What’s Up Justice Served Cold. Like Revenge

Ukraine Gets A Hand at Cannes

The Ukrainian justice (*cough*) system seems to be working overtime these days. There have been the weekly interrogations of former PM Yulia Tymoshenko in relation to corruption and misappropriation of public funds. Now, former Interior Minister, Orange Revolution “field commander” and political wanderer Yuriy Lutsenko – jailed since December 2010 – finally had a day in court, on Monday 23 May. On a hunger strike since April 22, Lutsenko was visibly thinner than his previously robust self. Unbowed, he showed no sign of giving up, in what he sees as a case of political revenge against him on the part of the ruling Party of Regions. According to the Lutsenko camp, this is simply a case of ‘payback’ for his pursuit of Regions high-flyers as Boris Kolesnikov and his stern opposition to President Viktor Yanukovich himself. While many had speculated that he had originally been arrested in connection with the poisoning of Viktor Yuschenko (indeed, he has been questioned on that matter), the official charge sheet makes no mention of it, accusing him among other things instead of acquiring property by unlawful means and abuse of office.

During his appearance at the famous Pechersk District Court, long-time source of bewildering decisions, Lutsenko demanded that the panel of judges recuse itself from adjudication of the case, stating that he had no reason to believe that they would be impartial. As is his right under the Constitution of Ukraine, he instead demanded a jury trial – a rarity in the country. The court, as was perhaps to be expected, refused his request, pronouncing it “groundless.” Calling the case against him “a collection of the Public Prosecutor’s fantasies,” Lutsenko further demanded that he be released from jail pending trial. This motion too, however, was denied. In perhaps more positive news, stating that he sees no further point in the hunger strike, he has called it off.

The Ukrainian movie “The Cross” by Maryna Vroda won the Palme D'Or for “Best Short Film” at this year’s Cannes Film Festival. The 15-minute film presents the author’s own memories of the physical education lessons and the it took less than a week to shoot. All of the film’s characters are portrayed by non-professional actors, as is to be expected, given that the entire budget of the film was 3,500 Euros. In other words, young Ukrainian filmmaker Vroda has proven conclusively that a good movie can be produced on a shoestring, without millions of Euros’ worth of CGI. Given Ukraine’s paltry state support for the arts, it’s no surprise that talented Maryna Vroda sought funding elsewhere, eventually finding support in Cannes home country of France. Vroda first showed her reels at Ukraine’s own Molodist International Festival, where she was quickly singled out as one of the country’s most talented and skilled young filmmakers. Maryna admits that she got no sleep on the night when she found out that her film had been accepted for the competition in Cannes. That long night gave her time to put things into perspective, however, and she came to the realization that – Cannes award of not – she would carry on making films. Vroda’s is actually the second eminent award from Cannes, following Ukraine Ihor Strembitsky’s Golden Palme D'Or victory for another short film in 2005.

Friendless?

Yuriy Lutsenko’s political path has been one of detours, but he has largely remained on one (more or less) constant trajectory: a commitment to democratic institutions and implacable opposition to the Party of Regions. Rarely, however, is anything in the political maelstrom of Ukraine solely what it looks like. His methods while Interior Minister did not go without criticism: it is usually frowned upon when the man in charge of law enforcement has no comprehension of “presumption of innocence.” Have the tables now turned?

Perhaps more damaging is his tendency to break loudly and publicly with former mentors and comrades, as he has done in the past, first with Socialist Party leader Oleksandr Moroz, then with then-president Yushchenko. These partings have always been accompanied by mutual

19.indb 4

recriminations and accusations, in language rarely seen as ‘parliamentary.’ His scuffle with the loony former mayor of Kyiv remains in the public memory, as does the scandal surrounding the infamous events (or non-events?) at Frankfurt airport.

