In 2014 Vladimir Putin tried to justify his occupation of Ukraine's Crimea peninsula by saying that well they all speak Russian there. But just because many Ukrainians speak Russian, it doesn't mean they want to be governed by Moscow.

A parallel example: The British for centuries sought to suppress the Irish language, just as both imperial and Soviet Moscow did to the Ukrainian language. Today all Irish people speak English but they are still Irish not British.

And unlike the Irish, the Ukrainians have kept their language fully alive as the daily-use language of millions of people, and those numbers are increasing.

Excerpt from Real Ukraine podcast. You can listen to the full episode, 'Putin is Rattling Nerves of Americans and Europeans, Not Ukrainians', which I co-host with my friend, Ukrainian Konstantyn Chyzhyk, via these links:

"The National Interest has done this before, showering Ukraine with negative suppositions. At the outset of the pandemic, two writers there predicted that Ukraine would collapse:

"«The writing is on the wall,» Melinda Haring and Doug Klein wrote in the U.S. publication the National Interest 31 March 2020, just as the pandemic began. «Ukraine is headed for major catastrophe.» "

That catastrophe did not occur.

"All of our life is about connections": Joe Lindsley, American journalist; Zakhar Pikh, Ukrainian bartender; and Timmy Harris, New Orleans bartender and chef welcome you to listen to the Speak Freely podcast. They discuss:

—motivation to excel, whether it's a BMW or collecting stories from travels

—the difference between the American 'How are you?' and the Ukrainian 'How are you?'

—In America Do We Value ‘Politeness’ Over ‘Meaning’?

—What to Drink? the grasshopper, Negroni, and the gin-and-tonic as the basic of what is a good bar

— what’s the best part of bartending and what’s the worst

—and a new word — 'unexpectable'

via the link you can listen on Spotify, YouTube, etc.

**Includes explicit language--so you can judge if you think Americans or Ukrainians are more polite.**

Plus: What to drink? Do words have more meaning in Ukraine than in the USA?

With Winnie the Pooh, Ukrainian Punk Rockers Play for the Chinese People /// Why Does Music Matter episode 1.5

Seeking to ‘bring back Ukrainian rock culture,’ Dity Inzheneriv (‘Children of Engineers’) play to remind Ukrainians to stand with oppressed people worldwide. Their new single has the calm name, «Textbooks» («Підручники»), but the song and its cover art are a volley at one of the world’s most powerful regimes: It’s an image of the cartoon-bear Winnie-the-Pooh.

In China, the image of «Pooh Bear» is illegal, because dissidents have used it to criticize Chinese president Xi Jinping. Dity Inzheneriv wrote this song to remind Ukrainians not to lose the spirit of their 2014 Revolution of Dignity and to stand with those people around the world who are not free like Ukrainians today, especially the Hong Kongers, the Uighurs, and the Belarusians.

Ukraine is so often in the global news for unpleasant reasons, but here's a pleasant story about Lviv by American Rhodes Scholar Lauren Spohn: “More than stimulation—more than the wine and jazz and vogue ideas—they’ve found friends. They’ve become embedded in a community. They’re not a Lost Generation, so much as a found one.”

Serhiii Pukov, software engineer, songwriter, and punk rocker, says he’s trying to «bring back Ukrainian rock culture,» and he wants to do so only in the Ukrainian language. He is one of a growing number of young people who as a kid spoke Russian–his Ukraine-born father is ethnic Russian–but now chiefly speaks Ukrainian.

From Joe Lindsley's Fake News, True Story: A Manual of Escape from Attention-Stealing Madness:

"Why did Chuck Norris not feed us?

"Maybe it was Fat Camp for Roger and me. We surely needed it, what with the influence of three and a half daily breakfasts and the Danish Closet and Olive Garden (a coming attraction) and Rocky Road ice cream upon our lives.

"Or maybe the withholding of food and hospitality was a security protocol: Chuck was old now and weak, and keeping his guests hungry and weakened might have been the only way to ensure his safety. But no—

"Or maybe this is republican life, this is the country that George Washington fought for in the Hudson Highlands in the 18th century: a nation free of manners and strictures. We’ve got no time for niceties like, “offer your guests some snacks” or for anti-republican sentiments like “let them have a little cake,” not when there’z liberalz to fight."

"Maybe this was the most absurdist bit of the absurd American saga." —from Chuck Norris: The Analysis, excerpted from Joe Lindsley's Fake News, True Story:

A friend asked what I had never considered. Why did Chuck 
Norris not feed us? The whole episode was so unreal I can sooner believe my dreams than I can believe I stole food from his kitchen.

So: Had it been Fat Camp for Roger Ailes and me? Or maybe the withholding of food was for security? Chuck was old now and weak …

Or perhaps this was simply republican life: a nation free of manners. We’ve got no time for niceties like, “offer your guests some snacks” or for anti-republican sentiments like “let them eat a little cake,” not when there’z liberalz to fight.

Maybe this was the most absurdist bit of the absurd American saga: the truest, most revealing thing: Empty souls without tradition, frameworks, manners, or melodies—just 
bazookas and 
pixelated Jesus pictures on the wall and a whole lotta rage and abyss-fearing angst in that lovely strange wild lost frontier land called America.

