4 What’s Up
Last week, the European Union Foreign Policy Chief Catherine Ash-ton hit out at the Ukrainian government for the charges that have been levelled against former prime minister, Yulia Tymoshenko. But for Yanukovych and his gang, it must have felt, to quote for-
mer British Chancellor Denis Healey, like being savaged by a dead sheep.Tymoshenko has now been charged with abuse of offi ce for concluding a gas import contract with Russia the current administration claims cost the country $440 million in lost revenue.In response, Ms Ashton lashed out with venom: “The EU has closely followed recent developments in the cases of Yulia Tymoshenko and other members of the former government. At the request of the High Representative, the EU Head of Delegation is in contact with the authorities in Kyiv regarding the court decision of 23 May to detain Mrs Tymoshenko, and to express con-cern at suggestions of political motivation behind these cases.”Such strong words must have had Yanukovych quaking in his boots, but Ms Ashton had not fi nished with her tirade. “The EU will continue to un-derline to the Ukrainian authorities the need for respect for the rule of law, incorporating fair, impartial and independent legal process.” And after that we’re sure Yanukovych must have been on the edge of reversing the whole process while begging for forgiveness. Strangely, however, this was not the case, and Yanukovych sat back with his hands behind his head for a couple of days before issuing an apparently unrelated statement, but which to all intents and purposes would appear to be his disdainful response to poor Catherine Ashton’s heated rebuke.In a calm tone, with a patronising smile spread across his pug face, the big man simply said criticism of his ways are “natural” and that he doesn’t have to justify himself.“I understand that the different evaluations of events now taking place in the country are very natural because Ukraine is going through reform,” he told reporters in Warsaw on Friday, and you could just hear the fear in his voice. Not!Perhaps this was not the response Ms Ashton and her EU buddies were hoping for, but what he said next must have come as a bit of a shock. “We
Yanukovuch Sweeps AsideEuropean Bluster
will not justify ourselves,” he said. “We know the processes that have be-gun, for example, in corruption, will make offi cials, including high ranking ones, answer for their actions for the fi rst time in Ukraine.” He fi nished by saying that all decisions on whether specifi c people are found guilty or not should be made by the courts and “there should be no biased evaluations”. At which point all the journalists present fell about laughing.It’s interesting that he notes offi cials in Ukraine will have to answer for their actions for the fi rst time. Let’s hope it’s not the last time. Because if they’re charging Tymoshenko with the gas deal she concluded with Russia, when will he be charged with the one he and Azarov concluded that extended the lease to Russia of the Black Sea Naval Base at Sevastopol for another 25 years while not even getting a good price for gas (see opposite)? Obviously, whatever conviction might be meted out to Tymoshenko should be quadru-pled for that farce.Of course, Yanukovych obviously has no plans of ever relinquishing power and therefore considers himself immune, but he should not be so sure.

