped he twisted his ankle and fell into the fire. When the boys put out the fire from Sasha, Sasha fell to his knees and prayed for the first time, asked for forgiveness for the stupid things that he said.

Oksana Karavanska:

‘If a Woman Has a High-Powered Position, She Should Not Dress Like a Man’ When the future world-renown Ukrainian designer Oksana Karavanska was in kindergarten, already her peers turned to her for pictures of princesses. And when she was in 10th grade she found herself in the studio of a teacher from Lviv Academy of Arts. There she suddenly realized that the art students’ work was very similar to her doodles. Soon afterward Oksana enrolled in the fashion design program at the artacademy. During her first year she met the fashion guru Slava Zaytsev. Her first major show after graduation took place in Tallinn, where she shook hands with the celebrity Paco Rabanne. Ultimately, Karavanska became a finalist at Alta-Moda, the chair of the jury which was Pierre Cardin. Her work has been shown in the USA, Canada, Italy, France... The list of the achievements of one of the most prominent Ukrainian designers can go on and on. But it is much better to talk to Oksana Karanavksa tete-a-tete and try to get a glimpse into her world.

– Oksana, you have persistently been called an “ethno-designer” and as far as I know, you have been fighting against this label...

– Yes, I’ve been fighting it all my creative life. I have three versions of the appearance of the label “ethno-designer.” First, because I speak only Ukrainian. The second, nearly 100 percent of my showings are accompanied by music by Ukrainian musicians and composers. And the third,all of my collections are inspired by Ukraine – its past or present. And much less the prefix “ethno”applies to the clothing from OksanaKaravanska, especially the elements of embroidery, etc. After all, if it comes to that, cross-stitch originated not in Ukraine but in France. Somehow, Dolce and Gabbana, who have cross-stitch in almost all of their collections are never called ethnodesigners (smiles). Once in protest against the label “ethno-designer” I created a collection dedicated to Ukrainian avant-garde artists, including KazymyrMalevych. It was totally avant-garde, but it was re-dubbed “ethnic”...

– At the end of March this year you became the first Ukrainian designer whose work made it to the catwalk of the prestigious New York The National Arts Club. In late September you once again head over seas, with a new collection. What does the American elite think of your work?

– It’s one thing when the Ukrainian diaspora cries in response to your collection (this happened more than once during my career), and quite another when you get a standing ovation from Americans who have seen fashion in all its forms. My show in New York was attended by buyers representing hip fashion shops and boutiques. They said that the Ukrainian ethno motifs I purposely wove into this collection were fit into the context of a contemporary collection.

– Clothing from Oksana can be found in which countries?

– In many, but mostly this is due to our online shop. When I had a boutique in Kyiv, on Khreshchatyk Street(we closed in 2009 because of the financial crisis), 50 percent of its customers were foreigners. As for the European market, it is almost impossible to enter it. We repeatedly calculated

the economic feasibility of such a move, and every time we came to the conclusion that it was not worth the risk. To market any brand in Europe, a huge investment is needed. And an investment is always a risk. Before the crisis of 2008 I had a potential investor in the EU, but then the economic situation changed dramatically...

– In Ukraine, you have two studios that simultaneously function as showrooms – in Kyiv and Lviv. Is there a difference between your Kyiv and Lvivcustomer?

– Long ago I realized that I don’t have Kyiv or Lviv customers – only Oksana’s customers. They are united by their trust in me as a designer and by their love of my clothes.

– Describe your average customer...

– “Average” is my least favorite word.

I remember in my fourth year of the Lviv Art Academy we had to design clothing for a mass production factory. When the teachers saw my sketches, they asked: “And you think that theaverage Soviet woman will dress in this?!” Perhaps then I realized that I would never design clothes for the “average” citizen. All my customers (and they are mostly women, men make up only about five percent) are independent, socially active, not afraid something new and flamboyant.

– Among your customers are many artists: members of the cappella musical formation

interview | 5

Pikkardiyska Tertsia, the singer Oksana Bilozir, singers Oleksandr Ponomarov and Pavlo Tabakov, showman Serhiy Prytula...

– My principle is to create an image for a person (famous or not famous). If I receive a request it means they must trust me as a professional. I never try to break anyone. On the contrary, I emphasize their individuality.

– Where does and who dresses Oksana Karavanska?

– Preferably I myself. And there are several reasons for this. First, I do not like shopping: I have enough clothes around me. The only shopping which I can do from morning to night is shoe shopping. Secondly, I am a demanding customer who almost never goes to fittings (laughs). But I have an advantage: I can take clothes from a mannequin and dress in them. Or spend a few days complaining to seamstresses: “Well, sew me something ...

