Sporting boycotts are back in fashion. Azerbaijan hosts theEurovision Song Contest on 26 May, with Armenia predictably absent. Russia is beset byCircassian activists claiming that the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics are desecrating their ancestral homeland. But Ukraine is on the receiving end of thebitterest current campaign, in the run-up to the European Championship football finalsbeginning on 8 June.

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 |
