So far, I haven’t seen any defectors. And btw, I don’t see Ukraine as being a very small country.<BR/><BR/><BR/>¡Hola Abel! <BR/><BR/>If you plan to spend a few months in Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine, I hope you will study Ukrainian! <BR/><BR/>You might be interested in contacting the following universities: National Taras Shevchenko University of Kyiv, the National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy, Kyiv National Linguistic University, Kyiv National Economic University, the National Technical University of Ukraine, the National Aviation University, and Kyiv National University of Construction and Architecture. For Ukrainian/Russian courses, try <A HREF="http://www.ih.kiev.ua/en/russian.htm" REL="nofollow">this</A>.<BR/><BR/>¡Bienvenido a Kyiv!<BR/><BR/><BR/>Anonymous, I agree about Yushchenko, but I have to keep an “open mind” on every one of them. Better safe than sorry.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Elmer, let’s see how this story evolves. Two SBU operatives blew the whistle today claiming that the Presidential Secretariat has dragged the organization into a witch-hunt against Tymoshenko. Naturally, the top brass at the SBU denied the allegation.Tarashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18139892487573795049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19297350.post-26619900922995782142008-08-28T04:52:00.000+03:002008-08-28T04:52:00.000+03:00The world is made up of spheres of influence. No s...The world is made up of spheres of influence. No small country is really sovereign. At least Russia is straight forward about it's power. You think the US cares about your freedom and democracy? Don't you know Pinochet? Suharto? The west is becoming more tyrannical by the day. Russia isn't actually any worse. It has energy security and cultural ties to Ukraine. The US is crafty. They're practiced at making the people think they're free while they take away our rights day by day and suck our blood through loan interest & engineered inflation. As long as Europe relies on the US for security, those are your options, Russia or America. Maybe Tymoshenko should be praised as a patriot. No big power has ever had a clean record, Don't be naive that the west offers freedom or any better deal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19297350.post-18094829380953211102008-08-28T01:59:00.000+03:002008-08-28T01:59:00.000+03:00Hello Taras and everybody: I am Abel, a guy from B...Hello Taras and everybody: <BR/>I am Abel, a guy from Barcelona, who wanted to ask a favour in case somebody of you could help me. <BR/>In October I am moving to Kiev for some months with intention to live with my girl, to study Russian more seriously(have studied it in Barcelona during 2 years), and to work, principle like professor of Spanish language.

She might not have been in Sardinia, which technically may be true. So has the question been asked by journalists - were you on yachts together with the listed individuals, and, if so, what did you discuss?<BR/><BR/>Yushchenko, through his surrogates, has issued shrill, histrionic accusations all over the place lately, including the bizarre episode with Zhvania ("it was Zhvania, godfather to my children, who poisoned me"), and "treason" against Tymoshenko.<BR/><BR/>Zerkalo Nedeli has an article listed 5 of 7 charges relating to "treason" that have been submitted somewhere, against Tymoshenko. But if you read the "charges," they sound more like policy and political differences.<BR/><BR/>As far as I can see, Yushchenko is looking for a miracle to prop up another presidential re-election bid. But tossing about histrionic, shrieking accusations left and right is no way to do it - unless they're true.<BR/><BR/>And - Yushchenko would not have had to resort to shrill accusations had he followed through on the Orange Revolution. He had the majority of the people in the palm of his hand, he had their trust, their loyalty, their hopes, hearts, souls and minds. Instead, he blew it, and to this date, he has not explained in any coherent fashion what he was trying to do when he made the deal with the Kuchmists from the Party of Regions, the pro-rooshans who once again want totalitarian rashan government in Ukraine.<BR/><BR/>Yushchenko is right to support Georgia and seek entry to NATO, in the face of the thug kleptocrats in the Kremlin. But he would have been in much better position - had he simply followed through on the Orange Revolution.<BR/><BR/>Now he's got to rely on all those beggars who sold their votes to Chernovetsky (supported by Yushchenko) in the mayoral election in Kyiv, and all the other Ukrainians who will sell their soul to the first comer for $100 - or in the case of the Party of Regions, a few hundred million, plus an additional amount going to rasha.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