I do not have any blouses or jackets...”

– And how does someone get a sense of taste?

– It’s an innate trait: either one has taste or he doesn’t. Of course, one can learn fashion. But then you stupidly follow the rules: what to wear with what, what should not be worn together. We’re talking about an internal sense of taste. Remember once in England there was the concept of a “dandy.” These men stood out from others because they didn’t dress like everyone else. They relied on their taste, which they had from birth.

– Among women from the political sphere, whose personal style is worthmentioning?

– Once there was an undeniable icon of style – Margaret Thatcher. And now, to single out someone as bright as her is difficult. The former first lady of France Carla Bruni hadchic personal style. Michelle Obama? Personally I am not very impressed with her style. But it’s a big plus that most of the clothes she wears is from American designers. Angela Merkel? I will say this: if a woman has a high-powered position, she should not dress like a man. She remains a woman! Unfortunately, Merkel has forgotten this... Or maybe she’s just one of those women who doesn’t feel feminine?

– During the 23 years of Ukrainian independence Ukrainian fashion has not become an industry. Not many Ukrainians are able to wear dresses from Oksana Karavanska, T-shirts from Andre Tan, jeans from Lilia Litkovska...

– For me it’s also a great mystery. Six years ago, I thought that Ukrainian fashion was about to become an industry. My husband Bohdan (he is the main financier of my fashion business) even ordered a special study from Western marketers. It was a perfect guide, which described step by step how to promotethe mass production of the clothing. I read it all and one thing was clear: in a country like Ukraine, this ideal scheme will not work...

The paradox is that the Ukrainian consumer does not believe in clothing made in Ukraine. Instead, our consumers have more faith in rags that are made in Italy, Spain, the United States, or even China, thananything made in Ukraine... This is my biggest disappointment.

– This is our inferiority complex? Пятницкая – Unfortunately, г.Москва, yes... ул.And also14 our, Ukrainian, тел.: 8 (915) 222-15-18 (495) 953-7153, 951-3760 zhlobstvo(unculturedness). For Armani jeans, made in a factory in China, Ukrainians do not hesitate to dish out 380 euros. And that’s fine. And for jeans from Oksana Karavanska, which have authentic embroidery and of which there are only four or five pairs, no one will pay more than $150. And yet they will complain: “Why are they so expensive?” This is our distorted consciousness. And this applies not only to clothing and to all other products. Is this why our women go to Italy to wipe the asses of Italian pensioners? And in Kyiv for this money one cannot even find a normal nanny for one’s child!

– Ukrainians cannot www.tarasbulba.ru always easily find clothing from Ukrainian designers. Instead, there is another competitor – second-hand clothing...

– Despite all my dislike and aversion to second-hand, it is better to dress in it than in that terrible Chinese junk that is sold in our bazaars and shops. In second-hand shops at least one can find something interesting and original. Unfortunately, there are many Ukrainians who dress inthe tasteless clothing that is sold in the bazaars. This means one thing: there is a demand for such clothing...

BERLIN 2014 or WE’LL ALWAYS HAVE BERLIN A few days ago my friend invited me over to watch a soccer game – a semi-final of the World Cup in Brazil. I’m not much of a fan, but I accepted the invitation. Watching soccer in Italy alongside Italians is a special experience, even if it’s on TV. But that was not the only reason I agreed to go. Three days prior to that I had returned from a business trip in Berlin.

The semi-final game was between Germany and Brazil. I suddenly started missing Berlin and my German friends, and so I went to watch soccer – of which I saw plenty in Germany.

Travel Diary of the Founder In Berlin I was greeted with rain and cold weather. It often rains in the afternoon there. The entire city lives by soccer and the World Cup. Head rests in taxis and seat covers are made to resemble the tricolor flag. There are flags on every other car.

Even the stars on car hoods are wearing tricolor flags.

A huge fan-zone was organized in front of the Brandenburg Gate. Everyone watched football on big screens. The biggest one was perched on the gate itself. A few meters behind is a monument to the Soviet Army, which triumphed over fascism. We lost 400,000 soldiers in the Berlin operation. Later, in the 1990s we lost Berlin, GDR, Eastern Europe, and the USSR. I feel sorry for all of this. I feel sorry for the two years, from 1984 to 1986, that I spent in Berlin guarding the wall.

The Reichstag has been rebuilt. It is surrounded by glass and concrete buildings. The government, the parliament are something else. The kindergarten for the MPs’ children is huge and modern. Looks like German MPs have many children, while the Russian ones don’t. At least, our Duma has no kindergarten or nursery. But then, what kind of politician or a businessman would send their kinds to a kindergarten? Or even less credible: who would think of taking a subway or biking to work? In our country half of the population works as nannies, drivers, and cleaners. And for safety, there are nannies for big, and probably stupid, children.

