What’s Up

Yanukovych Need not be Worried by Lukashenko Example

W

hen Alyaksandr Lukashenko, the Belarusian leader, took 80% of the vote in December’s election, people smelt a rat.

They took to the streets and protested peacefully, with opposition leaders making speeches and acting as any opposition would. In Ukraine we drew parallels with the Orange Revolution and even the Arab Spring. But unlike those examples the Belarusian protests didn’t lead to change; camera crews didn’t arrive en masse, and the incumbent didn’t make concessions or cede power.

Lukashenko reacted angrily, rounding up and arresting most of his rival candidates, their wives, aides, backers and supporters. Charges were brought such as organising public disorder and hooliganism. The state media has gone to sleep. Neighbouring state’s have looked the other way. International observers have been expelled. Lukashenko has made speeches denouncing the dangers of “nauseating” democracy. The show trials have begun. His rival candidates have started to get lengthy jail terms. The defendants have all said they were tortured whilst awaiting trial. Foreign media has been expelled too. Lukashenko has accused them of "sowing panic" and has denounced them as “hysterical”. It’s interesting to hear what Lukashenko considers hysterical.

The trials are predictably farcical. Police witnesses have failed to turn up at court to corroborate or deny official versions of events. Among the most original excuses was a "significantly bruised bottom" resulting in hospitalisation. The response of the international community has been equally predictable - the EU simply re-imposing travel bans. Jose Barroso’s refusal to be in the same room as Lukashenko during the recent Chornobyl commemoration was no doubt well-intended, but hardly hard-hitting. Lukashenko responded by calling the EU leaders “morons and arseholes”. Not the words of a worried man...

Unfortunately, this isn’t the first time Lukashenko has used such tactics. In 2006 the Belarusian elections were also condemned as completely fraudulent, and resulted in more than 150 opposition arrests, including that of the runner-up in the election, Alyaksandr Kozulin, and of a former ambassador to Belarus, Marussz Maszkiewicz, both of whom complained of having been beaten by police. Then as now, Lukashenko won by an embarrassingly high margin. Then as now, the EU voiced outrage. Then as now,

21.indb 4

Lukashenko maintained that the results were fair. Then as now, sanctions and travel bans were imposed. There is clearly a pattern emerging. Some are absolute in their verdict. America’s Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) openly describes Belarus as a “republic in name, [but] in fact a dictatorship".

So far, so depressing. But should Ukrainians be bothered by all this? Some say no. They say that this is just Lukashenko being Lukashenko, that history has always been made by the winners, that everyone can spot a lunatic when they see one, and that the army of international human rights lawyers will take him down eventually. An alternative view is that Ukrainians should be very bothered indeed. Three reasons are given.

Firstly, Ukraine and Belarus are neighbours and are often mentioned in the same breath. The behaviour of one reflects on the international image of the other, so Lukashenko’s misadventures serve only to reduce credibility and reinforce stereotypes of the region. If Ukraine wants to be taken seriously, they say, then it will have to distance itself from this amateurism north of its border. But far from distancing itself, however, Prime Minister Azarov said earlier this month that the two countries had recently discussed ways in which they could “intensify relations".

Secondly, Ukraine should be mindful that Lukashenko’s antics could finally have pushed him permanently away from Europe and into the arms of Russia. This could mean that the EU loses patience with the region as a whole, affecting Ukraine’s ambitions of membership. It could also mean that Belarus now joins Kazakhstan in the Russian-dominated customs-union Vladimir Putin wants Ukraine to sign up for. This would put pressure on Ukraine to join as formal economic partners, and to tie itself more closely to Belarus, at a time when it has just devalued its currency quite considerably and when its 10 million people are now scrambling for dollars and euros.

