Ukraine 2016 News.

Almost all of the New Year holidays are over. What's new in Ukraine in 2016? There is absolutely nothing new. The part of the East is still at war and the rest of the country is becoming poorer. I really want to believe that something will change for the better soon. Those facts, we have now are very sad. You know, hope dies last…

  

News from Ukraine.

The war is as if over but the tension is still felt well anywhere here. Today’s elections show us that Ukrainian political forces are in heavy struggle. Their competition seems too keen for me. Sometimes I even think that they don’t care about Ukraine at all, the only thing they think about is their own popularity and influence here. I hope this is only my personal impression. Economy is being slowly improved. People say we will have economic troubles just after the election. Well, I hope the things won’t be so grave for us. The only thing that bothers the majority of Ukrainians is the dramatic increase of the housing and communal service tariffs.       

Eurovision 2015 Will Be Without Ukraine.

Eurovision 2015 will be without Ukraine. Our local organizators have referred to the difficult situation in the country, lack of funds and the refusal of many singers to participate in the national final. Is this right? I think isn’t! Global media inform almost nothing good about Ukraine, and foreign singers cancels their performances here, and our guys refuse probably the last chance in this year to show Ukraine not only as a country of wild and young democracy, of economic collapse and war ... Why don’t we like to create our image? Why do we have such a passive media position?

Concerts In Ukraine: ATO Period.

Russians and other foreigners ask me about concerts in Ukraine. The most of foreign stars have cancelled their concerts in Ukraine, many festivals are cancelled too. But, concerts are held, moreover tickets turn to be significantly cheaper now. People go to the concerts less, but there are no onlookers in the halls. Everyone knows where  he or she is going. People have begun to discover local talents actively.

Cold.

 

I have a cold. I'm staying at home these days. I'm writing a lot and doing my research. Runny nose and headaches torture me. I haven't got good news. But I stay optimistic.

No Politics And Dirt, Please!

Last seven months were full of politics and dirt. Russia and its friends blamed Ukraine and its friends of all the possible guilt. I never thought that so much dirt could appear. Where did they get all the shit? Why did people allow politics to brainwash them? How would they find a peaceful solution after all these negative messages? No politics and dirt, please! Be wiser! Make love, not war!