After the spring campaign only the Swiss embassy survived undamaged of all the old buildings. How did this happen? All buildings were leveled with the ground, how did Switzerland manage to stand? Did they pay for it again?

Reichstag has been refurbished, and now they allow tours in the dome. All shell and bullet holes have been carefully filled. Everything flows, nothing stays. Everyone forgets everything. The Berlin wall fell down, the Berlin synagogue rose up again and it’s now guarded by German policemen.

Their grandfathers, probably, herded the Jewish grandfathers from the synagogue into gas chambers

and turned on the gas tap. They all forgot. Jews returned to Berlin and believe the Holocaust won’t return. That’s what their grandfathers used to think.

That’s what we think when we invest and develop business at home, even though in the past hundred years our counterparts were exterminated several times. The merchants, the capitalists, the NEPmen, the guilders, the tradesmen. But we hope it won’t happen again. And we spend our lives in the service of people raised on commercials and manipulated by the media.

News in Berlin: on the radio in a taxi I heard the newscaster say that if Russia continues intervening in Ukraine, new sanctions will be imposed. I asked them: have there been old sanctions? My fellow travelers couldn’t answer. But everyone is worried.

But it doesn’t prevent them from working well and preparing good food. It doesn’t cost much. Europe has become poor. And now they do their best. Now we are friends with the Germans, and we wage war against those with whom we liberated Berlin

together. I was born in Kyiv, I served in the army in Berlin, I live in Moscow, and I have a business in New York. I understand very well that everyone in this war is ours, but the war itself is foreign.

A table in a café bears a sign in two languages.

Self-service! A piece of paper glued to the tabletop!

But it makes you feel like a welcomed and longawaited guest. Why do our restaurants leave you with an impression that you were robbed on a highway road? And thankful that they spared your life? I return to that self-service table while the great-granddaughters of gas chamber operators smile at me like the Buchenwald or Auschwitz prisoners did at the liberating soldiers. They recall all their English words and even a few Russian ones.

Sometimes there are overlaps. On Ku’damm there is a good Italian restaurant which serves delicious food. All the waitresses speak and understand Russian. You can see it on their faces that they aren’t used to smiling. It makes me nostalgic and aggressive on the inside – my mood plummets.

My business trip is over, my mother-in-law managed to destroy all family order that my wife and I spent years building. I miss my children. I gladly go to Schoenefeld Airport. It looks almost like it did back in 1986. Back then a transport airplane took us from there to our – or is it not ours? – or is it ours again? – Crimea.

A small café offers the best croissants in the world.

My chefs cannot make them taste like that even for me. Two hours later I land in Italy. It is all on time and on plan, the German way. But now the Germans are starting to lose their reliability, punctuality, and purity. They have also lost pureblooded Arians.

Three days later I recall Berlin and watch a soccer match in an Italian bar. My fragola-strawberry gelato dripped on my new John Varvatos t-shirt.

But it doesn’t matter because Germany won 7:0.

P.S. Incidentally, they also won the World Cup – and, apparently, the last war too.

or What You Need to Know Before Hunting for Mushrooms

Mushroom season has officially begun. The woods are full of mushrooms! They are being sold alongside roads and in the markets, and the weather is especially great for mushroom gathering: it’s raining a lot which means mushrooms are a-plenty. But the alluring forest meat is so delicious, yet so dangerous at the same time. At the beginning of the mushroom season, people end up in hospitals with mushroom poisoning.

Why? All the mushrooms seemed to be edible, all familiar… There are several reasons for this, and it’s important to know them and to be careful.

The Ministry of Health statistics show that there are several dozen inedible types of mushrooms registered in Russia. About twenty of them are especially dangerous for people’s life. So next time you set out to the forest to gather mushrooms, please be absolutely sure that you know what you put into your basket. But even the most experienced mushroomers make mistakes.

Note to the mushroom-lovers:

• Do not buy mushrooms at spontaneous markets or from sellers on the roadside.

• Do not put into your basket a mushroom you don’t know. Stay away from the gill-bearing types of mushrooms.

• Do not gather old, overripe, or too young mushrooms, also those growing at the side of highways or in radioactive areas.

• Better avoid mushrooms altogether during a draught: in the heat, they lose moisture and accumulate toxins.

What is mushroom poisoning?

• You don’t feel well after eating mushrooms or you notice your family members feeling sick? Don’t waste time – call the ambulance immediately!

• Even before the paramedics arrive, administer gastric lavage with manganese or sodium solution. An enema can also help. Take lots of fluids.

