 For almost three years, the Starokievsky Regional Court in the city of Kiev, has studied the case of the Union of Ukrainian writers vs. The Editors of the "Kievsky Vedomosti" newspaper, the journalist Oles Buzin, and the artist Marina Turovska. The cause of the case is the publication in "Kievsky Vedomosti" of an excerpt from Buzin's book "Burdalak Taras Shevchonko", in which Buzin criticizes the great Ukrainian poet Taras Griegorevich Shevchenko, who passed away more than 140 years ago. The plaintiffs demand to collect, to his advantage (if one takes into account the minimum wage index) more than $420,000 for "the insult and slander against the brilliant poet." Full Story...

Out of 60,000 draft-age men residing in Moscow, 5000 have been sent this spring to serve the mandatory two years in the armed forces. To fulfill their targets on cannon fodder, draft centers resort to a host of unprecedented tricks. Raids on apartments, false summons to police stations and health clinics no longer work as draftees have learned to recognize these traps. Today, draft centers use the fair sex to provide the Russian army with fresh forces. Full Story...Beating Teenagers has increased the level of happiness
In the early 1990’s, an informal association called “The Brotherhood of Candidates to Be Real People” appeared in Harkov.
