A Bit of BanditryA clip surfaced on Facebook last week (yes we were surfi ng the web when we were supposed to be working – it happens) that sent shockwaves through all those who saw it in our offi ce. By chance, it caught on tape three men in black carrying a variety of guns, a couple of which looked to be AK-47s, and fi ring twice at a silver Seat Ibiza. According to various sources, the target was a courier for EkoMarket who had 500,000hrv on his person.

The trio in black, who emerged from a black Porsche Panamara with no licence plates, pointed their guns at the driver and smashed the rear driver’s side window as the driver of the hatchback made frantic attempts to get away, which he did. All the action took place on Hlybochytska on Thursday 3 October at 11.26 in the morning – a lovely time for a bit of banditry.

Apparently, the case is now being investigated, but only after a lethargic start by police who, it was said, would not open a case because they had heard nothing about it. Typical.

Wikipedia Comes to OdesaThere are some fabulous innovations taking place in Odesa these days in the way of QR codes. Equipping various landmarks in the southern Ukrainian city with the new technology, anyone with a smart phone can just scan the code and a wealth of informa-tion will appear care of Wikipedia.

It’s an incredible project, which has already seen 15 landmarks in the city, such as the Russian Theatre, the Bristol Hotel and the Sheikh’s Palace, fi tted out with the codes. What’s great is that project organis-ers are open to suggestions as to which buildings deserve a QR code: if you want your favourite landmark added all you have to do is create a page about it on Wikipedia, or send organisers a link to an existing page on the electronic encyclopaedia.

The project is part of plans to celebrate Odesa’s 220th birthday in 2014 in style, and thanks to organisers Wikipedia and NGO Odesa 2.0 they have already made a good head start. As Ukraine’s fi rst wiki-city, should the project embrace all the city’s landmarks, Odesa will become the world’s fi rst city with over one million residents to successfully implement such a project!

Pressure Mounts Before SummitThe European Union had gone strangely quiet over the jailing and requested release of former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko in recent months. However, various leaders are getting back on the human rights bandwagon with a recent visit by Ireland’s former European Parliament president Pat Cox and ex-Polish president Alexander Kwasniewski. The two were in town on Friday 4 October to specifi cally ask President Yanukovych, or as we like to call him, the big lug, to pardon Tymoshenko once and for all. It’s very likely to have come up at the party in Krakow earlier this week on Monday 7 October too, when our prized palooka met there with counterparts from Germany, Italy and Poland.

For her part Tymoshenko, the guiling gas princess – who isn’t necessarily as innocent as she’d like everyone to believe, but has certainly been jailed in a completely un-democratic ploy for the current president to maintain power – has said she would accept the offer to bugger off to Germany if only to “ease the situation ahead of the Eastern Partnership summit, for the sake of a successful Vilnius and a successful Ukraine, for the sake of a historic and crucial agreement with the EU”. Mighty magnanimous of her.

While nothing has been decided yet, the EU has warned Ukraine that it will not sign the landmark deal next month unless Tymoshenko is released from her seven-year conviction for abuse of power. There are serious queries over “heavy tax legisla-tion, torturous bureaucracy” and “rampant corruption among offi cials” too, according to Reuters, on which some sort of agree-ment needs to be made before the anything gets signed in Vilnius.

So, the question remains, will the coun-try’s presidential pinhead pay heed to the wishes of the west or will he feign power-lessness and leave Tymoshenko to rot in jail, imposing more or less the same fate for the country? Tune in next week folks, for more antics between the powers that be.

Charged for Driving in the Centre of Kyiv! Maybe Soon!In the run-up to the big fat Association Agreement being (hopefully) signed next month, Kyiv has been trudging along, working at making the city that much more effi cient in terms of transport. According to reports by our esteemed traffi c police, a “congestion tariff” could be meted out to all drivers in the centre of the capital in the near future.

The idea is to rid Kyiv of the dreaded traffi c snarls that bring the city to a stop on an almost daily basis, with a suggested perimeter surrounding the centre, which would elicit a tariff to cross. Currently, the perimeter is set to include such streets as Chernovola – Glybochytska – Verkhniy and Nyzhniy Vals – Naberezhnoe Kreshchatytska – Naberezhnoe Shosse – Druzhby Narodiv – Lybidska Pl – Gorky – Bozhenko – Korolenkovskaya – Zhulyanska – Peremohy Pl.