Finally, and most importantly, Ukraine should draw lessons from the protests and their aftermath. The world didn’t tune in. Countries didn’t put pressure on the regime to change. And the victorious candidate quickly took advantage by consolidating power by ridding himself of his rivals, using pliant courts and trumped-up charges to do so. We know of at least one recent Ukrainian ex-prime minister who may currently think they’ve already drawn that lesson.

The Government's View of the Nation's Foreign Debt There’s a lot going on this week regarding Ukraine’s foreign debt, and it seems even the government is finding it all rather confusing.

First of all, last Friday Finance Minister Fedir Yaroshenko told the press that he expected the next tranche of the IMF loan to come on time.

The following day, Prime Minister Mykola Azarov said the country was in a fine financial position and didn’t need any more money from the IMF to pay the country’s foreign debt. “We have no need for urgent loans from the IMF,” he said. “We have enough funds to pay our own foreign debt.”

Then, the very same day, it was announced that the $2 billion loan from the Russian state-owned lender VTB would be extended for a further six months, and could be extended for another six months again if necessary.

Does that all sound a bit contradictory to you?

Yes, it does to us too!

Yanukovych Begins Ukraine Becomes Local Government European Reforms Surrogacy Centre On Monday, President Viktor Yanukovych told members of the press that the government had begun a complete reform of local government. “Our country is now starting a profound reform of local government. A concept and practical plan to develop and support local government is being elaborated, the main purpose of which is to make local government work more effectively,” he said.

“I would like to remind everyone that under the European Charter of Local Self-Government, local authorities are one of the main pillars of democracy,” he said (which he himself, clearly is not. Ed.).

He went on to say that the question of the distribution of power between central government and the regions should be approached reasonably, and that further politicking on the part of local government would no longer be tolerated. “Sometimes we see local government substituting central government, breaking the law, and attempting to agitate people with political statements,” he said.

Yes, Mr President, we can’t have that, can we? Everyone, central or local, must bow to your will and never speak out against you.

It's a democracy after all!

Ukraine is becoming the most popular destination for Western couples seeking to have children through surrogacy due to low costs and relatively favourable legislation. It seems that women in some parts of Ukraine charge far less for the service than in Europe, and another big bonus for couples seeking surrogacy is that Ukrainian legislation recognises the couples who hire surrogates as the only lawful parents. This, in turn, means that legal fees tend to be much lower than in Western European countries as legislation in Europe varies quite drastically from country to country, and there are many instances where a surrogate can legally challenge the rights of the parents.

Some countries, such as France, have a total ban on surrogacy.

Parents having a child through surrogacy in Ukraine will currently pay somewhere between $30,000 and $45,000 with between $10,000 and $15,000 going to the surrogate. Comparing this to prices in the States than can vary between $80,000 and $120,000, it’s clear why Ukraine is seen as a favourable option.

It’s estimated that around 120 official surrogate pregnancies took place in Ukraine last year, and that the actual number could be 30% higher as many families use private agencies that are not required to report their date to the authorities. And the total number is estimated to increase by 20% over the coming year.

But it’s not all plain sailing, and with an increasing number of surrogate pregnancies, there is an increasing number of couples experiencing problems. While the legal situation is quite clear here in Ukraine, an increasing number of couples are running into problems getting the necessary documentation from their home country that will allow them to take the child there.

One French couple, for example, got themselves into hot water when the French Embassy in Kyiv refused to grant the necessary travel documents and they then tried to smuggle their twin daughters over the border. A Ukrainian court fined them $2,000 for the smuggling attempt.

A gay couple from Belgium also experienced serious problems after trying to smuggle their child out of the country, and were only recently reunited with their child after a two-year legal battle.

So Ukraine seems to be a good and affordable option when it comes to surrogacy, but before going down that road, you should thoroughly check the legal position back home or you could end up in trouble.

THERE IS A LIVELY WINEMAKING INDUSTRY IN UKRAINE, OFFERING SOME EXCELLENT, MODERATELY PRICED WINES. HOWEVER, THE QUESTION REMAINS: WHO KNOWS ABOUT IT AND WHAT CAN BE DONE TO SPREAD THE WORD?...

wines and wines for sparkling wine production.