Chernovetsky QuestionedKyiv Mayor Leonid Chernovetsky may be charged in connection with 20 criminal cases opened against deputies of his eponymous municipal political party by the Offi ce of the Prosecutor-Gen-eral. Chernovetsky himself has already been questioned at by the prosecutor and has been sum-moned for further inquiries and interrogation regarding his role in massive theft of Kyiv’s state-owned property. Viktor Pshonka, the Prosecutor-General, in his interview to zn.ua news agency, admitted that fi nding direct evidence against the former mayor is diffi cult, as Chernovetsky himself signed very few documents, being well aware of the risk. “We want to know to what extent he was the ideologist behind all of the lawlessness going on in the Kyiv mayor’s offi ce,” said Pshonka. In order to prove his personal responsibility in these criminal cases, certain people need to be brought in for questioning, like Vyacheslav Suprunenko, Chernovetsky former son-in-law, now hiding abroad. For now, Chernovetsky is charged with systematic violation of laws, in particular, for not holding personal meetings with citizens and deputies. Considering the amount of land and other municipal resources illegally sold off, or simply stolen, on his watch, the above charge sounds rather farcical. For the moment Leonid Chernovetsky is abroad, ostensibly for therapeutic reasons. Coincidentally, his health episodes have a tendency to arise at tight-collar times for the former city chief. Get well, Lyonya! People would like answers.
Cholera in MariupolThree cases of cholera have been regis-tered in Mariupol, in Donetsk Region. On Sunday, infected people were taken to a local hospital in moderate condition. The disease has been linked to bacteria pres-ent in the local sea water and fish. Two of
Review of Gas Contract UnacceptableAny hopes the Ukrainian government has for a better gas deal from Russia will be dashed, according to a transcript of a meeting between diminutive Russian President Dmitry Medve-dev and Chairman of Gazprom Alexey Miller. After royally screwing up the deal done last year, which gave Russia access to the Black Sea Naval Base at Sevastopol for a further 25 years while not securing a very good price for gas for Ukraine, Yaukovych and Asarov have been going back, cap in hand, constantly ask-ing for more. But according to this transcript, they’ve no chance.“We must respect the agreements that were
concluded. This also applies to the Russian Federation and Gazprom. It also applies to our Ukrainian partners. Any calls for some sort of unilateral measures and reviews should be imposed on the fabric of the agreement, and not otherwise,” Medvedev is quoted as saying.Then it became clear that Russia is still us-ing this situation to try and push its proposed ‘merger’ between Gazprom and Naftogaz as Medvedev stressed that Ukraine is not an unfamiliar, distant partner, but a very close brotherly country that currently suffers from many economic problems. He added that he has an agreement with Yanukovych to con-sider the possibility of “employing advanced forms of cooperation, including cooperation in the gas industry.” Yes, we know that to which your refer.So, Yanukovych, what’s the jail term for the deal done last year?
Kyiv: A Model of ModernisationSpeaking at a presentation on the develop-ment of the capital until 2025, Yanukovych said that Kyiv should become a model of modernisation for the whole of Ukraine.“Order in the country starts with the capi-tal," he said. "And the efficiency of reforms in Kyiv will determine the success of mod-ernisation of Ukraine as a whole. Therefore, the development of the capital, bringing it into order with innovation, are a matter of national importance without exaggera-tion.”He went on to say that Kyiv lags behind other Eastern European capitals in terms of social and economic development, and, therefore, the Ukrainian capital should set as a priority the task of catching up with its neighbours.We here at What’s On totally agree, and here are some of the things we’d like to see implemented: a fast and regular rail service to Borispyl Airport; replacement of all bat-tered and broken marshrutkas with mod-ern working ones; better buses and trams; extension of the metro network (including new lines); proper parking facilities to take cars off the pavements; a decent amount of litter bins, a clean river and beaches, recy-cling facilities, policemen who don’t try and rob you… And a million more basic things.
the victims had eaten fish caught in the area the day before, while another swal-lowed some sea water and similarly end-ed up in hospital. Medical personnel in Mariupol are examining those who came into contact with the infected, as well as taking a hard look at local beaches and sea-side areas, in an effort to find poten-tial danger spots. Any beaches flagged as
dangerous beaches in and around town will be closed and action is now being tak-en to prevent further spread of the infec-tion. Experts from the Ministry of Health have arrived to Donetsk Region to monitor the situation, however their final conclu-sions regarding the cause of the outbreak of water-borne cholera have not yet been announced.

The group’s overwhelming popularity in the Baltic States and other Eastern European countries has allowed them not only to score platinum-album status in a number of those countries, but also to tour with international acts of great renown, such as the Rolling Stones, R.E.M., Depeche Mode and Supergrass. It looks as though this summer Kyiv is in for an embar-rassment of rock riches.Tickets are 250-1500hrv. For more informa-tion call 222-8040.

Following up Joachim Garraud and Brainstorm, Stereo Plaza proudly presents the hugely popular Ger-man group Schiller. The pet project of musician, composer and producer Christopher von Deylen, Schiller distinguishes itself from many other electronic acts with its unique atmospherics and embrace of technology to create new soundscapes. In Kyiv, this innovative approach will be at the forefront, as the group takes advantage of three-dimensional surround sound to create a swirling effect, making it seem as though the music has taken on form and moves among the audience.Tickets are 250-1500hrv.

CanariasCanariasExhibition of paintings and photographic works by Rufi na Santana and Poldo SebrianM17 (Antonovycha 102-104) From 29 JuneRufi na Santana and Poldo Sebrian were so taken with the beauty of the Canary Islands that they cre-ated a selection of their memories of this divine place. Rufi na’s can-vases are replete with the colours of the Canary Islands: yellow for hot sand, red for the sun, deep blue for the sea. Sebrian’s photos are, on the contrary, black-and-white, revealing the grandeur and pure beauty of the surrounding environment. As a result, the ex-hibition presents a landscape of the islands hidden from the tour-ist invasion; an image of spiritual unity with nature.For more information call: 596-2030

A Welcome RoachA Welcome RoachPapa Roach (US, nu-metal, Alta Expo Centre (Moskovskiy 11a)29 June at 20.00Calling themselves “a band that tries to walk that line between metal, hardcore, punk rock and pop music”, the pride of Vacav-ille, California is bringing its Raid the Nation tour to Kyiv and, if the chatter on the group’s website is anything to go by, Kyivites will be turning out in droves. And why not? Papa Roach exploded onto the music scene in 1999 with the major-label debut album Infest, going on to endless touring and two more albums, Lovehatetrag-edy and Dancing in the Ashes, which attained gold and platinum status, respectively. While front-man Jacoby Shaddix maintains that the rapping that featured on many of their earlier works is now out, form suggests that they’ve kept more than enough other sounds in to grab you.

