The station is still waiting for its European renovations and sits like a hideous centrepiece on Kyiv’s most unsightly square, Moskovs’ka ploscha. A currency exchange office (обмін валют) is next to the main exit, and just outside is an ATM (банкомат) that dispenses Ukrainian hryvnia. If you need to stash your bags, a left-luggage office is available (open 06:00 - 11:00, 11:30 - 17:00, 17:30 - 22:00). Getting to town Taxis are always on hand and can take you to the city centre for approximately 50Hr. A newly constructed Demiivs’ka metro station (blue line) is right near the bus sta- tion. Just go round McDonalds’ building, pass a subway and the metro entrance is on your right hand. By Plane Boryspil State International Airport (Аеропорт Бориспiль) is where almost all international flights land and depart. The smaller Kyiv Zhulyani Airport (Аеропорт Київ Жуляни) is only 8km from centre and handles mostly domestic travel and Wiz- zAir flights from Europe. Located 34km east of Kyiv, Boryspil is a small but modern facility. Ticketing agents, and passport and customs officials speak some English, so don’t worry if you haven’t yet mastered Ukrainian or Russian. International passengers now arrive and depart at two Terminals - B and constructed in 2010 Terminal F. Customs controls have been greatly relaxed in recent years, but it still makes sense to travel light and pass through the green express line when arriving. If you need to connect to a local flight, a free shuttle bus circulates between terminals F and A/B every 20 min. Feel like stretching your legs? Walk time to Terminal A, located 400 meters straight and to the right from Terminal F, is about 15 min. At Terminal A and B you’ll find currency exchange offices (обмін валют), information, car rental offices, cafés, public telephones (see Mail & Phones), etc. Tourist Information Getting to town At the exit of the terminals you’re sure to be approached by cabbies. The 30-45 minute ride to centre Tourist Info Centre B-4, Khreschatyk will set you back about 200-250Hr. Buses headed to Kyiv 19A, tel. (+380) 44 278 80 04.

  • (Re)Conceptualization of Memory in Ukraine After the Revolution of Dignity
    ARTICLES (Re)conceptualization of Memory in Ukraine 46 Csilla FEDINEC István CSERNICSKO after the Revolution of Dignity (Re)conceptualization of Memory in Ukraine after the Revolution of Dignity Csilla FEDINEC István CSERNICSKO Abstract In Ukraine, having arrived at a critical stage of its history, three areas can be highlighted at the level of legislation during the struggle for the way forward since the end of 2013: the language issue, the constitutional process, and the efforts to eliminate the Soviet legacy. The subject of our analysis is the four laws belonging to the 2015 legislative package on decommunization, with an outlook to the broader context, as well. The four laws in question decide about who are heroes and who are enemies in history; what Ukraine’s relationship is with World War II, as well as with the Communist and Nazi regimes. The laws point out firmly and excluding any further debate the primacy of the country’s independence over all else, and the protection of the ideal of independence by any means concerning both the past and the present. The laws prescribe impeachment as a sanction for denying their contents. This story – hot memory influenced by politics – will be summarized for the period of 2015–2016. Keywords Ukraine, "decommunization package", national memory, identity crises, democratic values Jan Assmann’s impactful concept of memory developed in the 1990s breaks up the unitary categories of history and memory, and offers a nuanced typology of the typical uses of the past today. Regarding the latter, Assmann distinguishes between ‘hot’ and ‘cold’ memory. Hot memory directly shapes our present lives.

  • Symbiosis of Civilizations As an Important Factor in the Formation and Development of Scientific Thinking in Uzbekistan
    SYMBIOSIS OF CIVILIZATIONS AS AN IMPORTANT FACTOR IN THE FORMATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF SCIENTIFIC THINKING IN UZBEKISTAN Sharipov Shavkat Safarovich - Rector of Jizzakh State Pedagogical Institute, Doctor of Pedagogical Sciences, Professor, Uzbekistan [email protected] Ismatullaev Farhodjon Odiljonovich - Tashkent State Pedagogical University 07.00.01 – Candidate for the Doctorate of History of Uzbekistan, Candidate of Historical Sciences, Associate Professor, Uzbekistan [email protected] Abstract: The current article discusses the impact of different civilizations on the development of scientific knowledge in the region of Uzbekistan and the high civilizations formed in the ancient regions of Central Asia. In particular, it analyzes the advanced science and cultures and harmonious combination of different civilizations that have gradually formed over the centuries as a result of various political, trade, economic, cultural and humanitarian cooperation in Uzbekistan. Keywords: Culture, symbiosis, civilization, Renaissance, Greco-Roman culture, urban planning, analytics, encyclopedia, philosophy, Islamic culture. INTRODUCTION. The consistent development of universal scientific thought is inextricably linked with the emergence and interdependence of historically different civilizations, which can be seen as a symbiosis of interactions 1 between them. In this regard, we see that the formation of the Great Silk Road and other external factors have played an important role in the development of scientific thinking in Uzbekistan. Scientific thinking is a historically stable system of generally accepted methodological standards and philosophical principles that emerges as a specific type of scientific interpretation of reality. Considering the formation of scientific thinking through the prism of the concept of “symbiosis of civilization” allows us to classify the similarities and differences of historically formed forms of thinking, as well as to analyze and predict the direction of its development.