The central plain is largely devoted to hybrid viticulture. Lastly, the south-east region’s salty soil is not overly conducive to the growing of grapes, yet the area does provide some table wines and wines for making cognac.

Transcarpathia Sources offer evidence of wine-making in the Transcarpathian region stretching back to the 12th century. The Beregovoy, Mukhachevo and Uzhgorod regions produce fine dessert wines, among them Furmint, Traminer, Muler-Thurgau and Muscat. However, worthy table wines can also be had, produced from grapes of the white Feteasca, Italian Riesling or Semillon varieties.

From this brief overview, we see that there is a lively winemaking industry in Ukraine, offering some excellent, moderately priced wines. However, the question remains: who knows about it and what can be done to spread the word?

Wine Tourism Overall, worldwide wine consumption is on the rise, with China showing very notable growth in the number of people who regularly drink wine, as prosperity spreads. There is surely some snobbery directed at Ukrainian wines, which tend to be poorly marketed compared to their foreign competition. Old World countries like France, Italy and Spain, whose production makes up a notable share of worldwide production and exports of more than 9 billion litres per year, have long marketed their wines abroad, helping to secure the contribution of their respective domestic wine industries to national GDP. One of the ways the better-known wine-producing countries stimulate interest in their wines is through wine tours. A long-established tradition in Europe, where a visitor could easily do a multiple-country trip around the wineries of the Rhone Valley, southern Germany and the winerich areas of Italy, younger wine-growing countries like Australia, the United States and South Africa have happily climbed on the bandwagon,

21.indb 7

generating significant revenues for wine-growers and their respective tourist trades. In addition to the direct economic benefits of thousands of tourists’ contribution to the local budget, wine tours have a clear knock-on effect in increasing direct wine sales and exports.

While foreign tourism to Ukraine is on the rise, it could be stimulated still further by developing the institution of the wine tour, offering wine lovers abroad (and domestic aficionados, naturally) the opportunity to visit Ukrainian vineyards and wineries, dispelling ignorance regarding the local product. Local wines may not be to everyone’s taste, but there are surely some hidden gems out there and, given the chance to sample local wines, wine lovers foreign and Ukraine-based could add some considerable revenue to local coffers, while having the additional satisfaction of having discovered a (somewhat) unknown treat.

Take Me Back to Crimea Given its stunning coastline, beaches, and cosmopolitan centres with their architectural and botanical wonders, Crimea is a natural place to start. In addition, Crimea’s long history of viticulture means that the potential for wine tourism is the strongest. In fact, there is a company offering a tempting tour of several Crimean cities, with wine-tastings in their respective wineries.

Ofit-Service (www.ofit-travel.com.ua) is pleased to offer an eight-day, seven-night tour, taking in Simferopil and the Dionis sweet wine factory; Sevastopil, for the sparkling wines of Zolotaya Balka; the famous Inkerman in the eponymous city; Yalta, for Alkadan and the renowned Massandra; to Sudak and award-winning Novy Svet and Solnechnaya Dolina.

While Ofit-Service’s arranged tour looks like the best bet for a Crimean wine

odyssey, one could alternatively make one’s own arrangements with the various wine-makers.

Of the Crimean producers, Novy Svet and Massandra make it their business to welcome guests with an interest in wine. Novy Svet (www.nsvet. com.ua) offers a variety of very reasonably priced tours, so you are bound to find something to appeal to both your palette and your frugal side.

Massandra (www.massandra.net.ua) gives no clear indication as to whether they offer tours, but they do have a purpose built wine-tasting facility, which is open to the public. While the website of the Guliev Winery (www.gulievwine.com ) is similarly mute regarding organised tours, it’s certainly worth getting in touch to try to arrange one. After all, the worst they can say is “no”.

