  • Ukraine - Germany: Waiting for "Insights"
    Ukraine - Germany: waiting for "insights" Vol. 4, No. 117, June 1, 1998 When visiting Bonn, Leonid Kuchma announced his decision to run for the second term in office. Apparently, this represents a particular habit of Ukrainian decision-makers, the President included, to make such statements abroad: Kuchma's first announcement that he would "seek re-election in October 1999" appeared in the French newspaper Le Monde on October 15, 1996. Meanwhile, Leonid Kuchma will have to deal with other serious issues during his visit: as he insisted at the time of German president Roman Herzog's visit to Kyiv, "only a blind cannot but see positive changes in Ukraine's economy." Eighteen months after that visit, the Ukrainian president will have to take enormous effort to ensure that the Germans do see the promised progress. Leonid Kuchma's visit to Germany in May 1998, and his talks with German Chancellor Helmut Kohl represent only one instance in relations of the two top executive officials which began when Leonid Kuchma was Prime Minister of Ukraine. The German chancellor visited Ukraine on June 9-10, 1993, at the height of the most significant miners' strike of this decade. After talks with President Kravchuk, Speaker Ivan Pliushch, Prime Minister Leonid Kuchma and Foreign Minister Anatoly Zlenko, helmut Kohl told at the final press conference that he would advocate easing access for Ukrainian goods to European markets at the European Community forum in Kopenhagen. Though, Ukraine could hardly expect substantial financial assistance from Germany at that time, after Mr. Kohl advised this country to develop "close relations" with the IMF and the World Bank.

  • Kyiv, Ukraine: the City of Domes and Demons from the Collapse Of
    Roman Adrian Roman Cybriwsky Kyiv, Ukraine is a pioneering case study of urban change from socialism to the hard edge of a market economy after the Soviet collapse. It looks in detail at the changing social geography of the city, and on critical problems such as corruption, social inequality, sex tourism, and destruction of historical ambience by greedy developers. The book is based on fieldwork and an insider’s knowledge of the city, and is engagingly written. Roman Adrian Cybriwsky is Professor of Geography and Urban Studies at Temple University in Philadelphia, USA, and former Ukraine Kyiv, Fulbright Scholar at the National University of Kyiv Mohyla Academy. He divides his time between Philadelphia, Kyiv, and Tokyo, about which he has also written books. “Roman Cybriwsky knows this city and its people, speaks their language, feels their frustrations with its opportunist and corrupt post-Soviet public figures Roman Adrian Cybriwsky who have bankrupted this land morally and economically. He has produced a rich urban ethnography stoked by embers of authorial rage.” — John Charles Western, Professor of Geography, Syracuse University, USA “Kyiv, Ukraine is an interdisciplinary tour de force: a scholarly book that is Kyiv, Ukraine also an anthropological and sociological study of Kyivites, a guide to Kyiv and its society, politics, and culture, and a journalistic investigation of the city’s darkest secrets. At this time of crisis in Ukraine, the book is indispensable.” — Alexander Motyl, Professor of Political Science, Rutgers University, USA The City of Domes and Demons “Filled with personal observations by a highly trained and intelligent urbanist, Kyiv, Ukraine is a beautiful and powerful work that reveals from the Collapse of Socialism profound truths about a city we all need to know better.” — Blair A.
