Former Rough Rider Buckey O"Neill has a namesake cabin at this location, and the four "Mary Jane Colter Buildings" are also here. It was named by John Wesley Powell, who led a nine-man boat expedition through this site in 1869, and it has a "skywalk" maintained by the Hualapai tribe. The Pueblo people regarded this location as their holy site "Ongtupqa." Now a national park, it was called "beyond comparison" by Teddy Roosevelt.

Edición Web: 1988-2041 (www.retos.org) Current State and Prospects of Development of the Sports System of Ukraine: Legal Aspects Estado actual y perspectivas de desarrollo del sistema deportivo de Ucrania: aspectos legales *Maxym Tkalych, **Iryna Davydova, **Yuliia Tolmachevska *Zaporizhzhia National University (Ucrania), **National University «Odesa Law Academy», (Ucrania) Abstract: The article analyzes the current state of the sports organization system in Ukraine. The authors of the article argue that the sports system in Ukraine needs to be reformed in light of current trends in world sports. First and foremost, the need for regulatory and institutional development of the professional sport, which can have a positive impact on the development of the entire sports system of Ukraine. Currently, the dominant position in Ukrainian sport is occupied by the state and non-governmental organizations. This approach was justified under the conditions of a planned economy during the Soviet Union, but it is now outdated and hinders the development of Ukrainian sport.Instead, modern sport in developed countries is primarily driven by private initiative and the creation of appropriate conditions for a variety of private law entities to promote entrepreneurial activity in sport. The purpose of the article is to identify the key institutional and legal factors of the domestic sports system that negatively affect its development. Adequate regulatory support for commercial sports will give additional funds in domestic sports, which inevitably plays a role in improving sports achievements and restoring Ukraine’s position in the world sports arena.

  • Ukraine - Germany: Waiting for "Insights"
    Ukraine - Germany: waiting for "insights" Vol. 4, No. 117, June 1, 1998 When visiting Bonn, Leonid Kuchma announced his decision to run for the second term in office. Apparently, this represents a particular habit of Ukrainian decision-makers, the President included, to make such statements abroad: Kuchma's first announcement that he would "seek re-election in October 1999" appeared in the French newspaper Le Monde on October 15, 1996. Meanwhile, Leonid Kuchma will have to deal with other serious issues during his visit: as he insisted at the time of German president Roman Herzog's visit to Kyiv, "only a blind cannot but see positive changes in Ukraine's economy." Eighteen months after that visit, the Ukrainian president will have to take enormous effort to ensure that the Germans do see the promised progress. Leonid Kuchma's visit to Germany in May 1998, and his talks with German Chancellor Helmut Kohl represent only one instance in relations of the two top executive officials which began when Leonid Kuchma was Prime Minister of Ukraine. The German chancellor visited Ukraine on June 9-10, 1993, at the height of the most significant miners' strike of this decade. After talks with President Kravchuk, Speaker Ivan Pliushch, Prime Minister Leonid Kuchma and Foreign Minister Anatoly Zlenko, helmut Kohl told at the final press conference that he would advocate easing access for Ukrainian goods to European markets at the European Community forum in Kopenhagen. Though, Ukraine could hardly expect substantial financial assistance from Germany at that time, after Mr. Kohl advised this country to develop "close relations" with the IMF and the World Bank.

  • Kyiv, Ukraine: the City of Domes and Demons from the Collapse Of
    Roman Adrian Roman Cybriwsky Kyiv, Ukraine is a pioneering case study of urban change from socialism to the hard edge of a market economy after the Soviet collapse. It looks in detail at the changing social geography of the city, and on critical problems such as corruption, social inequality, sex tourism, and destruction of historical ambience by greedy developers. The book is based on fieldwork and an insider’s knowledge of the city, and is engagingly written. Roman Adrian Cybriwsky is Professor of Geography and Urban Studies at Temple University in Philadelphia, USA, and former Ukraine Kyiv, Fulbright Scholar at the National University of Kyiv Mohyla Academy. He divides his time between Philadelphia, Kyiv, and Tokyo, about which he has also written books. “Roman Cybriwsky knows this city and its people, speaks their language, feels their frustrations with its opportunist and corrupt post-Soviet public figures Roman Adrian Cybriwsky who have bankrupted this land morally and economically. He has produced a rich urban ethnography stoked by embers of authorial rage.” — John Charles Western, Professor of Geography, Syracuse University, USA “Kyiv, Ukraine is an interdisciplinary tour de force: a scholarly book that is Kyiv, Ukraine also an anthropological and sociological study of Kyivites, a guide to Kyiv and its society, politics, and culture, and a journalistic investigation of the city’s darkest secrets. At this time of crisis in Ukraine, the book is indispensable.” — Alexander Motyl, Professor of Political Science, Rutgers University, USA The City of Domes and Demons “Filled with personal observations by a highly trained and intelligent urbanist, Kyiv, Ukraine is a beautiful and powerful work that reveals from the Collapse of Socialism profound truths about a city we all need to know better.” — Blair A.

    Pro Bono Practices and Opportunities in Ukraine 1 I. Introduction While the provision of pro bono legal services in Ukraine remains limited compared to certain Western countries, access to pro bono legal services has continued to increase over the last several years. Since the Euromaidan Revolution in 2014 and the conflicts in Crimea and Eastern Ukraine, numerous pro bono initiatives have been implemented in Ukraine aimed at assisting protesters, volunteers and internally displaced persons. In addition, significant reform of the legal system in Ukraine, continued proliferation of NGO activity and the adoption of international standards and traditions in the legal profession have laid a stronger foundation for pro bono culture in recent years. Although access may still be limited, both national and international law firms and solo practitioners in Ukraine have more opportunities than ever to provide pro bono legal services, and as a result Ukrainian citizens and residents have more access to these services than ever before. II. Overview of Pro Bono Practices (a) Professional Regulation 1. Describe the laws/rules that regulate the provision of The legal profession in Ukraine is comprised of legal services? licensed attorneys (“advocates”) and unlicensed lawyers (“jurists”). The provision of legal services by advocates is regulated by the Law of Ukraine “On the Bar and Legal Practice.” 2 This law sets out the general requirements for advocates as well as their rights, duties and professional liability. The provision of legal services by jurists is not regulated by any specific law and is governed by sections of the Ukrainian Civil Code, including those on representation and agreements on the provision of services.
