What Do They Teach?

Donetsk is really a city of the funsters. Or the сlowns - name them as you wish. Now they decided to refuse using the standard school handbooks of the Ukrainian history. Instead of the varified and tested by the famous scientists, they prefered to establish the 'local' handbooks which describe the country's history in a 'right' way. 'We received the numerous apeals from the parents who were indignant about the way their kids are now taught,' - said a guy with a typical 'regional' (meaning a 'Party of Regions') face. - 'We need to change the situation when the criminals are pesented as heroes.' 

That's so Soviet. I never know how to speak to the people like him. In fact, the reason here is not history but politics. And everybody in UA understand whose money are talking with his mouth. Still, as a reult we will have a generation of two-minded young people without a strong national identity who know - easy money are there - to the North and East.

I have a very boring job to do - I need to get acquanited with a newly designed Control Management System for a special purpose. I thought it would be an easier thing to do. However, the cart's still  there. I need money, and I have a work to do. So, why am I blunt? :) Ok, I don't have time to write this, bye! :)

You Need It

I always wonder how people can ignore the things they don't like. I can't. Though it is usually difficult to get rid of of those annoying sad thoughts, you always need to find the way out. I'm trying. You need to be an optimist, I need it.

70 Years to Learn the Lesson

Poland fell in autumn like this. Its Army was unable to withstand such an unexpected and cynical aggression of the united aggressive regimes of Germany and USSR. The ‘civilized’ Western nations closed their eyes and gave Hitler Czechoslovakia. They were to afraid. Great Britain, France – they were afraid of the possible new big war, afraid of the inevitable changes in their lifestyles. Meanwhile, the aggressors just made the preparations. And the partition of Poland became the first action in a long movie.

The divided Europe – especially its Eastern countries – could say big ‘Thank you’ for the Western standards in quieting the aggressive political regimes. They welcomed the Red Army as a liberator in 1945, they drove them out as an occupant in the 1980s. The Eastern Europe nations suffered the most from that conflict and were so happy to return to the democratic standards in their lives.

Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact no more seems to be a warning for the modern Europe. One could notice the same sounds as in 1938 in the EU modern behavior. The comfort of living is a too big seduction. Who will care about a country with a constants mess in all spheres of life?

Today, the representatives of the Ukrainian intelligentsia called for the USA, Great Britain, France and China to convoke an International conference to secure the real guaranties of our country security as the Budapest memorandum doesn’t work any more. They asked the Western countries to be principal when Russia wants to interfere in our internal life once again.

As for me, I have no hope the West will hear them as we know too much examples when history doesn’t teach anything.

We got visas

We waited for three weeks and finally received them. They give us no garancy of going to England tomorrow. At least, they make an inspirition for thinking about going there. Sometimes it looks like an absurd - our country is not developed enough for us to be considered as the 'reliable' person. It is funny - big nations suffer from their own mistakes. So does Great Britain. At such moments I'm happy about living in Ukraine.
