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.

It’s never been clear to me just what Europe’s 'boycott'of Euro 2012 is for. What ill deed is it meant to flag up? Is it the conviction and imprisonment of Yulia Tymoshenko? Her medical treatment in prison? Or the ‘overall human rights situation’? May 16 at 08:44 |

This time, I have to start with a frank disclosure. For 40 years, I have been a faithful reader of the Kyiv-based journal “Vsesvit” (“The World”). For more than 30 years, I have been one of its contributors. For two decades, I have been a staff editor there, ending my career in 1994 as a deputy editor-in-chief. And today, after moving to academia, I still remain a committed reader, author, and member of the editorial board. May 10 at 21:40 | Mykola Riabchuk |
