  New danger for Yulia Tymoshenko

  May 17, 2013, 7:57 p.m.

  There is a new danger for Yulia Tymoshenko hanging in the air. Just a couple of weeks ago Ukraine seemed to have a window of opportunity to let her walk free, by having President Viktor Yanukovych issue a pardon. As of Wednesday, though, it looks like the former Prime Minister is headed for a life sentence in the case of a 1996 mafia-style murder.

  Ukraine’s famed May break will be particularly impressive this year, with four days off work – May 1, 2, 6 and 9. With the right job or a benevolent boss, a clever worker can parlay this into 12 paid days off, including weekends. It’s a good way to start the month.

  Kyiv Post will thrive as long as it stays true to its journalistic ideals

  April 26, 2013, 12:25 a.m.

  It’s fitting that Kyiv hosted a conference on how to sustain quality journalism in the digital age during my last days as chief editor of the Kyiv Post. One of the hardest things I’ll do in my life will come on April 30, when I walk out of this newspaper. I’ve spent the last five years here and been blessed with the good fortune and excellent judgment to hire every journalist in the newsroom. So the newspaper that I love remains in very good hands.

  A dangerous “antifascist” card

  May 19, 2013, 3:42 p.m.

  Unlike administrative resources, thugs and cynical rhetoric, imagination was lacking among those who thought up the 18 May “antifascist demonstration” in Kyiv. It also lacked credibility. It was difficult not to suspect that the police had received prior instructions when they estimated the number of “antifascists” brought out by the ruling Party of the Regions as 10 times higher than the participants in the opposition “Rise, Ukraine!” rally (44,000 vs. 4,000). Another worrying incident occurred when an “antifascist” lout beat up a female journalist and cameraman.
