(Continued from page 1) said. Father Gudziak and Father Ihumen Yevstratii Zoria, the press secretary of Patriarch Filaret of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church – Kyiv Patriarchate, both character- ized the protesters as political provocateurs who don’t represent the followers of the Moscow Patriarchate in Ukraine. “These are not believers of the Moscow Patriarchate – these are political party members who present them- selves as Orthodox Christians,” Father Yevstratii said. “Orthodox Christians don’t do these things because God said, ‘They will recognize that you are my students because you have love within you.’ ” Not all were political protesters, however, because a handful of Russian Orthodox priests participated in the protest and even held a liturgy at the protest site, on their side of the fence barricade. The protesters began gathering two hours before the liturgy, waving flags of the Progressive Socialist Party, the Derzhava political party and Bratstvo, as well as blue and white flags symbolizing the Party of the Regions. One young man even waved a Russian flag. The Ukrainian Catholics were setting up an outdoor altar at the cathedral’s north side. During the liturgy hundreds of worshippers even stood on sand because the cathedral is still a construction site. As with any Kyiv construction project, a long green picket fence surrounded the cathedral’s construction Zenon Zawada area. Bells are rung at the divine liturgy's conclusion.

The site’s main entrance was a 10-foot-wide gap that protesters could have easily blocked, so police set up a metal fence barricade to prevent them from approaching too close. The officers then lined up along the waist-high fence that became the conflict’s front lines as the two sides debated, shouted and even scuffled with each other amidst the officers. Kerchiefed older women were the most aggressive of the protesters, approaching the security barrier clutching icons and shouting at the Ukrainian Catholics. “Your grandfathers and ancestors were Orthodox!” they shouted. “We are all Orthodox, and so is Russia and Belarus!” Those phrases paled in comparison to the avalanche of slurs and chants from other protesters’ such as “Banderites out of Ukraine,” “Banderstad,” “Fascists,” “Inquisitors” and “Uniates get out.” For the most part, Ukrainian Catholics turned the other cheek. However, debates, shouting matches and minor scuffles did arise. When one group of protesters shouted, “Banderivtsi back to Halychyna,” a Ukrainian Catholic responded, “And you go to Russia.” A few Ukrainian Catholic priests approached the pro- testers in an attempt at dialogue. “Come in here and let’s pray together,” one priest beseeched an angry “babushka.” A half-hour before the liturgy, Russian Orthodox priests began their own liturgy from megaphones installed on the back of a flatbed-like truck. In the days leading up to the event, members of the radical political group Bratstvo vowed not to let the Ukrainian Catholic liturgy begin. However, such threats of “excesses” proved empty as no more than 20 members of the group showed up at the event, the majority of then teenagers. Their leader, Dmytro Korchynskyi, was not even present. The protesters made a last-ditch orchestrated attempt at stirring up conflict before the liturgy’s start, and sev- eral minor scuffles erupted as a result, with some shov- ing and punching. One group of protesters tried locking arms to prevent the Catholics from entering the area where the liturgy was to be celebrated. A group of women, one of whom was wearing a “Ukraine Without Yushchenko” T-shirt, stood in front of the entrance, heckling and taunting worshippers. One woman was in tears after walking past the hecklers. Once the liturgy began, the protesting Orthodox priests broke their service at several intervals to allow politicians to deliver their anti-Halychyna speeches through megaphones. The hate speech was audible during the divine litur- gy, particularly when Ukrainian Catholic worshippers paused for prayer or had quiet moments, such as Cardinal Husar’s sermon and the “Confession of Faith.” Natalia Vitrenko, leader of the Progressive Socialist Ukrainian Catholics gathered for the liturgy held next to the Patriarchal Cathedral of Christ's Resurrection Party, and Hennadii Vasiliev, the former procurator gen- that is under construction. eral who founded the Derzhava Party, led the vitriol.

