They are used constantly by both academic and private researchers who may be doing anything from looking for the town where their grandparents were born to tracing ethnolinguistic boundaries or changing political units. This region of Europe has been much fought over and as a result has been the subject of mapping by a variety of governments and their armies.

  • Gender Equality at Local Level: Challenges and Opportunities in Ukraine 21-22 February 2018 Hotel “President”, 12, Hospitalna Str., Kyiv, Ukraine
    Gender equality at local level: challenges and opportunities in Ukraine 21-22 February 2018 Hotel “President”, 12, Hospitalna Str., Kyiv, Ukraine Context Gender equality is achieved when women and men enjoy the same rights and opportunities across all sectors of society, including economic participation and decision-making, and when the different behaviours, aspirations and needs of women and men are equally valued and favoured. The Council of Europe Congress of Local and Regional Authorities (the Congress) is organising jointly with the Association of Ukrainian Cities (AUC) a workshop to discuss the challenges and opportunities related to gender equality at local level in Ukraine. This workshop aims to promote gender mainstreaming in the work of local authorities, and more particularly the role of national associations of local authorities in supporting their members in this respect. Through an interactive programme which combines peer exchanges between representatives of European associations of local and regional authorities and inputs from local and international experts, the participants of the workshop will debate on topical issues specific to gender equality, gender mainstreaming and gender sensitive policies at local level. The workshop is organised within the Council of Europe Congress project “Strengthening capacity of local elected authorities” which aims to improve the implementation of democratic principles in Ukraine by enhancing the institutional and leadership capacities of local elected representatives, and by disseminating

  • The Vasil Krychevsky Poltava Local Lore Museum: from Foundation to the Present
    Scientific Development of New Eastern Europe THE VASIL KRYCHEVSKY POLTAVA LOCAL LORE MUSEUM: FROM FOUNDATION TO THE PRESENT Zaiets Taras1 DOI: https://doi.org/10.30525/978-9934-571-89-3_63 Poltava region has always attracted the interest of scientists, as determined by the dynamics of social and cultural and artistic life. The region has a special approach in historical musicology, folklore and ethnography. An in-depth study of the history of the formation of museums is an actual topic in the modern conditions of the revival of spirituality and culture of the Ukrainian people. Nevertheless, in spite of this, the topics of the Poltava Museology are covered only in a fragmentary way in the studies of N. Besedina, A. Vasylenko, V. Vrublevska, G. Mezentseva, M. Ozhitska, I. Yavtushenko and some other scholars. The rich history of the Poltava region is preserved in museums, the oldest of which is the Poltava Local Lore Museum – a significant scientific and cultural center, created in 1891 at the Poltava provincial zemstvo board in three small rooms of the wing. The first exhibits of the institution was a collection of soils and herbarium collected by the expedition of the famous scientist, professor V. V. Dokuchaev – 4,000 soils, 500 specimens of rocks, 862 herbarium sheets [5]. In 1908, the architect V. Krychevsky and the painters S. Vasylkivsky (who performed the decorative painting of the museum) and M. Samokysh (created three huge canvases in the session hall of the zemstvo) built a genuine architectural masterpiece, which is still considered the most original building in the city.

    ELECTION OBSERVATION DELEGATION TO THE LOCAL ELECTIONS IN UKRAINE (25 October 2015) Report by Andrej PLENKOVIĆ, ChaIr of the Delegation Annexes: A - List of Participants B - EP Delegation press statement C - IEOM Preliminary Findings and Conclusions on 1st round and on 2nd round 1 IntroductIon On 10 September 2015, the Conference of Presidents authorised the sending of an Election Observation Delegation, composed of 7 members, to observe the local elections in Ukraine scheduled for 25 October 2015. The Election Observation Delegation was composed of Andrej Plenkovič (EPP, Croatia), Anna Maria Corazza Bildt (EPP, Sweden), Tonino Picula (S&D, Croatia), Clare Moody (S&D, United Kingdom), Jussi Halla-aho (ECR, Finland), Kaja Kallas (ALDE, Estonia) and Miloslav Ransdorf (GUE, Czech Republic). It conducted its activities in Ukraine between 23 and 26 October, and was integrated in the International Election Observation Mission (IEOM) organised by ODIHR, together with the Congress of Local and Regional Authorities. On election-day, members were deployed in Kyiv, Kharkiv, Odesa and Dnipropetrovsk. Programme of the DelegatIon In the framework of the International Election Observation Mission, the EP Delegation cooperated with the Delegation of the Congress of Local and Regional Authorities, headed by Ms Gudrun Mosler-Törnström (Austria), while the OSCE/ODIHR long-term Election Observation Mission headed by Tana de Zulueta (Italy). The cooperation with the OSCE/ODIHR and the Congress went as usual and a compromise on the joint statement was reached (see annex B). Due to the fact that only two parliamentary delegations were present to observe the local elections, and had rather different expectations as regards meetings to be organised, it was agreed between all parties to limit the joint programme to a briefing by the core team of the OSCE/ODIHR.
