Бог помагає Українії !

Yulia looks like a Peace Lilly among all those thrones. A lesson for the information age Soviets running Ukraine, don't pick on an expert who knows how to portray innocence in photos. A photo is worth a thousand words and most people today won't read more then ten words.

Слава Українії !

A photo can also be very misleading. Do not belive your eyes, for they see what you wish to see.

Exactly.

Ukraine is being lead by actors hiding the reality because no one wants to take the time to read. If you don't know your history you may make the same mistakes when you relive it.