Nevertheless, budget revenues to the state. The new CEO, Oleksii Ivchenko, is a Yushchenko loyalist. Fearing criminal charges, outgoing Naftohaz Ukrainy CEO Yurii Boiko “purchased” the marginal Republican Party of Ukraine (RPU) as a protective political roof. The RPU has no ratings and is not currently being courted as an ally by any well-known political party for the 2006 election. Outgoing Foreign Affairs Minister Konstyantin Gryshchenko agreed to become the RPU’s foreign affairs spokesman. On a recent visit to Washington he unsuccessfully attempted to convince policy-makers that the RPU is a Ukrainian equivalent of the U.S. Republican Party (Washington Times, June 11). RosUkrEnergo was created in summer 2004 to replace Eural TransGas. Its aim is to act as an intermediary between Gazprom and Naftohaz Ukrainy to tran- sit Turkmen gas through Russia into Ukraine. Eural TransGas managers moved over to RosUkrEnergo. Gazprom, through its Swiss-registered ARosgas Holding A.G., owns 50 percent of RosUkrEnergo. The remaining half is owned by Centragas Holding, an Austrian registered company 100 percent owned by Raiffeisen Investment A.G. Centragas CEO Wolfgang Putschek has denied that RosUkrEnergo has any links to Mr. Mogilevich (Financial Times, July 27). In a letter to President Yushchenko, Mr. Putschek denied cate- gorically that Mr. Mogilevich or any other organized crime boss had ties to RosUkrEnergo. Molgilevuch has himself denied he has any links to RosUkrEnergo or was using it to launder funds (Ukrayinska Pravda, August 1). Accusations of high-level corruption by the Putin and Kuchma administrations and links to organized crime have led to calls by Prime Minister Tymoshenko to end the use of intermediaries to bring Turkmen gas to Ukraine. “I am consis- tently working so that there will be no intermediary between Ukraine and Turkmenistan,” Ms. Tymoshenko revealed (Ukrayinska Pravda, July 2). Ms. Tymoshenko has also refused to countenance working with RosUkrEnergo since she believes it was established, with numerous legal infringements. Trade in Turkmen gas should be undertaken direct- ly by Naftohaz Ukrainy with Russia and Turkmenistan, but without the use of an intermediary (Ukrayinska Pravda, July 13). This though, may be easier said than done. No. 35 THE UKRAINIAN WEEKLY SUNDAY, AUGUST 28, 2005 19

Paid Advertisement The Washington Group PRESIDENT’S REPORT June 5, 2005

This will be my last annual President’s report as I do not plan to seek another term of office. I have had the distinct honor and pleasure to be President of The Washington Group (TWG) for over 5 years, having first been elected President in June 2000, and it is now time to turn over the helm to a member of the younger generation. I am very glad to report that The Washington Group, as usual, had a very active, interesting and productive year sponsoring numerous diverse political, social, educational and cultural activities. All of the events were very well attended. I do not plan to enumerate each and every TWG event in my report as there are too many events to mention. Furthermore, most of these events will be discussed in reports of other officers. I do plan to men- tion a few events that, in my opinion, are of special note. There is no question that this year’s event of the year, maybe of all time, was TWG’s 20th Anniversary Leadership Conference and Banquet in June 2004 at the Key Bridge Marriott. it was an affair to remember. The theme of the conference was “TWG at 20: Reflection, Renewal and Celebration”. The conference reflected on the events that occurred during TWG’s 20 year history. One of the highlights of the conference was the Ambassador’s Forum which focused and reflected on the history of U.S.–Ukraine relations as seen through the eyes of Ambassadors Oleh Bilorus, William G. Miller and Steven Pifer. During the banquet, a slide show organized by Natalie Sluzar allowed conference participants to reflect on TWG’s history and on the role many of them played in TWG events. At the conference, I had the pleasure of presneting TWG Honorary Memberships to both the current Ambasador to the U.S., Mykhailo Reznik, and to the former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine, Steven Pifer. The featured speakers at the conference were General Kostyantyn Morozov, Ukraine’s first defense minister, and Ambassador Mykhailo Reznik. The conference was pre- ceded by an elegant reception sponsored by TWG and hosted by the Embassy of Ukraine. Among some of the other more notable events that TWG sponsored this year included presentations by Hon. Borys Tarasiuk, the present Foreign Minister of Ukraine, on the political situation in Ukraine, Ambassador Mykhailo Reznik on U.S.