• Do not throw away the mushroom leftovers. Their analysis might help doctors establish the type of poison ingested by the body.

• Do not self-medicate!

• Nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, fever – all these symptoms develop 30-60 minutes after ingesting poisonous food containing russules, undercooked autumn agaric honeys, blood-red boletus, false puffballs.

Such poisoning normally does not cause death, but it can have serious consequences on your digestive system. Caution! You can also get mushroom poisoning from edible mushrooms that did not undergo adequate thermal treatment or were grown in polluted areas or on the roadsides.

• The most poisonous are toxins in the death cap mushroom, white fly agaric, saddle fungus, and some other types of mushrooms. They are most insidious because their poison, after ending up in the stomach, may not cause any symptoms for up to three days. The signs of poisoning will show only after the stomach has long been free of the mushrooms, and people will long forget eating them. Fainting, nausea, thirst, spasms, blue lips and nails, cold hands and feet – these symptoms appear when the poison has already reached the brain.

MUSHROOM BASKET (chanterelles, porcini, champignons) 300 g – 420 RUR

How to cook mushrooms right

• Never eat raw mushrooms.

• Wash the selected mushrooms and boil them several times in salty water for 30 minutes.

• Keep cooked mushroom meals in enameled containers, but no longer than 24 hours.

• Pregnant and breast-feeding women should never eat mushrooms.

• Don’t rely on domestic methods to find out if the mushrooms are edible. For example, don’t put an onion or a silver spoon into the water where the mushrooms are boiling. Silver will darken from contact with any amino acid contained both in edible and inedible mushrooms. And the onion color will alter under the influence of tyrosinase ferment, also contained in all types of mushrooms.

• People who are treated in hospitals for mushroom poisoning often tell doctors that they had been boiling the mushrooms long. But what matters is not how long you keep your mushrooms on the burner, but how many times you change the water – it presents the highest danger!

Special warning: don’t give mushrooms to children!

Doctors are especially concerned with the fact that among people with mushroom poisoning there are often children, even children under the age of one, who are almost impossible to save.

Please remember: mushroom-containing meals are especially heavy for your digestive system, and so should not be served to children and people with serious digestive diseases, liver conditions, or chronic internal organ pathologies. Children under 12, says Larysa Kostyuchenko, the chief children’s immunologist in the Lviv region, have no enzymes to digest mushrooms. Therefore, no matter if the mushrooms are good or bad, they will still present a challenge for a child’s stomach.

For a Soviet person, it is practically impossible to imagine weekdays and holidays without vodka. It is a historical drink with its share of legends, anecdotes, andunbelievable stories. Ultimately, Ukrainians and Russians and Belarusians are often associated with this 80-proof drink. It’s no surprise because not only did vodkamanage to break past the borders, but ithas become one of the world’s most popular spirits.

It seems that in vodka has always existed, but it is not so. The term «vodka» appeared only in 1936 after the introduction to the USSR of the state standard. Before that, it had different names, but the most common name was“kaziоnnoie vino” (state-owned wine).

In the Soviet Union vodka was really a strategic commodity.

Red Army soldiers who took part in fighting were daily given a “boyovyi” (combatant) or a “narkomovskyjsto gram” (People’s Commissar’s hundred grams). The size of the portion eventually decreased for most.

Daily doses of vodka were later given only to those soldiers who fought on the frontlines and who had notable success.

But on the other hand, military servicemen who fought the Germans at the frontlineand had notable successreceived 200 grams of vodka a day! Here in this photograph the photographer recorded a historic moment – vodka is being given to sailors on the cruiser “Russia,” owned by the Russian Imperial Fleet.

The production of vodka was supported by Comrade Stalin. At the Fourteenth Congress of the CPSU(B), he said: “A word or two, by the way, about one of the sourcesof reserves — vodka. There are people who think that it is possible to build socialism in white gloves. That is a very gross mistake, comrades. Since we are not receiving loans, since we are poor in capital, and since, furthermore, we cannot go into bondage to the West-European capitalists, not being able to accept the enslaving terms that they offer us and which we have rejected, only one alternative remains — to seek sources in other spheres. After all, that is better than bondage. Here we have to choose between bondage and vodka, and those people who think that it is possible to build socialism in white gloves are grievously mistaken.”

Some interesting facts about vodka: The most popular cocktails mixed with vodka are Bloody Marys, Screwdrivers, andYorshes. The most expensive vodka in the world is Diva, which is produced in Scotland. The price per bottle ranges from 4,000 to one million dollars, depending on the decorations that are on it.