The authorities are currently considering several options as to how to control entry. Head of police Valeriy Koryak said, “Perhaps it will be a system of coupons and barriers, as they have in Europe. However nothing can happen without approval, and hopefully not soon as winter is coming.” As always, the metropolitan militia are logical if nothing else. An easier way to reduce congestion, however, would be to stop shutting down the streets every time an

“imporant” person wants to travel.Those worried about not being able to get around in the centre without their cars need not:

there are already plans in place for parking lots around the suggested tariffed perimeter, not far from local metro stops and other public transport options. Wow – the transition is taking place...

Half of Kyiv Could Be Left Without HeatApparently, half of the residents of Ukraine’s capital could be left without heating for the fore-casted fi rst frosts of autumn, according to a report issued by the press service of Kyiv energo.

Apparently, Kyivtransgaz has cut gas pressure to combined heat and power generation plants fi ve and six in the city, and because of this, the plants cannot heat enough water to warm the radiators in the homes in the parts of the city they service.

Why? According to the report, Kyivtrans gaz cut the pressure to the power stations owned by Kyivenergo because Kyivenergo owes 2.1 billion hryvnia to Naftogaz Uk raine. Kyivenergo said it does not have the money to pay the debt due to money’s it has not received from the budget and from consumers.

As of 3 October, Kyivenergo was only supplying heat to 17.6% of residential buildings in the city, and it is unsure when it will be able to turn on the heat for the rest of the city. So if you’ve already got hot water pumping through your radiators, you’re very lucky. If not, you might be advised to invest in a heater or two, ’cause it’s only gonna get colder, and it may be a bit of a wait before your centralised heating comes on.

Denys Matvienko and Radu Poklitaru are among the biggest names in mod-ern Ukrainian ballet and in the heat

of summer it seemed as if Ukraine was losing them both. The former caught in limbo by conservative management, which he claims was a deliberate attempt to stifl e his creativity, the latter in a fi nancial drain that forced him to deliver an ultimatum to the government. So just what happened in Kyiv’s ballet scene and where do things lie now?

unofficial appointmentThe fi rst scandal erupted with Matvienko who, after earning fame in Russia and the rest of the ballet world, made a homecoming to the National Opera of Ukraine to head the ballet company and bring to Kyiv legendary modern ballets like Radio&Juliet, Complexions and many others. He was an instant hit with audi-ences and the opera theatre was packed every time Matvienko took to the stage.

However, in April the dancer found out his appointment to the post of director of the National Opera’s Ballet Company had never been signed by management. He did not believe it was an oversight. “There has always been oppo-sition to talent and pro-foundness,” Matvienko commented about the situation. Later, in July he “offi cially” resigned from his unoffi cial po-sition with the theatre and his resignation let-ter was signed in dra-matic fashion by the head of the opera, Petro Chupryna, outside on the square in front of the Opera House.

dual dramaAt about the same time, a press conference took place, where Radu Poklitaru, acclaimed choreographer and director of Kyiv Modern Ballet (KMB), stated he had dismissed his

whole dance company, as he could no longer afford to top-up their offi cial salaries. KMB was founded in 2006 and was originally spon-sored by businessman Volodymyr Filippov. After the 2008 fi nancial crisis the patron could no longer lend fi nancial support and in 2009 KMB offi cially became part of the Kyiv Municipal Academic Opera and Ballet Theatre for Children and Youth.

Being a state-funded institution meant the salaries of the dancers were modest: “It’s around 3,000hrv,” Poklitaru says. “As you can imagine it’s impossible to live in Kyiv with this money. Many of my dancers are from other Ukrainian cities, so they have to rent apartments and share with two or three peo-ple – it’s uncomfortable and humiliating, so I understand why many of them have left in search of better fi nancial conditions.”

