4 What’s Up
Justice Served Cold. Like RevengeThe Ukrainian justice (*cough*) system seems to be working overtime these days. There have been the weekly interrogations of former PM Yulia Ty-moshenko in relation to corruption and misap-propriation of public funds. Now, former Interior Minister, Orange Revolution “fi eld commander” and political wanderer Yuriy Lutsenko – jailed since December 2010 – fi nally had a day in court, on Monday 23 May. On a hunger strike since April 22, Lutsenko was visibly thinner than his previ-ously robust self. Unbowed, he showed no sign of giving up, in what he sees as a case of political revenge against him on the part of the ruling Par-ty of Regions. According to the Lutsenko camp, this is simply a case of ‘payback’ for his pursuit of Regions high-fl yers as Boris Kolesnikov and his stern opposition to President Viktor Yanuk-ovich himself. While many had speculated that he had originally been arrested in connection with the poisoning of Viktor Yuschenko (indeed, he has been questioned on that matter), the of-fi cial charge sheet makes no mention of it, accus-ing him among other things instead of acquiring property by unlawful means and abuse of offi ce.During his appearance at the famous Pechersk District Court, long-time source of bewildering decisions, Lutsenko demanded that the panel of judges recuse itself from adjudication of the case, stating that he had no reason to believe that they would be impartial. As is his right under the Constitution of Ukraine, he instead demanded a jury trial – a rarity in the country. The court, as was perhaps to be expected, refused his request, pronouncing it “groundless.” Calling the case against him “a collection of the Public Prosecu-tor’s fantasies,” Lutsenko further demanded that he be released from jail pending trial. This motion too, however, was denied. In perhaps more posi-tive news, stating that he sees no further point in the hunger strike, he has called it off.
Friendless?Yuriy Lutsenko’s political path has been one of detours, but he has largely remained on one (more or less) constant trajectory: a commitment to democratic institutions and implacable op-position to the Party of Regions. Rarely, however, is anything in the political maelstrom of Ukraine solely what it looks like. His methods while In-terior Minister did not go without criticism: it is usually frowned upon when the man in charge of law enforcement has no comprehension of “pre-sumption of innocence.” Have the tables now turned?Perhaps more damaging is his tendency to break loudly and publicly with former mentors and comrades, as he has done in the past, fi rst with Socialist Party leader Oleksandr Moroz, then with then-president Yushchenko. These part-ings have always been accompanied by mutual
Ukraine Gets A Hand at CannesThe Ukrainian movie “The Cross” by Maryna Vroda won the Palme D'Or for “Best Short Film” at this year’s Cannes Film Festival. The 15-minute fi lm presents the author’s own memories of the physical education lessons and the it took less than a week to shoot. All of the fi lm’s characters are portrayed by non-professional actors, as is to be expected, given that the entire budget of the fi lm was 3,500 Euros. In other words, young Ukrainian fi lmmaker Vroda has proven conclu-sively that a good movie can be produced on a shoestring, without millions of Euros’ worth of CGI. Given Ukraine’s paltry state support for the arts, it’s no surprise that talented Maryna Vroda sought funding elsewhere, eventually fi nding sup-port in Cannes home country of France. Vroda fi rst showed her reels at Ukraine’s own Molodist International Festival, where she was quickly sin-gled out as one of the country’s most talented and skilled young fi lmmakers. Maryna admits that she got no sleep on the night when she found out that her fi lm had been accepted for the competition in Cannes. That long night gave her time to put things into perspective, however, and she came to the realization that – Cannes award of not – she would carry on making fi lms. Vroda’s is actual-ly the second eminent award from Cannes, following Ukraine Ihor Strembitsky’s Gold-en Palme D'Or victory for another short film in 2005.
Kyiv To Smarten Itself Up Euro-2012Kyiv’s City Council is beginning to take notice of the capital’s appearance, with Euro-2012 approaching rapidly. With that in mind, the council has banned any new billboards in the city centre until 1 Sep-tember. In addition, our fair city fathers will be de-veloping standardized rules for the appearance of outdoor advertisement, laying out the permissible shape, colour and size of the billboards, light-boxes and other advertising media. Stating their desire that Kyiv look like a city in the rest of Europe, where outdoor adverts tend to be better integrated into the cityscape, the city authorities will also have to decrease the amount of advertising space, in order to preserve the historical and architectural face of Kyiv. In a somewhat contradictory non-effort earlier this month, however, the Verkhovna Rada failed to ban outdoor advertisement with sexual and erotic content, with only 12 deputies voting for the pro-hibition. It would therefore seem that regardless of the number and size of billboards and other adver-tising, Kyiv is unlikely to look innocent, in terms of public advertising content, in time for 2012. Then again, what European city doesn’t feature raunchy ads? We’ve not seen one yet.
recriminations and accusations, in language rarely seen as ‘parliamentary.’ His scuffl e with the loony former mayor of Kyiv remains in the public memory, as does the scandal surrounding the infamous events (or non-events?) at Frank-furt airport. Following his break with Yushchenko, Lutsenko made no bones about fi nding a new political camp or, perhaps, “roof” – that of Yulia Tymosh-enko and BYuT. While the ex-PM has been gar-nering a steady stream of publicity recently, in what many consider a run-up to a full-fl edged return to the fray after something of a quiet pe-riod, she does not appear to have gone out of her way for Lutsenko. Not that she can be blamed for that - she’s got a raft of her own issues (le-gal and political) with which to deal, and was in court on 23 May. One can’t help asking whether Lutsenko’s actions in the past have now left him without powerful political friends on whom to call for support.Regardless of his previous political meanderings, Lutsenko deserves a fair trial, like any citizen of a civilised country, but a pre-ordained show trial seems increasingly likely. Certain member states of the EU do seem to be taking an inter-est. Apparently, the ambassadors of Sweden and Finland, two EU states without less ‘hard’ power than others, but with great reserves of moral au-thority, were present in the courtroom today, act-ing as unoffi cial rapporteurs. That can’t be a bad thing. However, given the previously toothless re-actions of the EU, Lutsenko would be ill-advised to see them as the cavalry.