Щоправда, любов сприймав не так як більшість чоловіків, бо у стосунках з жінками насамперед цінував біль і приниження, від чого отримував задоволення. Став відомим письменником і навіки вписав своє ім’я в підручники з психіатрії. Зараз усі ми знаємо, що таке «мазохізм», але і не підозрюємо, що до його виникнення спричинився уродженець Львова – Леопольд фон Захер Мазох…

Майбутній відомий письменник народився в 1836 році у Львові, який на той час входив до складу Австрійської імперії. Первісток, на якого подружжя чекало цілих дев’ять років. Та дитинка хоч і народилася, але втіхи батькам принесла небагато, бо хлопчик був настільки кволим, що кілька місяців практично балансував на межі життя і смерті. Тоді Захер-Мазохи приймають важке рішення – віддати сина на вигодовування до жінки у підміське село Винники. Так малого Леопольда починає виховувати проста жінка з села – Гандзя. Вона годує його своїм молоком, розповідає казки і легенди. Хлопчик, який, окрім нікудишнього фізичного здоров’я, мав порушену психіку, закохується у барвистий світ української мови та етносу. Цей фактор також матиме вплив на його творчість, бо, покинувши Львів, у багатьох своїх історіях він опише саме життя маленьких міст та сіл Галичини, відкриваючи її колорит світові. Але здорова сільська атмосфера була тільки одним боком медалі, бо інше «я» хлопця притягують не веселі історії про опришків чи козаків, а жорстокість і насилля. Він не тільки любить читати відповідну літературу, але і мріє про те, що знайдеться людина, яка зробить з нього безвідмовного раба, піддаватиме його приниженню і тортурам. Підліток в уяві виплекав собі жінку, яка б ідеально пасувала на цю роль. ЇЇ прообразом стала родичка по батьковій лінії, графиня Ксенобія. Це була надзвичайної вроди красуня, що попри те мала дуже жорсткий і вимогливий характер. Одного разу, граючи у схованку зі своїми сестрами, Леопольд сховався у її спальні і став свідком того, як графиня привела туди коханця, а через кілька хвилин у спальню вдерся її чоловік з двома друзями. Графиня побила та вигнала трьох непроханих гостей, коханець втік, а Леопольд необачно видав свою присутність, після чого графиня побила і його. Проте від її ударів хлопчик відчував незрозуміле задоволення. Чоловік незабаром повернувся, а Леопольд, сховавшись за дверима, чув удари батога та стогони графа. Образи і батога, і хутра, яке полюбляла носити графиня, стали постійними мотивами у творчості Захер-Мазоха. «Ця подія відбилася у моїй душі, ніби випалена розжареною сталлю. В один і той же час я

ненавидів і любив це створіння у звабливому хутрі», – скаже очевидець скандалу. Коли майбутньому письменникові виповнюється дванадцять років, то сім’я покидає Львів і переїжджає жити до Праги, а згодом – до Грацу. Переїзд був зумовлений виходом батька на пенсію. Там юний галичанин вивчає юриспруденцію, математику та історію і вже у дев’ятнадцять років стає доктором права, а наукову кар’єру поєднує з письменництвом. У 1858 році виходить «Одна галицька історія. Рік 1846». Далі народжується найвідоміший його твір «Венера в хутрі». Після цього юний талант знайомиться з донькою дрібних фабрикантів Авророю фон Рюмслін, яка була його палкою прихильницею. Спершу обоє просто листуються, але далі стається неймовірне – Захер-Мазох пропонує дівчині руку і серце. Причому, навіть не пропонує, а швидше благає, аби кохана вийшла за нього заміж. Нічого подібного від чоловіка ніхто не чекав, адже досі у стосунках молодий письменник тримав дистанцію і далі любощів ніколи не йшов. Мабуть, хитра жінка змогла знайти ті невидимі пружини, які заводили складний механізм у його психіці, а можливо, просто вдумливо перечитала його твори і зрозуміла, чого саме бракує уродженцеві Львова… Тоді «Венера у хутрі» уже була досить популярною книгою і саме там автор чесно описував свої бажання. Так чи інакше, але дружина Захер-Мазоха не тільки бере до рук батога, але й сама пробує писати у відповідній стилістиці. Усі свої оповідки підписує не інакше як Ванда фон Дунаєва, за іменем головної героїні цього роману. На перший погляд, молода сім’я здавалася ідеальною. Ніхто з їхніх друзів і не підозрював, що відбувається між чоловіком і дружиною, коли за ними закриваються двері до спальні. А відбувалось таки неймовірне, бо Мазох не тільки любив, аби його шмагали батогом, але й проходив через різноманітні приниження. Його зв’язували, травили собаками, він полюбляв переодягатися у прислугу і виконувати найчорнішу роботу, а жінці це і було потрібно. Вона увійшла у смак. Потім австрійський психопатолог Ріхард фон Крафт-Ебінг, який вивчатиме творчість Леопольда фон Захер-Мазоха та введе у науковий обіг термін «мазохізм», оприлюднить договір, укладений між чоловіком та дружиною. «Мій рабе! Умови, на яких я вас приймаю і терплю біля себе, такі: повна і безумовна відмова від власного «я». Мені надається право карати вас так, як спаде на дум-