Welcome Colonialism Crimea, of course, isn’t the only spot for a little wine tourism. Hotly tipped by a local expert as a truly wonderful vacation and epicurean spot is the Kolonist Winery. Located south of Odesa in Krynychne, this producer may be fairly new to the market, but it is one with a real drive to succeed, by providing excellent quality wines, plus a little more. Check their website (www.kolonist. com.ua ) to get a better picture of its attractions, among which are a comfortable boutique-style guest house and, naturally, regular tastings of their various products.

While there is a considerable amount of work yet to do, there are encouraging signs that there is a real future for wine tourism, with all of its attendant economic benefits, in Ukraine. We at What’s On intend to do our part, so perhaps we’ll see you soon in sunny Crimea, or down Odesa way!

No Pit Pendulum (Australia/UK, drum ‘n’ bass), Stereo Plaza (Kikvidze 17)

15 June at 21.00 The Australo-British sextet, founded in 2002, takes the genre to another level, never fearing to augment traditional d‘n’b lines with heavy guitar riffs and unique vocal stylings. Achieving an immediate hit with their debut single, Another Planet, Pendulum scored a landmark success when their debut album Hold Your Colour became the biggest-selling drum ‘n’ bass record of all time. Their next, In Silico, broke yet more new ground, in that it was recorded “live in studio” and featured grinding metal riffs, bringing in yet more rock fans in search of a new sound. Pendulum comes to Kyiv on the back of their latest release, Immersion, which pushes the band’s creative envelope as far as elements of death-metal. This gig should see fans of various genres coming together to pay tribute to truly fearless creativity. And they’ll groove too, so it sounds like a superb deal.

10 June at 19.00 Born in Harlem in 1965, Richard Melville Hall always had an ear for music. Learning classical guitar at the age of nine, he went to master piano and drums not long after. Signed to Instinct Records in 1989, his first big breakthrough was the progressive house track, Go, that included the string line from the hit TV series, Twin Peaks. With a new album that came out in May of this year, fans should be well versed in both the old and new for his concert this summer. It’s going to be hot – get in on it!

Tickets are 250 – 850hrv. For more information call 246-7406.

The Best in the World

Musical Colours

Yuriy Bashmet and the Soloists of Moscow Orchestra, Palace Ukraine (V Vasylkivska 103)

Green Grey (rock), Art Club 44 (Khreshchatyk 44b)

10 October at 19.00

17 June at 22.00

Yuriy Bashmet, without any exaggeration, is the best violist the world has seen for some time, his name being synonymous with the highest level of instrumental performance. Awarded with prestigious honours such as an Award – the musical equivalent to the Oscars (1993), a Sonnings Musikfond (1995) and a Grammy (2008), Bashmet also has a number of state medals from Italy, France, Russia, Ukraine and many other countries in his arsenal. Bringing the beauty of classical music to the world, he and his chamber orchestra, Soloists of Moscow, are touring with resounding success. Coming to Ukraine will be one very special concert from Bashmet, as his early years and first music lessons were spent in Lviv.

Tickets are 150 – 1500hrv. For more information call 247-2316.

It’s been a while since Green Grey has played a solo concert. Not because they ran out of ideas, fortunately, but because they have been working on something new... Interesting... Performed in the intimacy of Art Club 44, the show promises to be a cosy informal sort of thing for friends and fans of the band. Become one or the other tonight.

Admission TBA. For more information call 279-4137.

Spanish Pianist Performing in Kyiv

Global Gathering, Chaika Airfield (Petropavlovksa-Borshchahivka, 2km from Kyiv on Zhytomyr highway)

19 June at 19.00

9 July at 14.00

The National Philharmonic of Ukraine presents a concert by young Spanish pianist Eduard Fernandez who, at 30 years of age, has won some of the most prestigious awards in the classical music world. The future musician began playing the piano at the age of four, under the supervision of his grandfather. His career took off rapidly, as he garnered success first in Spain, then worldwide. Fernández covers a wide repertoire from baroque up to the most modern music, including, in spite of his youth, colossal works like all of Rachmaninoff and Chopin’s etudes, as well as Albéniz, the composer whose music he recorded for his first CD. These works by Albeniz will be performed at the Kyiv concert.

