Yesterday was Ukrainian independence day
great time in Lviv, lots of people dressed up in army uniforms, scantily clad women selling cell phone contracts, priests, choirs and outdoor church services, rock concerts and the philharmonic sharing one outdoor stage
in usa we just celebrate independence, not really caring too much who we gained independence from
Here it is made very clear that ukraine escaped russia's cold and oppressive embrace
People express their nationality as defined in opposition to Russia, with hateful, violent graffiti, tshirt slogans and slang
maybe that's how we used to feel toward England, in 1803?
I sure hope russia doesn't try to make eastern ukraine succeed the way they're supporting northern georgia
then again as a pcv, i'm not supposed to express political opinions, oops