From April to June, Poklitaru lost nine of his 21 dancers, and backed into a corner, he issued an ultimatum: close the theatre or attempt to get some serious support from the state. “It’s ridiculous Ukraine cannot afford the 40 people of KMB – a ballet that repre-

sents Ukraine from Portu gal to Thai land and gets standing ovations and international ac-knowledgement,” Poklitaru said at the time.

ukraine’s lossMatvienko is vocal in his criticism of the Na tional Opera of Ukraine’s management:

“I cannot recall a single occasion that a talent-ed individual going into the National Opera has not been kicked out! I hoped it wouldn’t happen to me...that I’d be an exception, but later realised my work – including six new ballets and bringing in world-famous danc-ers – was obviously viewed unfavourably by management.”

He admits it was an emotionally taxing experience. “My biggest regret through this whole story is I had given hope to dancers – they’ve experienced a new level of work and management. Now they are left with noth-ing – things in the theatre are going back to what they used to be. On the other hand, I don’t regret trying – it’s been an experience for me!”

This “extremely unpleasant story” as Matvienko calls it, coincided with what is prob-ably the most important event in any person’s life – the birth of a child. “When my daughter Liza smiles,” he says, “all bad feelings melt

away! After all, this story has a happy ending: my wife Nastya is a prima at the Mariinskiy Theatre in St Petersburg so we had to decide whether she would end her dancing career and stay with me in Ukraine, live between two cities, which is tough taking into account our child, or leave. So, now we are back in St Petersburg and both back to work.”

He does not have a full-time job and does not want one, preferring to be an “invited solo-ist” at such prestigious theatres as the Bol shoi Thea tre, New Na tio-nal Thea tre, Teatro alla

Sca la, Grand Ope ra, and the Ame ri can Ballet Theatre. His loss to Ukraine is Russia’s gain, though he says it’s not for ever – Matvienko

Scandal, Stage LeftThe theatrical world is renowned for its, well, theatrics but when the drama off-stage starts to rival that onstage there’s a problem. Last summer Kyiv’s theatre scene was rocked by scandals involving the biggest names in classical and modern ballet in Ukraine – Denys Matvienko, ex-soloist of the National Opera, and Radu Poklitaru, cho-reographer and director of Kyiv Modern Ballet. What’s On revisits the drama now the weather and emotions have cooled and the new theatre season has opened.

“ My biggest regret through this whole story is I had given hope to dancers”

– Denys Matvienko

A Spectacular Evening of BalletDialogue featuring Denys Matvienko (UA) and Nina Ananiashvili (GE)Palace Ukraine (V Vasylkivska 103)14 October at 19.00

Ukraine’s greatest star of the ballet Denys Matvienko along with Georgia’s Nina Ananiashvili are coming together for an evening of artistic dialogue. Ballets such as Radio and Juliet, Quatro and other equally intelligent modern pieces will be presented this evening, as well as a few classical favourites. Anastasiya Matvienko, the Mariinskiy Theatre’s prima, and wife of Matvienko will also be performing, after a short maternity break. Welcome them all back to the stage this autumn.

Tickets are 80 –1,200hrv 247-2316

The New Swan LakeThe Contemporary Swan Lake (modern-ballet in two acts) featuring the Kyiv Modern BalletKyiv Theatre of Opera & Ballet for Children & Youth (Mezhyhirska 2)15 October at 19.00

One of the Ukrainian capital’s most well-known and loved contemporary collec-tives has taken a choreographic classic and made it their own, thanks to the genius of dance master Radu Poklitaru. Swan Lake is reborn in this new, con-temporary version, which sees Odette magically turned human. As a philo-sophical refl ection in movement, the question as to living someone else’s fate is central. The answer, which sees our no longer feathered heroine as someone she is not, proves a cruel verdict.

promises to perform in Kyiv as often as possible in his busy tour schedule.

ukraine’s gainFor Poklitaru the battle for his theatre was also a diffi cult one: for more than two months the Minister of Culture Leonid Novokhatko could not fi nd time to meet with him. When

the meeting fi nally happened in the middle of summer, Poklitaru threw down the gauntlet outlining point blank the need for the arts sec-tor to be adequately funded. “Ukraine is now experiencing great interest in dancing. Take any gym, any school sports hall and you’ll see people of all ages – from kids to grannies, dancing Latino, modern, capoeira even! At the same time, Ukraine so far has not got even a centre of modern choreography!”