Roksolanas of the Roksolanas of the 2121stst Century CenturyRoksolanaRoksolanaExhibition of photographic works by Renata Kireyeva,Soviart (Andriivsky Uzviz 22a)From 10 JuneRoksolana is the legendary Ukrai-nian girl, who became the favourite wife of Turkish Sultan Suleiman the Magnifi cent in the 16th century. While far removed from her mother-land, Roksolana was able to use the infl uence she had on her husband wisely, thus protecting her compa-triots and her native country. Renata Kireyeva’s exhibition presents the image of Roksolanas of the 21st cen-tury – women who left Ukraine seek-ing a better life in Istanbul. The art-ists treat these women as strong and brave heroines, unafraid to smash stereotypes and often fi nding suc-cess in Turkey’s cultural and social life. The exhibition aims to inspire Ukrainians to have the courage to start a new life abroad. A very appro-priate theme today, don’t you think?For more information call: 425-2219
No PitNo PitPendulum (Australia/UK, drum ‘n’ bass), Stereo Plaza (Kikvidze 17)15 June at 21.00The Australo-British sextet, found-ed in 2002, takes the genre to an-other level, never fearing to aug-ment traditional d ‘n’ b lines with heavy guitar riffs and unique vocal stylings. Achieving an immediate hit with their debut single Another Planet, Pendulum scored a land-mark success when their debut al-bum Hold Your Colour became the biggest-selling drum ‘n’ bass record of all time. Their next, In Silico, broke yet more new ground, in that it was recorded “live in studio” and featured grinding metal riffs, bring-ing in yet more rock fans in search of a new sound. Pendulum comes to Kyiv on the back of their latest release, Immersion, which pushes the band’s creative envelope as far as elements of death-metal. This gig should see fans of various genres coming together to pay trib-ute to truly fearless creativity. And they’ll groove too, so it sounds like a superb deal.Tickets are 300-500hrv.

Finding the Way OutZEH GALLERY On 20 May, Ukrainian artist Michael Merfenko invited guests to wander a little through his creation, the Labyrinth. Objects of art, video, graphics and performance were united in one wide-ranging project aimed at proving to visitors that – even in the most desperate of times – there is always at least one way out. Many guests gathered on the night to enjoy this philosophical approach to fi nding the right way in life. The exhibition runs until 26 June, so you still have time to come and fi nd your own exit.

Bringing Together the Best European Movies in the Centre KYIV CINEMA Kyiv was the fi rst city in Ukraine to host a European Film Festival opening in one of its cinemas. On 26 May, cinephiles gathered for the opening ceremony of the festival dedicated to Europe Day. This year, the festival was inspired by two ideas: socially engaged cinema and the idea of international co-production. Movies made in Algiers, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kyrgyzstan, Morocco, Russia, Serbia and Ukraine will be shown during the course of the festival. The festival is also held in Donetsk and its popularity is growing rapidly.
Wind MastersKyiv Sea On 22 May, the fourth season of the WindMaster Regatta wrapped up. For fi ve days, more than 30 yachts sailing under the fl ags of fi ve teams competed for victory in three divisions, including Sportboat, BigBoat and Star Division. The latter division, by the way, included the children and youth competition category, in which 17 young sailors, the youngest of whom was 9 years old, took part. The main prize of the competition – a yacht – was presented to the Kyiv Children’s Yacht School, thus beginning a new tradition, according to which a yacht will be donated every year to the school represented by the winning team. The Regatta is over for now, but not for long, as autumn will once again see a fl eet of yacht lovers competing on the Kyiv Sea.

