"It's really a shame that there is no avantgarde <strong>Ukrainian</strong> culture anymore in Toronto, like the AvantGarde <strong>Ukrainian</strong> <strong>The</strong>ater, their magazine Terminus and theband 'Vapniak Pid Holym Nebom' (Stalagmite Under A.Naked Sky). Culture has become very traditional and conservative,"Mr. Morozov said."We have the same types of entertainment in Lviv, on radio,television and stage," the entertainer continued. "One wantssomething modem. I understand why this is — they want toremember Ukraine like as it was. It is a shame that there reallyisn't much new being created."<strong>Ukrainian</strong> National AssociationMonthly reports for AugustDISBURSEMENTS FOR AUGUST, <strong>1993</strong>JUV.

"<strong>The</strong>y are struggling to overcomethe residuals of communism and are, atthe same time, trying to create a freemarket economy."In 1971,1 was in East Pakistan, шBangladesh, when it was becoming asovereign country," explained the formerdiplomat. "But they had the advantage ofhaving a provincial-government whichfollowed the British parliamentary system."<strong>The</strong> lack of a central bank and suchbasic amenities as city telephone directorieshaven't made life easier for Canadianorganizers in Ukraine."I heard someonedescribe it as a 'solid base in a fluid sea,'" Ms. Biggs told the conference."For this program to be truly effectiveand involve its <strong>Ukrainian</strong> partners," saidMr. Baran, "we have to realisticallyallow for it to develop over a 10-yearperiod." Project funding ends in threeyears.And while students will be taught tohone their analytical and problem-solvingskills at the institute, Mr. Baranhopes they won't jump for highersalaries in the private sector.MPA graduates must commit threeyears to working for the <strong>Ukrainian</strong> governmentdepartment that nominatedthem.Organizers hope to graduate 500students by project's end.In January, an IPALG satellite campusis scheduled to open in Dnipropetrovsk,in heavrly industrialized eastern Ukraine.Hospital partnerships...(Continued from page 2)have what is now in Ethiopia." HealthMinister Yuriy Spizhenko expressed thesame sentiment during a November 11speech in Parliament, "Today doctors facea dilemma: whether to cure the sick or tofeed them."In Dr. Didychenko's analysis, theUnited States currentiy faces the problemof how to maintain its high level of spendingon health care, currently 12 percent ofthe gross national product. Ukraine'sproblem is how to increase spending inthe field. A 1992 law mandates 10 percentof Ukraine's gross national product bespent on health care, but the true figureisonly 3.5 percent, which does not accountfor the battering inflation has inflicted onthe <strong>Ukrainian</strong> karbovanets.Under the АША program, Philadei^health personnel have visited \ .Didychenko's hospital three times, and hehas made two AIHA-connected trips to theUnited States. During a trip to observeAmerican health management, the<strong>Ukrainian</strong> doctor visited hospitals inChicago, Detroit, Washington, Philadelphiaand New York. <strong>The</strong> trip, he says, was "useful"and he became acquainted with "muchnew material."However, there is a great differencein circumstances between him and hisAmerican counterparts, he adds. Hismonthly salary, the highest at the hospital,totals 260,000 karbovantsi (about$10 at the current Kyyiv street marketrate). He said it is "very hard" for himto feed his family of five. Fortunately,the family is blessed with a garden thatprovides beets, cabbage, and potatoesfor the dinner table. Dr. Didychenkoadded.

Close anddeveloped commercial contacts andfriendly ties between the peoples of theBlack Sea region have existed since theancient times of Pontus Euxinus of theHospitable Sea as our ancestors calledthe Black Sea in the old days..."Today as never before, countries of theregion have exceptionally favorable prerequisitesfor the development of mutuallybeneficial cooperation in all fields of interstaterelations. Coordination of our effortsin this trend is capable of tuming the BlackSea region into an important section ofinteractions in a new Europe," he added.Addressing the members of PECPA,Ukraine's Parliament Chairman IvanPliushch pointed out that at this rime,many of the countries that are Black Searim nations are now engaged in wars:"<strong>The</strong> <strong>Ukrainian</strong> people perceive it withconcern and anguish that in the territoriesof the certain Black Sea state and otherneighboring countries the flames ofarmed conflicts have not been extinguished.Blood is being shed there; hundredsof thousands of citizens are becomingrefugees; fully innocent people areperishing, including children, and this isthe most terrible thing."Our Parliamentary Assembly cannotstand aside from these problems thataffect mankind. We all should haveenough wisdom to solve them by politicalmeans and in every possible way toextinguish the fires of existing conflictsand not let new ones emerge," he added.Parliamentary representatives from theBlack Sea rim countries also discussedthe necessity of developing ecologicalcooperation in the region, as Mr.Pliushch explained that Chornobyl is aglobal tragedy. "And Ukraine has beenleft alone to eliminate the aftermath ofthis terrible disaster. I would like you toimagine: for Ukraine, Chornobyl meansalmost 15 percent of our budget. Andthese funds can only partially satisfyessential needs of the population affectedby the disaster. In general, Ukraine isunable to comprehensively solve theproblems of Chomobyl," he noted.Although no documents were adoptedduring the three-day session, the Greekdelegation suggested the development ofa Black Sea Bank for Development andTrade, and the Romanian delegation suggestedthe training of Black Sea customsand patrol guards.ENH/)NCE rOUR PRESENTSWITH OUR PRESENCE!CALL TOLL FREE FOR OUR CATALOG FULL OF UKRAINIAN HEARTIFACfSjlUNIQUELY DESIGNED.