Tickets are 50 – 120hrv. For more information call 278-1697.

Global Gathering is an annual dance music festival by Angel Music Group, the company behind Godskitchen, and is a key player in the international festival market. With its first event in the UK in 2001, it continued to expand throughout the world until it reached Ukraine in 2008. This year there is a huge lineup of top electronic musicians and Djs starting with the tremendous DJ Tiesto, dance doctor Richie Hawtin, tremendous trancer Markus Schulz, house guru Laidback Luke, the fabulous Ferry Corsten and tonnes more! This IS the event of the summer – don’t miss out!

Tickets start at 349hrv for general admission and go up to 2499hrv (for 6 people) for top VIP treatment. For more information visit www.globalgathering.com.ua

“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 charttopping hits like “Communication Breakdown”, “Heartbreaker”, “Rock ‘N’ Roll”, “Kashmir” and, of course, “Stairway to Heaven”. 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 now!

Ticket are 300 – 3000hrv. For more information call 247-2316.

Gonna Make You Sweat Most Open Air Concert, Moskovskiy Bridge (Druzhby Narodiv Park)

Jazz Fusion Mike Stern Band (USA, jazz fusion), October Palace (Instytutska 1)

13 July at 20.00 Jazz has always been popular in Kyiv, especially the jazz played by famous jazzman Mike Stern. This time around, the musician is coming to Kyiv not solo, but with violinist Didier Lockwood, bassist Tom Kennedy and drummer Dave Weckl. Together they are ready to impress the Ukrainian audience with a fusion of jazz and other genres, mystically combined in the music of the Mike Stern Band.

Tickets are 150 – 500hrv. For more information call 279-1582.

18 June at 22.00 This massive dub-step party is just that: massive. It features Document One, a duo of British producers Matt King and Joe Froud, who are most certainly up there with such stars as Borgore, Bar 9, Excision and Datsik, and who always incite excitement on the dancefloor with their progressive and futuristic trends. They will not be the only ones making you sweat this evening, however. Jike, Duberman, Glacial, Crim, Myztical Ninjah, Trilobeat and more will be taking to the stage too! Enjoy the summer: get into the park.

An Invasion of Voices Kuban Cossack Choir, Palace Ukraine (V Vasylkivska 103)

16 – 17 November at 19.00 As well as being one of the most ancient, the Kuban Cossack Choir has to be one of the most prominent of Russian choirs to date. Its roots go back to the beginning of the 19th century where their artistic mastery even then was unparalleled. Receiving numerous invitations to perform the world over, the choir’s repertoire is surely something to behold as it includes moving historic ballads, common Eastern European folk songs, hymns that speak of the tragic civil war on Kazan territory as well as anthems that promote the rich and unique folk culture that was the Cossack army.

Tickets are 80 – 650hrv. For more information call 247-2316.

Bach and Composers of the 21st Century Friday Classics, Master Klass Cultural Centre (Lavrska 16)

24 June at 20.00 The Master Klass Cultural Centre is presenting an outstanding concert uniting Bach’s musical heritage and Ukrainian and Russian classic music composers of the 21st century.

The idea behind this particular amalgamation is due to a hugely multitalented cello performer/composer/ teacher, Zoltan Almashi. Works by Bach notwithstanding, Silvestrov, Pilyutikov, Sydorenko and Almashi will also be represented this evening with Mr Almashi himself on the cello.

Tickets are 30hrv. For more information call 594-1062.