ку. Якщо я тону у розкошах, а вас примушую терпіти поневіряння і в той же час зневажаю, то ви повинні мовчки цілувати ноги, які б’ють вас. Мені дозволена безмежна жорстокість, і навіть якщо я вас спотворю, ви повинні витерпіти усе це без будь-яких нарікань. Ви визнаєте за мною владу і право закатувати вас до смерті за допомогою найвишуканіших тортур. Якщо ж ви не зможете терпіти зверхності, то повинні вбити себе самі, бо свободу я вам не поверну ніколи…» Отож, нарешті фортуна обертається до Леопольда обличчям. Він має дружину, яка виконує усі його забаганки, гроші, бо перші твори добре продаються, і славу. Коли у 1872 році після «Венери у хутрі» популярний французький журнал публікує його «Дон Жуана з Коломиї», то прізвище Захер-Мазох стає відомим практично по всій Європі. Це було справді свіже чтиво, яке збирало захоплені відгуки у поціновувачів добірної літератури. Слава уродженця Львова росте, немовби на дріжджах. Разом з ним стає популярна і Ванда фон Дунаєва, його жінка. Вона пише низькопробні новели та оповідання, які, звичайно погано, але продаються, бо усі знають, що авторка ділить ліжко з великим Захер-Мазохом, а отже купують просто так, заради цікавості. Та, незважаючи на це, фінансовий стан подружжя тільки погіршується – апетити дружини ростуть у геометричній прогресії: дорогі ресторани, вишукане товариство, хутро. Зрештою у домі Леопольда заледве зводять кінці з кінцями. У результаті письменнику справді не залишається іншого, як писати низькопробні речі. У них хоч і багато сексу та взаємин між людьми, але твори суттєво програють першим текстам. Це уже просто порнографія, якою навіть у ті часи нікого не здивуєш. Ті, хто недолюблював стиль і манеру письма Лео, тільки потирають руки і ще більше бризкають отрутою в його бік. Як апогей його покидає Аврора, яка йде від письменника до іншого чоловіка. Він одружується з гувернанткою своїх дітей. Пише усе менше і менше, бо втрачає натхнення, і врешті зникає з поля зору читачів. Час до часу виходить на вулицю, але впізнати у ньому легендарного Мазоха, який ніколи не шкодував грошей на коштовні хутра своїм фавориткам, ніхто не може – від чоловіка віє приреченістю і нещастям. Як і у дитинстві він худий, кволий і з божевільним поглядом, а такі тільки відлякують... Письменник помирає у 1895 році і його відхід мало хто помічає, хоч найбільше у своєму житті знавець людських душ боявся забуття. Текст: Степан ГРИЦЮК

Ukrainian Film Voted Best Documentary Film Ever Made

Dziga Vertov’s film Man with a Movie Camera (1929) was rated number one in the most prestigious British Film Institute listing. Out of the 200 film critics and 100 filmmakers who compiled the list, 110 called the Ukrainian reel the best documentary film ever made.

This was reported by Oleksandr Dovzhenko National Center. The film won in a competition with over 1,000 pictures made since the beginning of cinema, every fifth of which was made after the year 2000.

Man with a Movie Camera is Dziga Vertov’s second film made at the Odesa Film Factory together with his talented brother and camera operator, Mikhail Kaufman. Vertov’s auto-reflexive experiment received mixed reviews from the critics and no understanding whatsoever from the public, and soon was erased from the history of Soviet cinema and forgotten for a long time.

Man with a Movie Camera was remembered again only in the 1960s, after the director’s death, when the French New Wave cinematographers rediscovered his legacy.

The film was shot in Odesa, Kyiv, and Kharkiv, and it serves as a methodological manual for all documentary directors and at the same time as a good example of a “film about film,” which raises and attempts to answer questions about the unbiased recording of reality.

Hair – A Woman’s Power!

A Mystery, Woven into a Braid…

Since time immemorial, long and beautiful hair was the ideal of female beauty. But whyare young girls’ hair braided? Why must women cover their hair in churches of different cultures and religions? Why are there so many rites and rituals associated with hair? Priests and bioenergy experts unanimously claim that women’s hair is not only a beautiful frame for the face, but a powerful source of energy, a source of strength, and even a sort of amulet. And not only for women but also for her children and husband. Therefore, hair should be long and beautiful.

