Ukrainian WeeHy Journalist's notebook Time warp in Ukraine by Marta Kolomayets Three weeks ago in this space we informed our readers of the shoddy level Kiev Press Bureau of journalism practiced at Time magazine, which had just published a dramatic photo of an alleged rape victim. The caption screamed: "Traditions of atrocity: A Jewish girl raped by Ukrainians in Lvov, Poland, in 1945." At that time we questioned the accuracy of the information in the An evolution in Ukraine caption and the news magazine's judgement in using a photograph about which specific information was lacking, to say the least.
