It's hard to say, but it has already begun. The information dictatorship on the Ukrainian TV has begun three weeks ago. There were completely disappeared all foreign films and good programmes except the Russians. For example, were disappeared such modern and popular films as "Dr. House", "Grey's Anatomy", "Desperate Housewives", "Sex and the City", "Law&Order" from TV. And the worst thing is the prevailing Russian ether, formed almost the 80% at all information etherial time on the Ukrainian channels. Nowadays it's even hard to listen the Ukrainian songs on the TV...

Lviv is 754 years old.


The 754-th anniversary of Lviv was celebrated last three days from 8-th to 10-th of May, so it has just finished and I can tell You and show in the photo how it was. :)





A few historical sentences about Lviv. Many years ago the halytsko-volynskyy principe and the first ukrainian king Danylo Halytskyy decided to found several fortresses-castles. So in 1256 year he founded Lviv and named it in the honour of his son Lev.




The festival of the alive sculptures.




































A boy is teaching to make his small jug from clay the first in his life! Very interesting job for him and the ancient tradition in Ukraine - to make an earthen pottery.















A girl is teaching to shoot with a bow.











Children enjoy to create antique Ukrainian toy "motanka" themselves (left photo below). The base of "motanka" is a straw, so this toy is considered the ecological toy for babies, and also traditional for our culture.



























On the left side You can see the master heating in the fire some liquid, which in the future will be a beautiful thing such as glassy works of art on the right side.




























The exhibition of "horbati zaporozhtsi" - the cars with its own more than 50-th history, made in Zaporizhzhya's factory in the middle of the XX-th century. And nowadays they are the antiquarians. :)




























The priests of the different religions of Lviv pray the common prayer about the better future of Lviv and its citizens on Rynok square.


Lviv's knights on the opening of Lviv Day celebration near the building of the municipal government (Town Hall) on Rynok square.


Nice music video of the song "Lviv-the city of Lev" is here as the end of this small photographic story. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2VKSPeoF98Y&feature=PlayList&p=CEE7C087D19CE764&playnext_from=PL&playnext=1&index=66

It's rainning now in Lviv.
A little bit music, some mixed thoughts about life and strange mood - such "I" am now...
The next video is one of my favourite. You can see my city Lviv there, for example, the Dominican church, Latin cathedral, theatre of the opera and ballet, the monument to Taras Shevchenko, Rynok square - the famous sightseeings of Lviv. And this music video also is philosophic and the song is sad, but nice. Have a good listening!

The photo of the protest's beginning of the 27-th of April in KyivApril 27, 2010 - the first massive protest against power of Yanukovych & Co. There was people from different regions of Ukraine (the regions of Ivano-Frankivsk, Sumy, Lviv, Kyiv, Rivne, Kirovohrad, Chernihiv and many others) and it was a big success! Because it's mean that not only West Ukraine, but all Ukraine doesn't want to have such president - president, who sells the ukrainian territory for the foreign military organizations, who gives the main ukrainian branches of the economics in the arms of another states, who doesn't admit the Holodomor of 1932-1933 as a genocide of ukrainian people, and who nowadays destroy the liberty of the human rights of the ukrainians. So why this man, elected not honestly, but with falsifications, can be the president of Ukraine?...The people doesn't agree. But what will be in the future? When some politicians say about the necessity of using of the force's variant against protesting people. But against what people will the statesmen do it, against the citizens of Ukraine, which want to be free and not slaves for someone? No, I don't want to think about any force's variant. And only believe in the sagacity of the oppositional chieves to do something better and in the power of ukrainian people to be strong. I also very hope that international community will honestly give the opinion of all events, happening in Ukraine.
And in the end there is one of the great ukrainian song "Dva kol'ory" ("Two colours") by Kvitka Tsisyk.

Have You ever imagined Your last day of the life? Well, I've already imagined and have also written one poem about last day in the life. So, my thoughts about this theme are the next:

This day can be the last -
Then all dreams will pass
Very quickly past you
Never won't come true.
You'll want to see the sun,
Smell flowers or just run,
Be happy that you're alive
And thank God for the life.
But all around will stop,
Taking your bigger hope
To make successful career
Or be a supermillionaire.
That's why do it right now:
Kiss your parents, anyhow
Say "hello" for everyone,
Give your heart for the one,
Smile to yourself, to world,
Go along the life's road,
Help somebody...Maybe
Tomorrow you'll not be.

What will be with my beautiful country, with my Ukraine? I very hope Ukraine will stay the independent state and will be strong against the agressive activity of russian politicians. Believe in the better ukrainian future! Because must believe in it, and only ukrainian people can destroy this the worst political situation for the last 18 years of the state independence of Ukraine. The ukrainians must do it - to save state independence, and there's no another way for development of the country. Go Ukraine! I believe in the best results of ukrainian protests and very wish the peace and successful economics for my Ukraine. I'm ukrainian and shall be ukrainian always. Slava Ukrayini!

What may someone do with a dream? When some dream comes quickly into the head and doesn't go away...But there is just some fantastic dream. And what can I do with it? Ah, I don't know. But I don't want to dream today about something, to expect that dream come true. Yes, I'll hope that my small dream come the reality tomorrow. But, if won't it happen? Will it stay only a dream? Maybe. Though a human life would be so sad without dreams and because I'm sure that dreams are necessary things for everyone! Let dream here! :)