Following his break with Yushchenko, Lutsenko made no bones about finding a new political camp or, perhaps, “roof” – that of Yulia Tymoshenko and BYuT. While the ex-PM has been garnering a steady stream of publicity recently, in what many consider a run-up to a full-fledged return to the fray after something of a quiet period, she does not appear to have gone out of her way for Lutsenko. Not that she can be blamed for that - she’s got a raft of her own issues (legal and political) with which to deal, and was in court on 23 May. One can’t help asking whether Lutsenko’s actions in the past have now left him without powerful political friends on whom to call for support.

Regardless of his previous political meanderings, Lutsenko deserves a fair trial, like any citizen of a civilised country, but a pre-ordained show trial seems increasingly likely. Certain member states of the EU do seem to be taking an interest. Apparently, the ambassadors of Sweden and Finland, two EU states without less ‘hard’ power than others, but with great reserves of moral authority, were present in the courtroom today, acting as unofficial rapporteurs. That can’t be a bad thing. However, given the previously toothless reactions of the EU, Lutsenko would be ill-advised to see them as the cavalry.

Kyiv To Smarten Itself Up Euro-2012 Kyiv’s City Council is beginning to take notice of the capital’s appearance, with Euro-2012 approaching rapidly. With that in mind, the council has banned any new billboards in the city centre until 1 September. In addition, our fair city fathers will be developing standardized rules for the appearance of outdoor advertisement, laying out the permissible shape, colour and size of the billboards, light-boxes and other advertising media. Stating their desire that Kyiv look like a city in the rest of Europe, where outdoor adverts tend to be better integrated into the cityscape, the city authorities will also have to decrease the amount of advertising space, in order to preserve the historical and architectural face of Kyiv. In a somewhat contradictory non-effort earlier this month, however, the Verkhovna Rada failed to ban outdoor advertisement with sexual and erotic content, with only 12 deputies voting for the prohibition. It would therefore seem that regardless of the number and size of billboards and other advertising, Kyiv is unlikely to look innocent, in terms of public advertising content, in time for 2012. Then again, what European city doesn’t feature raunchy ads? We’ve not seen one yet.

Bach’s Rediscovered Archive Concert of classical music by Kyiv Soloists classical music ensemble, Master Klass Cultural Centre (Lavrska 16)

28 May at 19.00 Bach’s Archive is a selection of more than 5 000 scores by Bach and his sons, as well as by other European composer of the 17th and 18 th centuries. For many years, it had been considered lost, whereas it had, in fact, been brought to Kyiv from Berlin by Soviet soldiers in 1945. In 1990, this slice of musical heritage was returned to Germany, but copies of the works were left in Kyiv, allowing the modern ensemble to perform Bach’s music the way it was meant to sound. Master Klass Cultural Centre, together with the Kyiv Soloists ensemble, presents a unique concert of unknown music by famous European composers. Don’t miss your chance!

Tickets are 50hrv. For more information call: 594-1063 : What's On Recommended

This year, Kyiv is going to celebrate its official Day over three days, starting on 27 May and finishing on 29 May. The list of events planned will satisfy the most demanding of Kyiv's citizens and guests of the city, so schedule your Kyiv Day celebration carefully, so as not to miss something interesting!

A very special day to spend in your beloved city 27 May

28 May

Kiev Fashion Park opens in Peyzazhna Alley.

This is the first Ukrainian park of modern sculpture and installations. The landscaping includes 17 objects of art, created by famous Ukrainian artists and designers: 10 benches, 6 sculptures and 1 installation. The organisers claim that this is only the first step on the way to incorporating contemporary art into the city space. For guests of Kyiv, it’s a nice chance to sit on a bench from Liliya Pustovit, walk under an Oleksandre Alekseev arch or feel like a kid again riding Andre Tan’s seesaw. You’ll want to try it for yourself!

On the same day, Mystetsky Arsenal opens a huge literary festival, the “Bookish Arsenal” fair and exhibit. This festival involves more than a hundred Ukrainian and foreign publishing houses, each presenting its own programme, including separate ones for music, literature and children’s books. A separate thematic day of the festival will be devoted to Kyiv and the most interesting books about this city, including a selection of modern urban literature. The festival will be open until 31 May, offering a nice event for the entire family.