Used To Be a WinnerUsed To Be a Winner3434
Kateryna Kyselyova
ing dancer of Ukrainian origin, Leonid Safonov. From the very beginning, this dance performance was totally experimental: Denys and Leonid de-veloped the idea, found the composer and choreographer and brought in their friend from a theatre agency, to help get the show staged. Without the support of a PR agency or manager, they created a show which astonishes with its sensuality and psychological impact. Denys tells the story of how the whole thing began: “I won’t be so modest as not to say that the idea, like anything genuine, was born in my kitchen. Lyonya came over and we, hun-gry for creativity, were eager to do something completely new. You see, when you’ve been in ballet 15 years and you’ve danced all the versions of Swan Lake, you long for the new fl exibility that is modern choreography.”
A Fruitful PartnershipBoth Denys and Leonid have already worked with such world-renowned modern choreographers as Frederic Ashton, William Forsythe and others, but working with Eduard Klyug (the Slovenian modern choreographer who staged the Quatro Ballet) was not an easy thing, says Denys. “Classical bal-let is mathematics: there are defi ned positions and defi ned rules. Classical ballet is easy to understand: you take a libretto, read the plot and watch the dance. In modern choreography it’s different – it touches the subconscious of the audience. It’s mostly true that modern choreography has no story, but Klyug manages to depict a story, even with modern movement! If you ask me what Quatro is about, I’d have to say that it’s about love, betrayal and parting. In an amazing way, the ballet resonates with the feelings and problems each viewer experiences at the moment of viewing. I can say that I’ve had a lot of feedback about Quatro. It’s not doing any good to talk about it, however; it has to be seen, in order to understand its meaning.Leonid Safonov, Matvienko’s dancing partner in Quatro, received a Golden Mask – one of the most prestigious theatre awards in Russia, for his role in Quatro this year, so I cannot but ask how Denys saw this award. “I treat it as a great win for all of us. It was a pure experiment from the very begin-ning and we were competing with the real grandees, like the Bolshoi Theatre, the Mariinsky, and we won. It’s proof that we did ev-erything right.”Towards the end of our chat, I ask a questions that always causes some discomfort for bal-let dancers: whether he feels young dancers breathing down his neck. I get a very ambitious answer: “The most diffi -cult thing is to fi ght your own ambition. When you’re over 30, you are a young man, but you’re already on the home-stretch at that age in ballet, so the best I can do is to keep myself fi t as long as possible. I’m used to being a winner and I’ve still got many things to conquer, in both ballet and in life.”
The event is of particular interest, in that the fi rst part of the eve-ning will include fragments from the best-known classical bal-lets, including Don Quixote, Raimonda and Sleeping Beauty, while the second part will feature the Ukrainian premiere of the
Quatro Modern Ballet, which has already been met with great acclaim in Russia and Finland. As passionate fans of classic ballet and modern chore-ography, What’s On catches up with Denys Matvienko, one the St. Peters-burg Mariinsky Theatre’s prime soloists, on his private visit to Kyiv, to ask him about Quatro and his life in Russia.
Early DaysI remember seeing Denys Matvienko perform on the stage of the National Opera Theatre in Kyiv when he was probably 16; even back then, the au-dience spotted Denys’ outstanding abilities and true talent immediately, welcoming his performance with loud and sustained applause. His talent, plus hard work, took him to the highest level of mastery in ballet and the honourable position as prime soloist at the Mariinsky as well as bringing him various prestigious international awards. However, there were many tumultuous events taking place behind the curtain of his overwhelming success and Denys is quite open about. “I got to know ballet when I was 10, but started to love, understand and practice it when I was 15. Out of 8 years studying in choreography school, half the time I played the fool! You know, when a boy is 13, he fi nds it a lot more interesting to hang out with his friends and try his fi rst cigarette, than to train in a dancing class. But one day it changed drastically.”Immediately after graduating from the Kyiv College of Choreography at the age of 18, Denys became the prime soloist of the National Opera Theatre of Ukraine. Having proved himself as a bright and outstanding dancer, able to cope with most diffi cult parts in the classical ballet repertoire, Matvienko went to work for the Mikhaylovsky St. Petersburg Theatre, before moving on to the Mariinsky, where he remains today.
Trouble Ahead for Ukraine’s Ballet Star Incubator?Identifying himself as a representative of the “Ukrainian school of ballet” (a famous notion in dancing circles), he says he misses Ukraine a lot. “I went back to Kyiv to work twice, but still prefer to work in Russia. The reasons are different: in Russia they pay dancers, and pay much more than here. Secondly, just compare the repertoires of the National Ukrainian Opera and the Mariinsky Theatre: you’ll see the difference and that’s why I’m still there. The Ukrainian school of ballet was powerful when I was studying, but today Ukraine is still using “old stock”. If you don’t fertilise the ground, it will not bear fruit and it’s obvious to me that Ukraine will soon suffer a great crisis in ballet. But it’s still true that Ukraine produces a great many talented people – in sport, in theatre, in art – that’s just the kind of country this is! In Rus-sian theatres, most of the world-class dancers come from Ukraine!”Matvienko’s visit to Ukraine this year is a special one, as he will present the Quatro Modern Ballet, created in cooperation with another outstand-
The beginning of summer in Kyiv brings an outstanding event – the visit of world ballet stars Nikolay Tsiskadze, Leonid Safonov, Denys Matvienko and other soloists of the Bolshoi and Mariinsky Theatres.