Smokers Attack Ukraine Smokie (UK, rock), Palace Ukraine (V Vasylkivska 103)

29 October at 19.00 Having gone through a number of rather interesting monikers, this British band from Yorkshire found that they had something to offer Europe back in the 70s. But perhaps their real claim to fame was the lawsuit threatened by soul legend Mr Smokey Robinson, who worried that their previous name, Smokey, was too similar and would confuse audiences. Dropping the “y” and going for an “i”, the band went on to headline producing 25 albums. Check them out for their first concert here in Kyiv.

Tickets are 100 – 1200hrv. For more information call 247−2444.

Accompanying him this evening is no other than our own DJ Marika Rossa, DJ Alexandr Galickiy, DJ Virt and DJ Tim Wade. It’s a night not to be missed!

Admission is 60hrv for the ladies and 70hrv for the guys. For more information call 232-6780.

Tragic Realism Exhibition of works by Tetyana Nazarenko, Kyiv Russian Art Museum (Tereshchenkivska 9)

From 24 June Famous Moscow artist Tetyana Nazarenko has acquired the title of “tragic realist” for her acute depiction of the trials and tribulations of those of us living in the modern world. Her artistic instincts have an emotional power similar to that of primitive art, enrapturing the viewer with its deep psychological impact. Her exhibitions continue to run with great success in all four corners of the world, only confirming Nazarenko’s outstanding talent and prophetic artistic view.

Her works here in Kyiv will be available until the end of August.

overdubbing or auto-tuning – all the stuff that seems to go on a lot in music nowadays.”

This affirmation seems slightly surprising considering all of the opportunities to incorporate various technical devices available to music these days. And especially since a pretty definitive electronic beat can be found in the background of a number of their previous albums. The breakthrough tracks Virtual Insanity, Cosmic Girl, Alright, and High Times from the album Travelling Without Moving, released in 1996, is typically acknowledged as the real starting point for Jamiroquai and are pretty good examples of the use of electronics and electronic instruments in music.

When I ask him about whether they’ll be incorporating this genre more into their music or not, Jay answers, “Someone told me the other day how ahead of its time Virtual Insanity was and how relevant it still is today. I don’t know if it can change things but it can communicate a lot.”

Removing themselves from the present and looking into the future doesn’t seem like it’s been a bad step for the band. They have been an instrumental part in the progress of electronic music over the years, and continue to be an integral ingredient in the development and growth of acid jazz. It’s a mixture that works well. So well that their European tour is selling out from city to city. Could it be time to grab your best bonnet and get down to the nearest ticket office? We think so. Rock Dust Light Star may be the one thing that rocks your summer!

Take Me Out!

Porta Pia An Italian Treat

A Good Standard Another month – another TUCC meeting. This time members gathered at one of Kyiv’s newest venues, Porta Pia, an Italianowned and Italian-run restaurant with Italian Franco Schianove in charge of the kitchen.

M

y initial thoughts about Porta Pia were that it was going to be something of a high-end restaurant.

The subtlety of the sign in the street, which I have since learned has been replaced by a new larger sign, signaled to me that they were not looking for just any customer. And certainly for the quality and level of décor – everything is very white, very pristine, and very new – I am not far off.

Refreshingly Transparent So having entered and checked my coat – it is far from necessary on this beautiful sunny evening – I walk into the first dining area, a smokers’ room, which contains a bar where TUCC traditions have been restored in the shape of Gin & Tonics available for all to kick the night off just nicely. Gratefully accepting the cold glass with ice and lemon, I look around to see the interior has been well furnished with generously-sized tables and comfortable looking chairs. While the owners may well have squeezed in a few more covers had they wished, everything is generally well spaced and provides a de-

cent amount of privacy so that conversations are less likely to be overheard. It all looks very inviting.

Moving through the archway to the (non-smoking) dining area where we will be seated this evening, I am somewhat taken aback at a truly remarkable sight on my right. I am a huge fan of open kitchens: I think it adds a lot to the dining experience when you can see your food being prepared, and know for certain that the hygiene standards one would expect are being observed.