A parade of bicyclists will run through the centre of Kyiv. Gathering at 9.00 on European Square, they will wheel around through Khreshchatyk, Lva Tolstoho Square and up to Mykhaylivska Square. At 11.00, the International Bicycling Competition starts from Maidan Nezalezhnosti, running to Lva Tolstoho Square and back.

Also on Saturday, the always spectacular openair Kyiv Regatta starts from Obolon Quay.

At 12.00, be sure to be at Sofiyska Square for the international “World’s Strongest Man”, as Ukrainian men try to prove that this is the country of not only the most beautiful women, but also of the strongest men!

If you are more inclined to spend this weekend out of the city, Pyrohovo is the best location, hosting the Ukrainian Kite Festival on this day. From 11.00 to 17.00, the sky will be festooned with kites, competing to see which can fly highest.

Apart from that, Pyrohovo itself is a lovely authentic site, demonstrating Ukraine’s architecture and folk craft mastery. You won’t leave without some nice souvenirs!

For two days (28-29 May), Spivoche Pole of the Pechersk landscape park will host a family folkart event, showing off crafts mastery from Ukraine

At Kyiv’s Lavra Gallery, there will be art exhibitions, films and a festival of city culture entitled “I Love Kyiv,” all of the offerings of which will share a single theme – Kyiv.

29 May Sunday

At 8.30 this Sunday morning, the traditional international charity marathon “Run Under the Chestnut Trees” starts from Maidan Nezalezhnosti.

Come to watch or join in! Both are good for you.

From 16.00 to 21.00 the city’s main square will host a concert of folk and popular music.

From 17.00 to 19.00, there will be an unprecedented fashion event, “Fashion Seasons – Looking Ahead,” coming from the people at Kyiv Fashion Week. Khreshchatyk will be turned into a huge catwalk, where renowned Ukrainian designers and some of the best up-and-coming talent will display their collections.

The busy programme of events comes to a spectacular finish, with a large-scale fireworks and laser show will sparkling in the sky above the Dnipro from 21.00 to 23.00. This exciting show, with wild light and sound combinations will make for an unforgettable night!

If the weather favours Kyiv over these days, we’ll all have some fun enjoying life and the coming summer!

Rock Legend Graces Kyiv Robert Plant and the Band of Joy, Palace Ukraine (Chervonoarmiyska 103)

31 July at 19.00 “Legend”, “ground-breaking” and “influential” are but three of the adjectives that have been applied to Robert Plant. And with good reason. From not entirely humble beginnings (Jimmy Page, after all, had already tasted fame with the Yardbirds), Plant and “Led Zep” reeled off a stunning string of blues-infused hard rock hit albums, spawning chart-topping hits like “Communication Breakdown”, “Heartbreaker”, “Rock ‘N’ Roll”, “Kashmir” and, of course, “Stairway to Heaven”, the song that accompanied many a latenight teenage fumble. Following Zep’s breakup, undeterred and with a considerable amount still to offer, Plant soldiered on, notably releasing a platinum (and 5 Grammy-winning) album entitled Raising Sand, in collaboration with American singer Alison Kraus. On tour with his new band, Plant will be arriving in Kyiv as one of the most beloved rock singers of all time. This concert will be, if there is any justice in the world, sold out and tickets will move fast, so you may want to “Ramble On” down to your box office as soon as tickets go on sale.

Ticket prices TBA. For more information call 247-2316.

Take Me Out!

I can think of few places I’d rather be on a beautiful early summer evening than the riverside. There’s just something about proximity to a lovely river or lake that I can’t resist. Combine that with a tasty morsel or two and I find it hard to think of a better way to spend a stress-free evening. With that in mind, I leapt on the opportunity to visit Mayachok.
