The Ukraine, the second largest country of Eastern Eurpoe, is located in the pivot of Black Sea and Bsltic Sea. The country is aboundanted in nature resources, such as, woods, mines, coal mines, and gas. The Maastricht Treaty, entered into force since 1993, marked the beginning of formation of the EU. The European Neighbourhood Policy was undertaken in consideration of strategy combination, resource integration, bilateral diplomacy and economic corporation with the neighboring countries. As the result of above, it is reasonable that the Ukraine was certainly the first priority for the EU which they were targeted to buy off for aligment.

  • FOREWORD It Is an Honour for Me to Present This Compendium Which
    FOREWORD FOREWORD It is an honour for me to present this compendium which includes papers, practical information and proposals for combating fraud and corruption based on experience of the Supreme Audit Institutions (SAIs) in Central, Eastern Europe and Asia. The book was prepared upon the results of the EUROSAI International Conference “The Role of Supreme Audit Institutions in Fighting Against Fraud and Corruption” hosted by the Accounting Chamber of Ukraine on September 1921, 2006 in Kyiv. The EUROSAI event was attended by 61 participants from 24 SAIs among which were present Presidents of 16 SAIs. The participants discussed the following subthemes: • Subtheme I: The Role of SAIs in the National System Development of Fighting Against Fraud and Corruption; • Subtheme II: Peculiarities of SAIs Cooperation with the Law Enforcement Bodies during Exposure and Prevention of Fraud and Corruption; • Subtheme III: The Practice of SAIs in Implementation Transparency and Publicity in the Field of Fighting Against Fraud and Corruption. The Conference was supported by the Parliament of Ukraine, the Cabinet of Ministries of Ukraine and by the number of Ukrainian government authorities which participated in this event. I would like to pass special thanks to all of my colleagues, Heads of the SAIs for their interest in the Conference and willingness to share experience and modern techniques in fighting against fraud and corruption. I am very pleased that the initiative of the Accounting Chamber of Ukraine received great feedback among the EUROSAI community. I am deeply convinced that this event stimulated and consolidated efficient collaboration between SAIs and that approved Recommendations will further facilitate applying common actions towards combating such negative phenomena as fraud and corruption.

  • OSNOVY Publi CATALOGUE DISTRIBUTION & RIGHTS Shing
    OSNOVY publi CATALOGUE & RIGHTS DISTRIBUTION shing 2019 about Osnovy Publishing was founded in 1992 by Bohdan Krawchenko and Solomiya Pavlychko. Over the past twenty years, Osnovy has published over three hundred titles. After the collapse of the USSR, Ukraine critically needed literature in Ukrainian. Osnovy was created to fill this need. The editorial board – headed by Solomiya Pavlychko from 1992 to 1999 – focused on providing readers in the newly independent Ukraine with high quality translations of classic masterpieces and a wide range of academic works. Osnovy supplied a new generation of students with world-class publications in literature, economics, political science, sociology and other key disciplines. Osnovy has translated and published Aristotle, W. Shakespeare, W. Golding, H. Matsuura, J. Kerouac and other important authors from antiquity to the present day. In 2012, Osnovy published Franz Kafka’s collection of his early works Contemplation, stylized after its first printing in 1912. Osnovy has also published numerous fundamental works in philosophy – F. Nietzsche, Simone de Beauvoir, M. Foucault, S. Freud and many others. The textbooks Microeconomics and Macroeconomics (P. Samuelson and W. Nordhaus) and Fundamentals of Financial Accounting (G. Welsch and D. Short) helped students of the early 1990s through the transition to a market economy. Osnovy has also published a Ukrainian translation of renowned historian Norman Davies’ Europe: A History in 2001. This monumental work is currently in its seventh run. Osnovy is also proud of its own original titles. The works of D. Nalyvaiko, V. Lytvynov, M. Zerov, L. Kurbas, S. Pavlychko, D. Pavlychko and S. Yefremov have made valuable contributions to Ukrainian scholarship.

  • Literary Combination: Memory and Space in Contemporary Ukrainian Anthologies
    Copyright @2013 Australian and New Zealand Journal of European Studies http://www.eusanz.org/ANZJES/index.html Vol. 2013 5(2) ISSN 1837-2147 (Print) ISSN 1836-1803 (On-line) Literary CombiNation: Memory and Space in Contemporary Ukrainian Anthologies OLENA HALETA Ivan Franko National University of Lviv, Ukraine [email protected] Abstract Finding itself at the end of the twentieth century in a situation of post-totalitarianism, post-colonialism and postmodernism, Ukrainian literature faced the problem of finding its own identity. Genres dedicated to the representation of literature, including the increasingly popular genre of anthology, were among the foremost means of creating an image of the literature in its totality. From the end of the 1990s onward, the search for a usable tradition was accompanied by a sense of obligation to highlight one’s own modernity, delimit its periods and define its constitutive properties. The national literature has faced the problem taking into account the heritage of totalitarianism and colonialism, which involves coming to terms with its internal space as a multilingual one. On the other hand, the space of literature has extended over the state border, promising to create a new homogeneity of literature and overcoming the differences between domestic and diaspora literature. Key words: anthology, memory, post-colonialism, post-totalitarianism, space, Ukrainian literature. Three Histories and One Theory In the course of the last 20 years Ukrainian literature has been the central character in at least three narratives which have yet to be thoroughly comprehended or described by literary history. During this period Ukrainian literature faced the problem of self-determination in a post-totalitarian, post- colonial, and postmodern situation.
