Do not underestimate the lurkers. There is a lot of people who
are sitting in "read only" mode.
Also don't forget that all usenet news is archived by google forever,
which means people will be able to find the article through search
even if they have never "visited" this news group and don't even know
that Usenet exists.
So, cheer up and send some interesting messages. It will be read
by someone...

After all Slawko is a lurker.
A lot of people are lurking this days.
There is just not always a lot that can be discussed with a feeling
that we are not just passing time. And time is getting more
tight for some reason.
What are the recent significant events around Ukraine?
1) Parlament approved all laws required to enter WTO - yawn, it was
clear that they would do it sooner or later. In fact that is the
only reason Regions even agreed to un-block the proceeding.
2) Putin is saying to Bush that Ukraine is not really a state... Well,
of cause he would think so, as he expressed his regret about Soviet
Union decommissioning treaty multiple times before. That this sentiment
came out on such a high level just makes it more clear why Ukraine needs
to join NATO.
What is curious, that treat of forcefully taking something away from
Ukrainian territory is _equally_ terrifying and insulting to people in
the east or west of the country. So it will in fact unite the people and
make everyone more aware of what advantages NATO really brings.
3) Kiev mayor re-elections... YAWN... the city is doing great, why
anybody would vote for anyone but Chernovezky is a great mystery.
4) In fact, what shocked me personally, is the attack by Yushenko on
University dean Skopenko. Skopenko has been in this position for last
30 years, and have maintained University at highest level of technical
competitiveness. He is a chemist and was not at all into politics.
If anything, University students were always in the front-lines of
democratic changes and nationalist movement, with silent encouragement
of the professors.
Why this sudden controversy? Is it about inability to guaranty
teaching in Ukrainian? But this is not an easy task to find
appropriate people, if he is to maintain technical professiency of the
proffessors as a priority. If this is the reason, I want to express
my strong opposition to this action. I hope Skopenko will win the
re-election. Hands off the independence of the University!
Long live Chemists! Screw the lawyers!
See, I did find something I am passionate about after all!
:-)
I guess we just have to try...

Its sickening to read all the other stuff on CSU.
This is certainly very ambitious but you might get lucky with this one.
Apparently there are quite a bit of Ukrainian workers in Italian farms,
and many of them hold engineering and wait, maybe even literature degree.
Reasonable assumption is that they learned Italian and still
curious about the literature, and - bingo, you have your pen-pal.
You will need to sent the book to the person in question however,
as I am sure it is both expensive and not easily available in Italy.
In Kiev's Petrovka book market, at the other hand, it is certainly easy
to buy but no Italian speakers to do the comparative analysis.
Btw is Italian so well preserved from Dante's times that you can
still read it in original with normal language skills?

Evgenij
How do you know that? And how do you evaluate the translations that you
can get on your webtv.

Well then don't read it. :-)
In Ukrainian that would be непоседющий
That's right skip the articles that are irrelevant and off topic.
And don't feed the trolls.

Good of you not to help them. :-)
Keep up the good work.

Considering that the group is in hierarchy "culture", I think we should
look at Ukrainian culture even outside Ukraine.
One striking example that I observe locally in Dallas is the
Ukrainian dance group Zorya.
http://www.uast.org/Zoria/index.htm
This group was started by Alex and Val Bezney, in
the 1975, and is alive an well today under care of
Andrew Chobany. With separate senior and
junior groups the generation continuity flourishes.
Over the years, group accumulated many dedicated fans. They are giving
performances in all fairs and festivals in Texas. This way thousand of
people are exposed to Ukrainian culture. Many actually learn that
Ukraine exists, that it is has cossacks, farmers, beautiful
costumes and electrifying dances.
Group performances during events of Ukrainian community gives
a perfect effect of unifying people around national idea, and practices
bring together a "club" of many different Ukrainians - these
who speak and does not speak Ukrainian, who grew up in
present day Ukraine or just trying to figure out some 3-4 generations
far roots.
Now that is some free national advertisement and hand-on information
that beats the high-budget initiatives to introduce Ukraine to USA
investors. I think Ukrainian culture officials (and maybe president
himself) should recognize and support Zorya and similar cultural centers
abroad and make people inside Ukrain aware of their existance.

Is it possible to slit the throat of a child and quote from
Dante Alighieri's at the same time?
Apparenty yes, the uke banderovtsy can do it.
At least those cultured ones like that Slavko, who aches in his arse
when sat up for too long.
Never mind, chaps, the devil will have you, pretty soon