What Is a Braid?

Since ancient times, women braided hair. Why? Three equal strands woven into a braid symbolize the interweaving and merging of three worlds – three of life’s forces: the past, the present, and the future, which are combined into one powerful energy flow. A long braid is a woman’samulet. In ancient times it was believed that all the light and healing forces of the universe come to a woman through her hair and fill her body, soul, and spirit with vitality.

And a braided plait is protection against evil and dark forces. Married women knew that long and beautiful hair was a great gift becausethe energy and happiness of the hearth are stored in the braid.

Therefore, to ensure that the energy stayed in the home, and so as not to bring at the ends of the hairenvy to the home, married women coveredtheir headswith kerchiefs. Few people know that a bride’s veil protects her energy and protects against the evil eye and hostile words.

А Stylish Haircut or a Braid?

It shouldn’t come as a surprise that grandparents blew on their granddaughters’ braids. They knew that to cut a braid meant to deny someone of their personal freedom. Only nuns did this voluntarily because they rejected worldly things and showed their obedience. The haircut thus symbolized the deprivation ofindividuality, a display of helplessness and vulnerability. Therefore, women of all nations and religions cherished and grewtheir braids, and did not cut them.

Wash Away the Negative Muslims recommendtakingshowers often, especially hot ones, in order to wash away the accumulated negativity that finds its way toour

hair. A shower is a must before visiting the mosque.

Think about it, haven’t you ever wanted to take a shower after talking to a negative person?

It’s all logical: hair is perhaps the most energyand information rich structure of our body. Hair carries information about lifestyle and simultaneously absorbs everything from the environment. So after meeting with an unpleasant person or after some quarrel,one wants to wash his or her hair. It’s no surprise. The negativity is cleaned from one’s soul and washed down the drain. Our hair is an amulet, because it prevents informational trash from seeping into the body. One feels better after washing one’s hair!

A Master’s Hands Never cut your own hair! Not only will your haircut but your overall vitality will suffer. It is believed that cutting one’s hair deprives you of vitality and even shortens your life. A good hairdresser with life-giving power in hisor her hands is worth its weight in gold! After all, a good master not only improves the condition of someone’s hair, but also of theirlife. This is not an exaggeration.

Women visit their hairdresser as if they are going toa therapist!

Mustard – Cheap and Powerful!

If your hair grows slowly, you can stimulate the growth with the help of the cheap and accessible mustard powder. One must use this once a week for a month and the result will become evident.

Place in a container two tablespoons of mustard powder, add two tablespoons of hot water, and two tablespoons of oil (olive or burdock). In addition, adda yolk and two teaspoons of sugar. Be careful not to overdo it with the sugar, because the more sugar, the angrier the mustard!

Mix everything thoroughly and apply on the scalp.

Brush the hair to the very ends with the heated oil, asit will prevent your hair from drying out from the mustard. Cover your head with a shower cap or a plastic bag and a towel. Try to keep the maskon for over an hour.

After the treatment has been in your hair, wash it off with warm water and shampoo, and it is recommended to put balm or some cosmetic activatoron yourclean damp hair.

Some Advice from…

Solomiya Kotyk, a distinguished doctor and dermatologist,stresses that all hair treatments made from red hot peppers or mustard improve blood circulation, vitalize the hair follicles, and stimulate hair growth. But first you need to make sure the scalp is healthy, immune to pepper or mustard, and that there are no abrasionsor cracks in the skin, because such an aggressive intervention will traumatize the skin even more. If hair loss or a receding hairline startssuddenly, there can be many reasons for this which a doctor must determine and then prescribe an appropriate treatment for. Even tooth decay or worms in the body can trigger hair loss.

• It is useful to comb your hair with a wooden comb every evening. It is important that the comb is made of natural material. Wood has beneficial effects on hair. A woman who combs her hair for a long time combs away the negativity from her life.

• Turn on some soft music, smile, and think about something goodwhile you comb your hair.

• If a woman intends to change something in her life, she will first change something in her hair: thestyle, the length,the color...

• Do not forget that trimming your hair, makinghair masks, applying therapeutic oils, and rinsing your hair with herbal remedies will improve yourlife!

History is in the Detail | 13

On September 3, 1914, (a hundred years ago!) the first bra was born

Women have numerous charms that have always drawn men’s gazes. But the female bosom is beyond any competition. And the fuller it was, the more eloquent odes men were ready to sing. It is interesting to know that throughout history beautiful ladies have covered this intimate part of their bodies with a variety of garments: bright strips, handkerchiefs, pieces of cloth or leather.