The latter was among options Poklitaru considered for his theatre and is exactly

what the minister fi nally promised to support: a centre of modern choreography named, again, Kyiv Mo dern Ballet. Its aim is, like the original, to promote modern dance culture in Uk raine, but its scope has been widened. The centre will hold master classes, schools, fes-tivals, exchanges, and, of course, create new and original productions. The next major

“ Indifference is worse than straight-forward evil because we encounter it much more often”– Radu Poklitaru

performance in Uk raine overseen by Pok-litaru is planned for March of next year – it promises to be a large-scale production of the folk opera When Fern Blossoms staged in Palace Ukraine and featuring not only KMB dancers, but the Veryovka Ukrainian Folk Choir, and members of the symphony orches-tra. Despite his victory, Poklitaru says it was the indifference that initially disappointed him: “Indifference is worse than straight-forward evil because we encounter it much more often.” W

the laws of gravity with balloons of all shapes and sizes! Mimes and clowns will be on hand too,

leading the adventure throughout space with more than 5,000 balloons. Take part in contests, interactive games,

or dare to dart off in the direction of the stars and explore unknown lands on a balloon rocket – it’s all happening at the House of Artists.

Cold as Eskimo PieEskimo Callboy (DE, metal core)Metropol Concert Hall (Prorizna 8)13 October at 19.00

Since 2010, German metalcore band Eskimo Callboy has been getting serious with their mu-sic, a mix of metalcore and post-hardcore with a bit of techno thrown in for good measure. Releasing their fi rst self-titled EP that same year, the group have gone on to play many a festival on the European continent, Asia, and for the fi rst time this spring the US. With lyrics that deal with getting drunk, parties and sex, these guys are all about letting the good times roll.

Zoom in on British MusicThe Telescopes (UK, indie)Underground Music Hall (Moskovskiy 13b)15 October at 19.00

Brits have always been known to produce mu-sic with the necessary edge to make it in the biz, and The Telescopes – formed in 1987, are no exception. Inspired by The Jesus and Mary Chain, My Bloody Valentine and Spacemen 3, this sextet created their own distinct sound, often characterised as noise rock, space pop and psychedelic. Focusing their attention on singles and EPs as opposed to albums, their releases are in the dozens.

Promoting fashion in its purest form, Daria Shapovalova set the stage in 2010 with the Kyiv Fashion Days project,

showcasing local talent while bringing in big names in the design biz. On its seventh sea-son, the event, now backed by the luxurious Mercedes Benz brand, opens next week, and continues along its cutting edge path of ball gowns and Bolero jackets. Packing a variety of programmes and presentations into this four-day event, grab yourself an invitation (if you can) and start making a list of all the lust-haves for next season.

the eventsFashion Scout Kyiv is an international pro-gramme of presentations, including a show-room of the best designers around Eastern Europe. Mercedes Benz Kyiv Fashion Days’s Daria Shapovalova says, “Fashion Scout Kyiv is a project that has been held successfully in London and Paris, and Kyiv will continue the tradition. Our joint goal with our British partners is to make Kyiv the central meeting place of all young and talented designers from Eas tern Europe and the post-Soviet countries.”

The founder of Fashion Scout Martin Roberts says, “Kyiv is the fi rst step for design-ers who are willing and ready to enter the in-ternational market.” Roberts, along with other international guests of the fashion industry, will be holding a series of special mentoring sessions for all participating designers as well public lectures for all guests of MBKFD.

As a trade show for designers of jewel-lery and accessories, Levels is another great event held under MBKFD. There is a rap-idly growing number of designers creating unique jewellery and accessories in Ukraine, many of whom will be on hand to showcase their work.

Kyiv Fashion Institute is a “rich and unique” project providing lectures and master classes by leading local and international experts. Held for the second time, watch for some big names!

And, as an added bonus, Mercedes Benz will be presenting their new concept car at the opening, the all-new 2015 Mercedes Benz GLA-Class. W

It’s Me is a brand for independent individuals who do not accept the system of the general masses. For these people, the design, not the brand, is the most important.

– Dina Lynnyk,Ukrainian designer

My designs convey the beauty and joy that I value in my own life. I want to bring softness and elegance to an urban feminine wardrobe and to help a woman express her individuality through her unique clothing. The fi nal goal is to build a strong and recognisable brand.

