In the course of the meeting, reported Interfax-Ukraine, it was noted that the president and the government are taking a number of preventive measures to ease social tensions; these measures were not defined, however. One source close to the presidential administration noted that Ukrainian offi- cials will seek aid from international financial organizations and governments of the G-7 countries to overcome the payments crisis in Ukraine. But it may take days, if not weeks, for these problems to be resolved. In the meantime, miners from the Donetske region, where 42 coal enterprises are striking, since July 3 have been blocking main thoroughfares into the city. On July 11 they began staging sit-ins and felling trees from the nearby forests to block railroad tracks leading into this industrial city. Interfax-Ukraine reported that thousands of people were stranded at the railway station, sweltering in the Marta Kolomayets scorching sun.

  • A President's Portrait in Domestic Protest
    A President’s Portrait in Domestic Protest: 133 The Anatomy of Hate A President’s Portrait in Domestic Protest: The Anatomy of Hate Natalia Lysiuk Taras Shevchenko National University of Kiev Kiev, Ukraine Abstract The extreme level of tension during the Euromaidan in Ukraine has caused a real explosion of urban post-folklore creativity. These folklore forms have many distinctive features of traditional folklore, but they are also characterized by their means of transmission. For instance, anonymous inscriptions could appear anywhere. Such texts have their own dramaturgy, and they recreate the development of the Euromaidan events (from simple appeals to give people an opportunity to determine their own destiny to openly hostile discourse that portrayed the former President of Ukraine, Victor Yanukovich, as the main enemy of the Euromaidan). Among those attested: distortions of Yanukovich’s name; demonstration of contempt for his image; insults; mention of his criminal past and ongoing corruption; and prophecies of his fate. One of the defining features of such texts is the violation of prohibitions on the use of dysphemisms and vulgarity as a verbal weapon against an enemy. We will also discuss the basic functions of protest folklore and hate speech. Crowds on the Maidan (author’s photo) The Euromaidan was the second Ukrainian revolution of this century. It was a public protest that took place in the main Kiev’s square Maidan Nezalezhnosti (Maidan) from November 2013 until February 2014. It was characterized by an unprecedented rise of patriotism and strengthening of national identity (as reflected in the wide usage of national colors, symbols, and images).

During a public meeting on 20 July between Reporters Without Borders and members of the Ukrainian parliament’s Committee of Enquiry into Freedom of Expression, parliamentarian Andrei Shevchenko deplored not only the increase in press freedom violations but also, and above all, the disturbing and challenging lack of reaction from the government. The data gathered by the organisation in the course of its monitoring of Ukraine confirms that there has been a significant increase in reports of press freedom violations since Viktor Yanukovych’s election as president in February. LEGISlaTIVE ISSUES The government’s desire to control journalists is reflected in the legislative domain.

  • 'Civil Democratic Control' of Armed Forces in Ukraine Conflict Studies Research Centre ISBN 1-903584-20-5 January 2001 G90
    Conflict Studies Research Centre G90 SECURITY, DEMOCRACY AND ‘CIVIL DEMOCRATIC CONTROL’ OF ARMED FORCES IN UKRAINE James Sherr In the former Soviet Union, control of armed forces by civilians does not guarantee 'civil democratic control', let alone guarantee that armies and security services will serve the declared aims of the state. Ukraine's 1997 National Security Concept rightly connected the growth of civil democratic control with the strengthening of civil society. Although parliament and civilian experts have gained influence in Ukraine's defence system, the trend has been towards stronger presidential control rather than democratic control. MOD armed forces are now undergoing serious and essential reform; they are also becoming more transparent and more accustomed to outside scrutiny. But until these trends embrace Internal Troops and other 'non military formations', Ukraine will not possess an integrated and properly controlled national security system. The notion that ‘civilian control over the military is a pre-requisite for the normal functioning of a civilised state’ has become one of the orthodoxies of our time.1 Since the collapse of the USSR, this orthodoxy has been given formal expression in numerous state and inter-state documents, including NATO’s 1994 Partnership for Peace Framework Document. It has also assumed a contractual form in the Charter on a Distinctive Partnership between Ukraine and NATO (1997) and a quasi-legal form in the OSCE Code of Conduct Regarding Military-Political Aspects of Security (1994). Reiterated, echoed and amplified as the orthodoxy is, the fact is that it calls for more reflection than it has received. Where Ukraine and other countries of the former USSR are concerned, reflection is required for a number of reasons.

  • Panam Travel
    Item No. 31 April 26, 2011 To: The Board of Governors of Exhibition Place ACTION REQUIRED From: Dianne Young, Chief Executive Officer Subject: Observer Program: Guadalajara 2011 Pan/Parapan American Games Summary: This report recommends that a representative of Exhibition Place’s Pan Am Project Team join the City’s TO2015 Observer Program to attend the 2011 Pan American Games (October 12th to 30th) taking place in Guadalajara, Mexico. Recommendations: It is recommended that the Board approve travel by Jeff Gay, Director of Event Management Services, to the 2011 Pan/Parapan American Games in Guadalajara, Mexico, with the City’s TO2015 Observer Program in order for Exhibition Place to better assist with planning and preparing for the Toronto 2015 Pan/Parapan American Games. Financial Impact: Increased tourism to Guadalajara for the 2011 Pan/Parapan American Games will cause increased demand for flights and hotel rooms and will cause costs to rise. For this reason it is expected that travel costs may be in excess of $3,500, but will not exceed $4,000, and that pre- approval from the Board will be required. Decision History: On Friday, November 6, 2009, it was announced that Toronto won in its bid to host the 2015 Pan/Parapan American Games. Further to the announcement, City departments, agencies and boards with a role in planning for the games have designated lead representatives to become members of the City’s interdivisional Pan Am Project Team. Dianne Young is Exhibition Places’ representative on the City’s Project Team. Issue Background: Exhibition Place has been selected as a major site for the 2015 Pan/Parapan American Games and it would be extremely useful if a member of the Exhibition Place staff could join the City Team as an Observer along with representatives of the Federal and Provincial governments.