And Porta Pia has one of the biggest open kitchens I have ever seen. It’s enormous. The other plus of such transparency is that one also gets a real feel for just how hard the chefs work to put your meal in front of you, something I will certainly appreciate later.

One observation of TUCC events is that we are gathered to test the best of what the venue can throw at us for a set price per person. So I have no way of being able to tell you here and now what the actual price levels are for a regular a la carte evening. My guess is not cheap, but worth it; especially as chef Franco introduces himself and his philosophy to cooking. He explains that there has been some basic prep work done, but in fact each of the dishes we are to be treated to will be cooked on the spot as we move through the evening and the menu. A little patience is requested because of this. However, none of the gathered club members complain!

After the sommelier tells us a little about the wines we will be enjoying, we start to dig in to the simple but extremely pleasant rich Parma ham and mozzarella cheese which has been left on the tables. The only note of criticism here is that there was supposed to be a Prosecco served with this dish which we had to ask for as our table had somehow been overlooked. And, to be frank, our table is one that likes its wine: we did not, would not be missing out this evening! The matter was swiftly resolved, however, by a certain Richard Turner of the Hyatt having a word with one of the waiting staff. As we enjoyed the bubbly, Gozde Eren, also of the Hyatt, came up with a quality observation, noting that while all of the waiters and waitresses were impeccably dressed with waistcoats and ties, there were a couple of the more senior members of staff that were wearing ties but had loosened them a couple of inches and undone their top buttons. This sort of attention to detail is certainly something one has come to expect from various venues in town. Whether Porta Pia chooses to follow such standards is their own choice, but I would suggest it is not a bad standard level for any establishment to aim for.

Moving on, we are next presented with a Buratta con insalatina di rucole a pomodor-

Kyiv Life The huge crowd of walkers all together

The gang stepping out for Matteo

Robert Kulewicz and his family enjoying the sun

A Walk to Help Matteo Walk KYIV PARKS Kyiv’s ex-pat community has to be the best in the world, because when one needs help all others rally round. This was demonstrated on Sunday 6 June when a huge number of international and local Kyiv residents got together to help the Schmeidlechner family raise money for their son, Matteo, who has cerebral palsy.

The family faced the gargantuan task of raising nearly $100,000 for an operation that will allow Matteo to walk like any other child, but that task is now a lot less daunting as the sponsored charity walk raised over $25,000 of it.

The walk was a good time to catch up with friends, old and new Matteo himself, on stage in Shooters with Stuart McKenzie

Walter and Kimberly Gordon, who were very generous when it came to the charity auction

Charity Book Collection MYSTETSKY ARSENAL A gathering of books for orphanages around the country took place on 1 June and continued for four days as part of a charitable project called the Book Arsenal. More than 3000 books were collected via generous Kyiv citizens and publishing houses alike, which were then passed onto orphanages in the Kyiv, Zhytomyr, Chernihiv and Vinnytsya regions. The festival itself included a huge programme for kids which included masterclasses, art-performances and presentations of books for children of all ages, and is hoped to be an annual event from which all can benefit.

Contemporary theatre director Bohdan Zholdak

MUSEUM OF MODERN ART An unprecedented live installation/exhibition opened on 1 June presenting the phenomenon zhlobstvo, a mixture of ignorance, discourtesy, audacity and tactlessness, in all its negative social manifestations. Exhibition organiser Antin Mukharsky claims zhlobstvo is something that is characteristically Ukrainian and can be met anywhere one travels, from cafés to the metro. To combat such appalling incidences, one has to know the enemy by face, which is why Mukharsky has plugged his visitors into a world full of zhlobstvo all by means of video-retrospectives, paintings, live installations and other such surprises. The exhibition continues until 20 June. In the meantime, keep your fingers crossed that you won’t have any such experiences anywhere but in the gallery!