– Irina Krasilnikova, Ukrainian designer

I am a graphic designer, but my roots go deep into art. In creating this new collection, I want to connect the line between art and fashion. I will be presenting energetic creations, which are sensual and full of contradictions, clean lines and modern silhouettes.

– Rybalko,Ukrainian designer

Just as in life, I don’t want to feel any boundaries in fashion. Trying my hand at Fashion Scout Kyiv challenges me, and I am not sure my work will be understood by everyone, but I do not want to become part of the mainstream either. I am ready and very excited to introduce my fairytale world.

– Petra Ptackova,Czech designer

The spring and autumn seasons are dotted (sometimes of the polka va-riety, depending on the trend at the time) with fashion events across the world. Here in Kyiv, the catwalk is being put to good use just as it would be in London, Paris and Tokyo and it’s thanks to one of the city’s most re-cent additions to the design sphere – Mercedes Benz Kyiv Fashion Days.CutAboveA

Basta If you are a fan of Russian rap

you’ll have defi nitely heard of Basta, or his other incarna-

tions Nogano and N1nt3nd0. All three are the creation of Vasiliy Vakulenko, but each of them has a different face. The lyrical Basta, the brutal Nogano and the cybernetic N1nt3nd0 are used to send his message out to the Russian-speaking world. On this occasion we speak to the fi rst of his personas – Basta.

Basta 4 has been three years in the making. What took you so long?Alongside working on the album we were also involved in creating N1nt3nd0 – hip-hop in South American style. N1nt3nd0 is about gangsters and tracks of the 90s like Cherniy Pistolet (Black Gun), Mama ama Kriminal (Mama ama Criminal), Pulya Navylet (Bullet Right Through) and so on.

Tell us about the track list on Basta 4 – is there an overarching theme or message?It’s sad in the beginning and bright at the end. The track Eto Vse (This is Everything) – is defi nitely the light at the end of the tunnel.

Listening to your tracks, rap seems to be your passion, devotion, and lifestyle. Why would you say rap is so close to your heart?Rap is a comfortable and open form of narration for me – it’s how I like to communicate.

Do you remember when you fi rst experienced this genre? What at-tracted you to it?When I was a child I listened only to metal: Biohazard, Black

basta(RU, rap)18 October at 19.00Tickets: 250 –1,200hrvStereo Plaza (Kikvidze 1) 222-8040

Three Faces ofRussian rap star Basta, aka Vasiliy Vakulenko, is returning to Kyiv with his fourth album Basta 4, released earlier this year. A rapper with a 16-year career, a back catalogue of eight albums, and several different guises, his lyrics are confrontational and direct, as Basta addresses what he sees in the world around him and he does so without fear of judgement. He tells What’s On a little more about his music and his life philosophy in the run up to his show.

fi rst musical mentor. Were music les-sons a disaster for you at that time?Yes and yes. My granny was Alla Razdaybeda, who was from Kyiv by the way.

Tell us about your journey into mu-sic – what happened along the way?I was walking, falling, getting up and walking further. This is the way of every man.

What do you think about your popularity, does it come with some responsibility?Of course, responsibility is important. I’m from Rostov-on-Don, so I know what it means to be responsible. (Smiles)

Usually it’s the young who listen to rap, but as they get older move onto other genres. Is the rap framework getting narrow for you, have you thought of branching out into other forms of music?Well, you’re not completely right about the youth. Rap is the most developing genre. Analysis of the hip-hop industry shows rap is listened to by people 13 to 60 years old. Can you imagine that range in any other genre?

Some of your tracks have a politi-cal subtext – is it a creative protest against what’s happening in Russia? Did you get any calls after the song Solntsa ne Vidno (No Sun is Seen) was released?This is not a protest. This is just what’s happening around me. I didn’t get any threats, at least not yet.

Your songs draw a picture of your personality as being uncompromis-ing, straightforward, brutally hon-est – surely somewhere deep inside you are romantic and perhaps even somewhat sentimental?You are 100% right! I’m pleased you understand me and my work. W

Sabbath and so on. When rap came on the scene and became more mainstream, it was something completely new for me and so it went further. Onyx, Public Enemy, Cypress Hill, House of Pain, Wu-Tang Clan – they were my favourites. It’s easy – rap is riot, protest. Rap replaced punk and rock.

Speaking about how you got your start, your grandmother was your
