| Un brève histoire du tracteur en Ukraine | | 2008-06-30 15:02:00 | | Dans ce livre de Marina Lewycka, outre quelques réelles anecdotes sur l'histoire du tracteur en Ukraine, on peut suivre deux sœurs qui se retrouvent après plusieurs années de brouille, forcées de se rapprocher pour sauver de la panade leur père, vieil octogénaire tombé amoureux de Valentina, immigrée ukrainienne de 36 ans.(je cite ici la critique de Maud Denarié pêchée sur Evene.fr ) :"[L'auteure se penche ici sur un phénomène nouveau], l'immigration en Grande-Bretagne. Sur fond de farce - le portrait de Valentina est plutôt féroce -, elle y dénonce une réalité taboue : la conquête du luxe occidental par certaines filles venues de l'Est dans l'espoir de plumer le premier mari venu. A première vue, la figure de l'immigrée cherchant "vieil homme riche et impuissant" relève de la caricature, certes, mais elle soulève une question fondamentale : celle des immigrants qui, croyant découvrir un eldorado en Europe, se heurtent à un choc culturel qui les dépasse, et | | By: On apprend tous les jours | | |

| Limo from Ukraine luxury design | | 2008-04-13 14:59:21 | | This one's going to make you shake the booty for sure. Instead of pulling out a cliché limo design, the customized Pontiac Aztek we have here has a lot more to offer. You can think about tweaking sports cars for crazy performance readings that you can brag about but when you talk about six exhaust tips and 14 inch wheels. The hood is blessed with aerodynamic hood bulges for the wiper blades. Just imagine it to be a monster charging at you and that will satisfy your urge and save you a trip to Ukraine for the ultimate. The ornamental door handles leave a royal touch to this one. At some point of time I feel that there is a bit of too much stuffed into a luxury kid like this one. It's simply the work of someone with too much of time and money. Long live he! | | By: Unique Gift Idea | | |

As everyone already knows, Medvedev is expected to nominate Putin as Prime Minister. No one expected any opposition to this, since denying Putin dominance over Russian politics is like preventing tidal wave from hitting the shore. [...] | | By: Sean\\\'s Russia Blog | | |

| | No misperceptions! Bush backs Ukraine's Nato bid | | 2008-04-01 09:28:53 | | President Bush, on a visit to Ukraine (and under the eagle eye of a satellite-hatted Ukrainian soldier!), today declared his unequivocal support for the entry of Ukraine and Georgia into NATO, a position that is almost bound to anger Russia. The President said, “Your nation has made a bold decision, and the United States strongly supports your request,” he told Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko. But both former Soviet states are expected to be blocked by French and German opposition. So stalemate looms.It's a good thing President Yushchenko is married to an American. She can explain away the Bushisms. G.W. said it was a “misperception” that he might trade his Ukraine support in exchange for Russian acceptance of a missile defense system in Eastern Europe. “There's no tradeoffs (good grammar!). Period,” he said. Russia has been lobbying hard against both states, saying NATO’s expansion into former Soviet territory impinges on Russia’s sphere of influence.

| | Look out Ukraine, here I come! | | 2008-03-10 12:53:00 | | What comes to mind when you hear or read the word 'Ukraine'?For me, I am reminded of a very significant country in the game of Risk. "The gateway to Asia" we'd call it growing up. Truth be told, I've never given the country too much more thought and don't know much more about it than its capital (Kiev). Then something happened that made me give Ukraine another look...I've made quite a few friends through my recent (and very late) introduction to MySpace. One such friend is a woman named Olga from Ukraine. We met primarily due to our mutual love of poker and struck up a few conversations right from the start. My interest was peeked when I found out she was the editor-in-chief of Hroniky Azarta, a gambling magazine in Ukraine - 'the first and best' she says dutifully.A few random chats later came a surprise for the ages, she's working on having a 'dynamic and bright dialog' with pro players that have some character and will share their experiences and opinions with her readers ...I guess | | By: Quad Seven Poker | | |

| | | UKRAINE: It to move away from Russian design for nuclear plant | | 2007-06-25 15:57:00 | | Ukraine's nuclear power utility Energoatom said Monday a new reactor it plans to build in the country's south will break with a long-standing tradition of using Russian design and technology. "We imagine this unit as one of a non-Russian type," the company's chief executive, Andrei Derkach, was quoted as saying in a press release. He said the design for a fourth reactor at the Soviet-era Yuzhno-Ukrainskaya power plant, whose three operational units generate 1,000 megawatts each, will be chosen instead from among proposals submitted by France's Areva, the United States' Westinghouse and a South Korean company. The country's parliament will have the final say in the selection process. Ukraine ranks fifth in the world's nuclear power ratio rankings, with NPP-generated electricity accounting for about 47% of its total output as of 2006. Its three other plants currently in operation include Zaporozhe, Khmelnitsky and Rovno, with a total of 12 reactors. The Chernobyl stat | | By: energy BLOG | | |
| | Muesum of Soviet Occupation of Ukraine | | 2007-06-25 10:31:34 | | The initiative to open a museum of Soviet occupation of Ukraine came from the Ukrainian president Viktor Yuschenko, after he saw a similar show of historic distortion in Georgia (where the museum of Soviet occupation of Georgia is located). Yet to avoid a backlash from a strong opposition, the Ukrainian museum is sponsored by an NGO, the "Memorial" group.The museum had always been there, but its original title "Museum of totalitarianism" did not attract much visitors, its renaming into the "Museum of Soviet occupation" attracted a landslide of protesters, and later actual visitors. The American ambassador together with NATO representatives have been among the visitors. As the reporter of Russia's daily Izvestia strolled through the outskirts of the museum, she observed the following:"Ukraine under Hitler was much better off than during the Soviet Union", - the museum tries to show. President Yuschenko leaves the issue without comment. "Hitler's troops promoted the Ukrainian theater. They temporarily halted Stalin's repressions. The Soviets destroyed the Ukrainian republic, founded in 1918", - say the museum members. (The Ukrainian republic was shortlived and in the early 1920-s was incorporated into the young Soviet Union, the Western part was "occupied" by Poland - blog author)The founder of the museum battles Soviet totalitarianism by hunting for archives in Russia. He is helped by the Moscow and St. Petersburg branches of the "Memorial" group. We send our delegates with "Kiev" cakes and Ukrainian "gorilka" (Ukrainian home-made vodka - blog author) to their archives. In return we get documented materials, of which we could not have dreamed of. Now the museum knows all about three Ukrainian golodomor's (labeled in Ukraine as intentional starvation campaigns - blog author), about the slave-like existence of peasants who were denied internal passports, and how the Russians systematically ate all of Ukraine's produce.When the Izvestia correspondent asked why the | | By: Russia\\\'s True Tales of Terra | | |
