Interesting piece I found on CNN about the political game that is going on in Ukraine. Even though Yulia and Yanuk should both be sitting in prison are my thoughts, the author of the article Andrey Kurkov talks about how he is getting fed with incredible stories to write about that would otherwise be hard to imagine or make up.
<blockquote>The paradox of the current political situation is the fact that Yulia Tymoshenko is getting in the way of Viktor Yanukovych from "building a new country". He hoped that while in detention she would not bother him, but as it turned out, while in prison she disturbs him and the building of a new country even more. Hundreds of government officials from former Soviet states and other foreign countries require and request a meeting with her, distracting the "builders of a new country" -- a large and active clan of businessmen representing the eastern regions of Ukraine.</blockquote>

Foreigners who come to Ukraine say that the nation's police officers are giving the nation a bad name.
A video featuring comments from foreign tourists was uploaded on Facebook by Yulia Belyanevych.
The foreigners said that, after asking for documents, a police officer stole 40 euros from the pocket of one of them. It's a warning for the more than 200,000 foreigners expected to arrive to attend Euro 2012 football championship games between June 8 and July 1. “Police will be the main problem," one foreign man told Belyanevych. "Police haVE stopped me to check my passport and then just robbed me.
Police always stop us because we speak English and checks our documents.I am afraid one day I will forgot my passport and they will take me away.”
The advice from the three foreigners interviewed: “Stay away from Ukrainian police.”

He appealed to a higher court and was allowed to wait for the court's verdict on his appeal in a nursing home in south Germany. That is where he died this week.<br /><br />Demjanjuk's German lawyer, Dr. Ulrich Busch, told Haaretz that the Munich court published the statement regarding his client's presumed innocence at his demand.<br />"After my client's death, a false statement was distributed to the effect that Mr. Demjanjuk died as a convicted war criminal," Busch told Haaretz in an exchange of e-mails. "The German and international media accepted this version and sullied my client, portraying him as one who led 28,000 people to the gas chambers."<br /><br />Busch said he demanded the legal authorities in Germany issue a clarification saying his client "died innocent and without conviction," and that his conviction by a lower court "is invalid.<br />"The statement issued now clears my client's name and restores his dignity," he said.<br />"It's a great consolation to his family, which is grieving over the loss of a husband and father, who died alone in far away Germany," Busch added.<br /><br />He described Ukraine-born Demjanjuk's conviction as a "legal scandal."<br />"I was and still am convinced the Supreme Court would have granted his appeal and acquitted him this year, had he not died before the procedure ended," he said.<br /><br /><br />Source: <a href="http://www.haaretz.com/print-edition/news/convicted-nazi-criminal-demjanjuk-deemed-innocent-in-germany-over-technicality-1.420280">Haaretz</a><div class="blogger-post-footer">"ukrainian, ukrainian blog, ukrainian directory, ukrainian directory-sobor, ukraine, ykpaina, ukrainians in montreal, ukrainians in canada, ukrainian banks, ukrainian organizations, ukrainian churches, st.michael's ukrainian catholic church, ukrainian school, sobor, cobop, organizations, churches, banks, business, entertainment, health, sales, services, travel, information, guide, education, news, maps, culture, ukrainian businesses, ukes, genealogy, history, media, mailing lists, resources, language, ukrainian language, software, ukrainian software, technology, fonts, discussion, literature, music, research, ukrainian links, index, organizations, country, countries, travel, politics, community announcements, west island, st.andrew's ukrainian catholic church, st.andrij ukrainian catholic church, catholic churches, sports, soccer, ukrainian soccer, ukrainian golf, ukrainian dance, ukrainian easter eggs, ukrainian easter, galleries, photos, valrom, main page, ukrainian school's, ukrainian's in montreal, ukrainian's in quebec, ukrainian's in Canada, ukrainians in the world"</div>Ukemondehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12982167306832748924noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25094750.post-77076081091943426232012-03-22T17:53:00.004-07:002012-03-22T18:05:26.734-07:00IN MEMORY OF JOHN DEMJANJUK<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-TqdB92Vdvdg/T2vMTzxOeeI/AAAAAAAAAUU/Fuk04ue3vt4/s1600/john.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 180px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-TqdB92Vdvdg/T2vMTzxOeeI/AAAAAAAAAUU/Fuk04ue3vt4/s320/john.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5722892392190605794" /></a><br />The irony of the Demjanjuk case lies in the fact that despite all these efforts to convict him, according to German law, no conviction stands until all appeal rights have been exhausted. In other words, despite what the international media may say, according to German law, and Israeli and American law for that matter, Demjanjuk was never found guilty of any crime.

<br />Stefan Horlatsch survived the Holodomor as a 12-year-old boy.
<br />
<br />Horlatsch's family had their land in the Zaporizhia region of eastern Ukraine, livestock and grain forcibly seized by Soviet authorities during the famine-genocide. Eleven members of his family perished.
<br />
<br />The retired teacher from High Park pleaded for the world to offer its compass on in the form of immediate aid to Somalia.
<br />
<br />"Ten-million Ukrainians perished. Ten million," Horlatsch said. "That is the population of Canada at the time. As a survivor, I say to the world: 'Be kind. Save Somalia.'"

<br />MONTREAL — Saint Michaels Ukranian Catholic Church is a lot like the Ukrainian community is serves: venerable, sturdy and admirable.
<br />
<br />The church services one of five Ukranian-Catholic parishes on the island. It's also the oldest, built in 1917.
<br />
<br /><a href="http://www.ukemonde.com/stmichael/history.html">Saint Michaels</a> is considered a home-base of the 30,000 Ukranian Quebecers which is celebrating 120 years in the province.
<br />
<br />Many, like Bohdanna Monzczak are grateful for their lives in Canada which offered refuge from war-torn Eastern Europe where warring Russians and Germans had brought destruction to their land and many were imprisoned or killed.
<br />
<br />"Right after the war, this was really paradise and I still think this is paradise," she said. "The church was full of people with a beautiful choir. Everybody was welcoming. We could have freedom and we could have whatever we wanted here," said Monzczak.
