Quote of the day
“English fans need to know that if they try to mess with Ukrainian women then we will try to mess with them. The sex industry exploits women who are so poor and often uneducated. That is why we are going to try to attack every match.”
Inna Shevchenko, a member of Femen, the women's group that stages topless protests against men who come to Ukraine for sex tourism.

Editor's Note: The following blog can be found here. When my friend John Demjanjuk fell asleep in the hands of the Lord, peacefully in his bed on March 17 in a Bad Feilnbach nursing home, Bavaria, Southern Germany, it brought to an end a 35-year witch hunt. The result is that he is unquestionably an innocent man. Apr 11 at 10:01 | Anthony Schlega |

Ukraine has become a society riddled with comfortably managed criminal pursuits. It has been such for some time, not just with the advent of today’s government of the Regions Party. Most Ukrainians discover it from own experience as they try to survive in a social culture where ethical values that are supposed to guide the public policy is a joke. For those who begin from scratch -- I mean the naive visitors or foreign investors – some deft reading beforehand is a way to start. Although not exactly a beginner, I have been impressed by widely reported mega-scandals, accepted by many with a shrug of shoulder. Apr 10 at 17:34 | Boris Danik |

More than 20 years after the fall of the Berlin wall Bulgaria has been a member of the EU for five years, of NATO for more but not of the OECD (Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development). Nevertheless, if looked from above, everyone would think that this is the country that can be a role model for its neighbours from the Western Balkans and the Eastern Partnership to avoid the mistakes from the transition. This is what I thought while fighting to enter as not accredited journalist to the national parliament in Bulgaria to attend a rare event - inter parliamentary meeting Bulgaria-Ukraine. Who else if not Bulgaria could point to Ukraine where it can stumble over? Bulgaria is not a country from Central Europe, which in the past and during the long and painful period of the Cold War had the benevolent economic and political influence of Western Europe.

Go see Agnieszka Holland’s In Darkness, both because it’s an excellent film about the Holocaust in wartime Lviv and because it demonstrates just how deeply rooted some ethnic stereotypes can be. The story is simple: an anti-Semitic Polish sewer worker and part-time crook, Poldek Socha, finds himself in the unexpected position of hiding a group of Jews in Lviv’s sewers. At first, he does so only for money. In time, he abandons his anti-Semitism and acts with altruism. The film ends with the liberation of Lviv by the Soviets and the emergence of the surviving Jews from the sewers. “These are my Jews!” Socha beams. “These are my Jews!” Read the story here.

When the news of Facebook expecting to fetch north of $75 billion through its initial public offering this year broke, I decided to quit the network. To some, it seemed like a social suicide. To me, it meant breaking free. Apr 9 at 13:39 | Yuliya Popova |

Ukraine initialled on March 30 a landmark Association Agreement with the EU and a Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Agreement. Although this is only a technical step before the official signature, the Commission said the move was important for "keeping the momentum" in relations with Kyiv. Both EU and Ukrainian officials welcomed the initialling of the documents, totaling more than 1,000 pages. The event concludes five years of difficult negotiations, and there is no certainty when deals would be formally signed. Read more here. Apr 2 at 16:36 |
