Ukrainian Ethnic Village


There is hardly a better way to feel Ukrainian ethnic atmosphere and comprehend its traditions than to immerse yourself in there. I've recently come across this website where everything is so 'Ukrainish '. Never been there but really want to. I think this is the great place to visit for both foreign tourists and local people like me. Will add it to my Must Visit list.

P.S. The best thing about this site is that they have an English version!

Baked Pudding "Delicious Stripes"


It was supposed to be the blog fully! devoted to Ukraine and nothing but my homeland. But it's hard for a very talkative and love-to-share-everything-I-love person like me to be reasonably tenacious of my goal. So nothing could stop me from sharing these photos and recipe of baked pudding with you. If only I had had a camera near by when I baked cherry pie, you would now have enjoyed (hope it's true) two recipes at once.

Euphoria. Coming Soon

Came across this trailer and decided to share it. No translation needed. This is an English version!



Ruslana Lyzhychko is not simply a pop singer in Ukraine and the winner of Eurovision 2004, she is also one of the boldest activists here. I can't stop admiring her courage and creativity! To her last press-conference she came handcuffed supervised by two huge guards. This was her protest against lawlessness of judicial system of Ukraine (by the way, it is really is), which initiated the beginning of her campaign known as "Don't keep silent!"
Anxious to see the full video.