Bach’s Rediscovered ArchiveBach’s Rediscovered ArchiveConcert of classical music by Kyiv Soloists classical music ensemble, Master Klass Cultural Centre (Lavrska 16)28 May at 19.00Bach’s Archive is a selection of more than 5 000 scores by Bach and his sons, as well as by other European composer of the 17th and 18 th centuries. For many years, it had been considered lost, whereas it had, in fact, been brought to Kyiv from Berlin by So-viet soldiers in 1945. In 1990, this slice of musical heritage was returned to Germany, but copies of the works were left in Kyiv, al-lowing the modern ensemble to perform Bach’s music the way it was meant to sound. Master Klass Cultural Centre, together with the Kyiv Soloists ensemble, presents a unique concert of un-known music by famous European composers. Don’t miss your chance!Tickets are 50hrv.

Rock Legend Rock Legend Graces KyivGraces KyivRobert Plant and the Band of Joy, Palace Ukraine (Chervonoarmiyska 103)31 July at 19.00“Legend”, “ground-breaking” and “infl uential” are but three of the adjectives that have been applied to Robert Plant. And with good reason. From not entirely hum-ble beginnings (Jimmy Page, after all, had already tasted fame with the Yardbirds), Plant and “Led Zep” reeled off a stunning string of blues-infused hard rock hit albums, spawning chart-topping hits like “Communication Break-down”, “Heartbreaker”, “Rock ‘N’ Roll”, “Kashmir” and, of course, “Stairway to Heaven”, the song that accompanied many a late-night teenage fumble. Follow-ing Zep’s breakup, undeterred and with a considerable amount still to offer, Plant soldiered on, notably releasing a platinum (and 5 Grammy-winning) album entitled Raising Sand, in col-laboration with American singer Alison Kraus. On tour with his new band, Plant will be arriving in Kyiv as one of the most beloved rock singers of all time. This con-cert will be, if there is any justice in the world, sold out and tickets will move fast, so you may want to “Ramble On” down to your box offi ce as soon as tickets go on sale.Ticket prices TBA. For more in-formation call 247-2316.

Take Me Out!Take Me Out!18Blair Sheridan
I can think of few places I’d rather be on a beautiful early summer evening than the riverside. There’s just something about proximity to a lovely river or lake that I can’t resist. Combine that with a tasty morsel or two and I fi nd it hard to think of a better way to spend a stress-free evening. With that in mind, I leapt on the opportunity to visit Mayachok.
