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.

Ukraine’s economy will struggle to climb out of recession unless the country’s heavily-battered banking sector starts lending again – and at affordable rates. But that is still not likely to happen soon, judging from the horrible financial results that banks posted last year and the mountains of bad loans and shaky public trust they are still struggling to overcome.

KyivPost's Best of Kyiv 2009: Philippe D’Have You may not have heard of Belgian native Philippe D’Have. But if you’re a woman, you are likely to have purchased something from L’Oreal, the international cosmetics giant whose business D’Have heads in Ukraine. And while many businesses downsized during the economic recession in 2009, under D’Have’s management, L’Oreal is one of the few strong companies that seized the moment. They capitalized on the crisis by expanding business. In 2009 compared to 2008, D’Have said L’Oreal posted a 15 percent increase in unit sales in Ukraine, a 40 percent increase in turnover (in hryvnia) on top of a 25 percent increase in price, which was unavoidable in light of the hryvnia devaluation. While some competitors cut advertising, promotions and sales expansion strategies, L’Oreal increased it. D’Have, who also heads L’Oreal’s business in much of the CIS region with the exception of Russia, said the strategy paid off. The changes preserved the group’s margin while increasing market share by an estimated 2 percent, to 15 percent. Boasting of the group’s success, D’Have said there was “no crisis in Ukraine for L’Oreal” because the group “took a risk.” “We have continued to recruit people,” D’Have said. The L’Oreal group, he said, plans to increase its workforce in Ukraine in the near term from about 180 to 200 individuals. Jan 29, 2010 at 19:24 |

KyivPost's Best of Kyiv 2009: Curtis ‘B.J.’ Bjelajac Someone who is pleasant in manner and quick with a smile, visible in the community and active in helping the neediest – these are the traits the Kyiv Post searched for in giving its first-ever Spirit of Kyiv Award. The ancient capital is fortunate to have many worthy candidates, but the Kyiv Post chose Curtis “B.J.” Bjelajac as the first recipient. Bjelajac says the spirit of Kyiv means “doing what you can to help others.” That is what he did as Kyiv Lions Club president in the past year. Club members said that, under Bjelajac’s leadership, the service organization did more than in many previous years, despite the recession. The Lions Club helps children, elderly and handicapped. It also promotes international understanding. “My association with the club is a natural extension of my desire to help others,” Bjelajac said. Bjelajac, 41, came to Ukraine in 1997 from America in order to help Ukraine in its transition to a market economy. He is married and has a daughter. He works as chief financial officer for The Science and Technology Center, an organization that seeks to halt the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. Kyiv Lions Club meetings are held every second Monday of the month at 7 p.m. in Golden Gate Pub, 15 Zolotovoritska St., with more information at http://goldengatepubkiev.com. The Kyiv Lions Club website is: www.kyivlionsclub.org. Jan 29, 2010 at 18:53 |