Women learned to utilize such unsophisticated accessories back in Ancient Greece: in order to push up the breasts and to conceal an ample bosom they used strips of fabric tied together with cords on the back. But in the Middle Ages they didn’t need to resort even to this simplified type of bra. It’s not surprising since that was a time when fashion dictated metal corsets which strapped tightly to the ribs and pushed up the breasts. State authorities even issued decrees that dictated that no lady was to appear in public without a corset. Ladies used to suffer for months on end, even in their sleep, because night gowns were also made with corsets. A girl would be presented with such a “gift” when she turned 16 and since then she would never part with it. A carefree adolescence was replaced with torture…

We don’t know what history would be if it wasn’t for the American Mary Phelps Jacob who received a patent for the first brassiere. She rejected the whalebone corset and employed two handkerchiefs and a ribbon. The right to distribute and sell the new invention was sold for 1,500 dollars. It was a huge amount of money at a time when an automobile could be bought for 260 dollars. Later, this element of women’s undergarment continued to evolve. Bras started to be released in different sizes and were made of two cups and elastic straps. The cup sizes began to range from A to D. The bras became more sophisticated and erotic; models started posing in them at photo sessions. The most famous beauties to appear in bras were Marilyn Monroe, Brigit Bardot, and Gina Lollobrigida. Whenever a new film was released with these stars in it, men hurried to buy tickets to enjoy the beauty of their beloved actresses…

Korchma Held Its Final Event for Children from Orphanages

For the last several months, the New York Korchma restaurant has been raising funds, which were later used to hold festive dinners for children from Kyiv orphanages. The final event was held at the beginning of August, but in a slightly different format. This time, in addition to children from Kyivbased orphanages, we also invited refugee families from eastern Ukraine, which is currently the site of a military operation.

With assistance from Dobroe Delo Charity Foundation, created to help such refugee families, our Kyiv restaurant invited over 150 refugee

children from the Donetsk and Luhansk regions, and from Crimea.

Among those present was a large family from the Luhansk region forced to flee their home and now temporarily living in a guesthouse in Kyiv.

Despite so many children, parents, and their teachers, everything went smoothly and nicely.

Thankfully, Korchma Taras Bulba has lots of space to accommodate so many people.

We are especially thankful to so many people who volunteered that day to entertain our restaurant’s young guests. They distributed many

presents to the children. Korchma, in turn, now has a new collection of children’s paintings.

One of the evening’s highlights was celebrating one of our young guests’ birthday: the girl was greeted by over two hundred people and received a present from the restaurant’s staff: teddy bears and our magazine Tarasyk.

We would like to extend our thanks to the New York restaurant and personally to Yuri Beloivan for the opportunity they gave us to be part of such a nice endeavor.

Non-Culinary Recipes from Restaurateur Yuri Beloivan Readers will soon be in for a surprise that will be sure to motivate them. This autumn will see the release of the second edition of The Key to Success written by the founder of the restaurant chain Korchma Taras Bulba, Yuri Beloivan.

The new edition is a remarkable and true success story about the path from a hospital orderly and factory worker to a multi-million business owner. The author explores for his readers the mechanism of success, the secret of selfdiscipline, and the value of keeping your word. He also stresses the importance of positive thinking and how thoughts, like a magic wand, are capable of changing your entourage. Here’s a short excerpt from Beloivan’s book: “I am totally familiar with the feeling, I used to be like that. I worked in a factory and was shaking in my shoes because I was afraid to be sacked! (They never did sack me, not so many losers on the street ready to break their backs for peanuts). I quit on my own and started earning 200 dollars per month. Everybody was telling me this, I agreed and did nothing, and learned nothing. What I was

To celebrate the 15th birthday of the Korchma «Taras Bulba» chain of restaurants we present a CD of Ukrainian classical music in modern arrangements from Bulba Press.

really good at was to be mad at others (losers like myself) and concocted reasons that would justify my miserable, wretched life. I was convinced that I would be fired from any good job (in case I even got one!) for the above reasons. I am now ashamed of this. But sometimes it’s necessary to remember in order to never go back to 1986. I have had so many complexes and fears since then! It lasted till I finally started doing what I always put off, what seemed too simple to be the key to a new, better life. There’s a temptation to think that simple things can never lead to a big change. And nevertheless, all great things are simple, all great books are written in simple words.”

Beloivan does not hide the fact that his book is not a panacea from poverty and failures – everything depends on the doer. Just like in The Matrix. You can take the blue pill and stay the same. Or you can choose the red pill – and your life will be turned around. The choice is yours!

Follow our announcements and welcome the new book from BulbaPress.

The exclusive new disc will be available for sale in our restaurants!
