S AVIN G S Dear Graduates, Parents and Friends of Brown: Like America’s Mississippi River or Germany’s Rhine, Ukraine’s Dnieper River has defined a nation. Sweeping across the Ukrainian countryside, it has traced a broad course through Ukrainian history. Intrepid Viking warrior-merchants once plied its waters, seeking trade routes to the Black Sea and Constantinople. Along its banks rose the stately city of Kiev, and across the Dnieper’s fertile plains Cossack horsemen once rode. Join us on an 11-night voyage on the Dnieper River and the Black Sea aboard the M.S. DNIEPER PRINCESS, the finest ship cruising Ukrainian waterways. From ancient Kiev, a thriving political, religious, cultural and commercial center when Moscow was little more than a village, sail south along the Dnieper through a landscape of tranquil beauty, passing through wooded hills, endless steppes and lush farmlands. Cross the Black Sea to the Crimean Peninsula, a popular retreat since the days of the czars, and to the cosmopolitan seaport of Odessa, Ukraine’s gateway to Turkey and the lands of the Eastern Mediterranean. This unique itinerary introduces you to the seldom-seen treasures of a nation reasserting its identity and reclaiming its roots as it rises from seven decades of Soviet domination.

  • Our Ukraine and Viktor Yushchenko Revive Their Fortunes
    OUR UKRAINE AND VIKTOR YUSHCHENKO REVIVE THEIR FORTUNES By Taras Kuzio Thursday, April 19, 2007 Eurasian Daily Monitor On April 18, the opposition Yulia Tymoshenko (BYuT) and Our Ukraine blocs permanently withdrew their deputies from Ukraine’s parliament. Together, the factions account for 202 of the Rada’s 450 deputies. With no constitutional majority, the parliament -- which was disbanded by presidential decree on April 2 -- has no legal standing. A minimum of 300 deputies is required for parliament to constitutionally operate. This move is the culmination of eight months of political fighting between Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovych and his government and the disunited and partially discredited opposition. But now the opposition has transformed into an energized political force. Reflecting this growing confidence, President Viktor Yushchenko, Our Ukraine, and Yuriy Lutsenko’s People’s Self-Defense movement no longer oppose early elections. Opposition unity was made possible by a shift in the balance of power within Our Ukraine and an effort to reach out to the Tymoshenko bloc. BYuT had always been in opposition to the Anti-Crisis Coalition (ACC) and had never supported a grand coalition with Yanukovych’s Party of Regions. Following the 2004 Orange Revolution, the “Liubi Druzi” (business cronies or “Dear Friends”) wing of Our Ukraine had dominated, and then-prime minister Yuriy Yekhanurov disastrously led it during the 2006 parliamentary elections. The “Liubi Druzi” supported a grand coalition -- and opposed Yulia Tymoshenko -- while the national-democratic wing backed an Orange coalition. Both coalition variants were negotiated simultaneously from April-June 2006 but neither succeeded, and the ACC was established following the defection of the Socialist Party.
