Ukraine pulls my head out…
I am very interested in this Ukrainian election and protest. It is probably due to wife and I recently returning from doing our DTS, which spent one month in Russia. I loved it there even though it was a difficult and oppressive environment. The Russian people have big hearts and I now have a heart for them.
I have been following reports primarily from Jennifer’s Blog who is and American living and teaching in Western Ukraine. Just today, I followed a link from The Politburo Diktat to The Orange Revolution, an article by Time Magazine.
I have never had much use for news, but this news has brought my usually entrenched head out of the sand as far as political affairs. I have not read enough to even make a semi-intelligent comment, but wanted to state my interest in the matter.
To follow this interest, I have looked up a few blogs from Ukraine in English:
- Discoshaman and his wife, TulipGirl live in Kiev.
- Veronica’s blog is a good place for information
- Orange Ukraine has news from the Yushchenko camp.
- “Maidan” – An Internet Hub for Civil Resistance to Authoritarianism in Ukraine
I’m sure there are many more good blogs and websites, but my poor little head is hurting from all this news. After quite a while of searching, I can’t find a blog in support of Yanukovych. So much for being balanced. If you know of any other good links (preferably blogs from Ukrainians), put them in a comment.