–Ukraine rela- tions, and author and professor Lubomyr Luciuk on the role of the Ukrainian Diaspora post the “Orange Revolution”. Finally, TWG was extremely fortunate that we (TWG in conjunction with the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars) were able to sponsor a presentation by the Hon. Richard Green Lugar, United States Senator from Indiana, on the topic of “A Changing Ukraine”. Sen. Lugar traveled to Ukraine to observe the Ukrainian Presidential elections as well as the “Orange Revolution” and then reported his findings and observations to the President of the United States. It should be noted that Senator Lugar is one of the most knowledgeable U.S. politicians on the subject of U.S.–Ukraine relations. As President of TWG, I represented TWG on the National Shevchenko Commemoration Committee and actively participated in the planning and the organizing of the 40th Anniversary of the Unveiling of the Monument to Taras Shevchenko in Washington, D.C. But more importantly, I had the priviledge of having served as one of the five (5) co-chairs of the Welcoming Committee for President Yushchenko when he came to the U.S. on an official visit in April 2005. As co-chair, I was actively involved in the plan- ning and organizing of the welcoming ceremonies for President Yushchenko and his wife at the Shevchenko monument as well as in the planning and organizing of the Banquet in honor of the Ukrainian President at the Omni Shoreham Hotel which took place on April 6, 2005. Additionally, I represented TWG at various State Department and White House briefings on Ukraine as well as at conferences sponsored by other Ukrainian organizations and numerous Embassy affairs and events. As you all know, TWG also has two very active organizational components: the TWG Cultural Fund (TWGCF) and the TWG Fellowship Fund (TWGFF). First of all, I would like to note that TWGCF had another extremely successful year. TWGCF, headed by its long-time Director Ms. Laryssa Courtney for the first part of the year and now by its current Director Ms. Svitlana Shiells, under the patronage of the Embassy of Ukraine, sponsored and presented a number of world class musicians, musical groups, singers and traditional folk ensembles in its 2004-2005 Music Series. TWGCF, in cooperation with the Embassy of Ukraine, also hosted and sponsored a number of art shows and literary evenings featuring noted Ukrainian artists, sculptors and writers at the Embassy. More detailed information about all of the TWGCF events can be found in its Annual Report. The TWGFF, headed by Mr. Michael Drabyk, has also been very active. Under Mr. Drabyk’s capable management, the TWGFF was able to raise the funds, in a very short period of time I might add, necessary to fund the “2004 TWG Fellowship Fund Embassy Internship” at the Embassy of Ukraine. The increasing popularity of the program is reflected in and evidenced by the fact that this year the TWG Embassy Internship Program has attracted a record number of highly qualified applicants. The activities of the fund are detailed in its Annual Report. TWG socials continue to be popular and offer our members and prospective members an opportunity to meet on a regular basis where they can socialize and network. The socials continue to be held on the first Friday of each month. The Washington Group, as an organziation, has something to offer every member of the Ukrainian community and, therefore, continues to attract many dedicated and talented Ukrainian American professionals to its ranks. We all need to support its activities throughout the year so that our orgnization can remain vibrant and relevant. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Board of Directors and its officers for their cooperation and hard work during this year as well as in the past years. I would also like to thank all the TWG members for the confidence, trust and the generous support you have given me and the Board. Special thanks go to Ambassador Mykhail Reznik, Ms. Natalia Holub, (Cultural Attache) who earlier this year received an award from TWG, and to all the diplomats and staff for their support of TWG. As you all know, many of our TWG events were jointly sponsored and held on the premises of the Embassy of Ukraine. I hope that you will continue to support TWG and its various activities in future years. Thank you.