Joe Lindsley and James David Dickson talk about media that cares more about narratives than small "t" truths, aka facts, in episode 3 of our Attention Rebellion podcast. Mission: to devise media that creates value instead of stealing our attention.

We take a look at one of the biggest stories of the past week: the. Rittenhouse saga. All comments and critiques welcome.

Says James: “This halfway stuff of watching news all day but you don’t know anything: It has to be unsatisfying at some point I beg you all for that point to be right now”

From Lviv Now, here's an essay from Lauren Spohn about the surprising rootedness that wandering Americans have found in Ukraine.

“If 21st-century expats are searching Lviv for the same thing their 20th-century compatriots sought in Paris, they’ve found something different. More than stimulation–more than the wine and jazz and vogue ideas – they’ve found friends. They’ve become embedded in a community. They’re not a Lost Generation, so much as a found one.”

Today, 9pm in Lviv, 2pm in NYC, as part of the Integral Human Development virtual conference, we’ll have a conversation with Sixtus "Baggio" Leung and other Hong Kong exiles who have stood up to the regime of Beijing. But we’ll start with five minutes of breaking news: the Ukrainian story of activist Serhiy Sternenko, now in an Odesa prison. Seven years to the week after the successful conclusion of the Euromaidan Revolution, thousands of people have taken to the public squares demanding Sternenko's. Before exploring China's global influence in the matrix of human rights, we’ll talk briefly with one of Sergii’s close friends to see what the story is.

15/10/2020

Ukraine is once again, tangentially, caught up in American political news, with this week's strange story from the New York Post (which Facebook, doubting the story's veracity, censored). Here, from May 25, is our story "Ukraine in the Middle," showing how, for good or ill, recent stories about China, Russia, Iran, Israel, and the USA have all somehow included Ukraine. And at the end of this post, you can see an interesting update from last month: the US Treasury has sanctioned a key player in this saga.

" ... the Airspace Industry Corporation of China, or AVIC, is a shareholder in Skyrizon, which Ukraine’s security services have accused of an “enemy plot” against Ukraine because of its attempt to acquire [helicopter engine manufacturer] Motor Sich. AVIC also has intriguing American connections.

"Chinese-American investment firm BHR (Bohai Harvest RST) worked with AVIC to purchased Henninges, a Michigan-based automotive component manufacturer in 2015. BHR was cofounded, among others, by Hunter Biden, son of Joe Biden, and Christopher Heinz, heir to a ketchup fortune and stepson of John Kerry. Hunter had served on the board of Ukrainian energy firm Burisma, from 2014 to 2019. Both of their fathers, Biden and Kerry, appeared on the edited recordings with Poroschenko that Ukrainian MP Andriy Derkach released [in May]. UPDATE: On September 10, 2020, the U.S. Treasury sanctioned Derkach 'for attempting to influence the U.S. electoral process' and amid allegations he is a Russian agent."

14/10/2020

"The real trouble with digital advertising, argues former Google employee Tim Hwang—and the more immediate danger to our way of life—is that it doesn’t work," reports Wired magazine.

"Microtargeting is far less accurate, and far less persuasive, than it’s made out to be, he says, and yet it remains the foundation of the modern internet: the source of wealth for some of the world’s biggest, most important companies, and the mechanism by which almost every “free” website or app makes money. If that shaky foundation ever were to crumble, there’s no telling how much of the wider economy would go down with it."

In Lviv, local business owners have recognized this, especially during the pandemic. A revolution is afoot, and here someone deep on the inside corroborates concerns that hard-working people have long had.

And: what does Wired mean by "more immediate danger to our way of life?"

The scariest thing about microtargeted ads is that they just don’t work.

☑️Since independence in the 1990s, Eastern European nations, except Belarus have worked on "decommunization."

And for objective reasons, they have been willing to give up the economic "benefits" 📈 of communist China for values that cannot be sold. 💵

Now, Hong Kong, after 20 years of self-built liberty, is going through the other side of the process ⛓- "communization", led by China - the sister of the Soviet Union.

‼️ That is why it is fundamentally important that the Eastern European media focus on Hong Kong as much as it does on the protests 🦾 in Belarus

«Beautiful people from Hong Kong write stronger posts of support for Belarus🇧🇾 than some Ukrainian deputies.The Hong Kongers are incredible. Despite their own repression and struggle, they have the strength to worry about freedom in Ukraine🇺🇦 and Belarus, and call things their names.
I love them.»

Every blood-drop, every attack, every stolen life awakes Belarusians from Lukashenko's anabiosis, the sleeplike lethargy of a nation bound in chains.

It's only been a week of another month of 2020. During this time, Belarus🇧🇾 has transformed from a ′′where is that?" place and ′′North Korea of Europe′′ to the epicenter of the geopolitical narrative. Let's see. Either way - believe in the power of the Belarusian people. If they want, they can❗️

Russia's🇷🇺 new Crimean restrictions seem to be part of battling something other than coronavirus🦠

The attitude of Russia🇷🇺 to its soldiers can be considered looking at the World War 2️⃣ events, especially the Winter War with Finland and bloody Battle of the Dnieper, where the losses were shockingly high❌

But even now, it doesn’t seem to be different, regarding Russian reaction on capturing its mercinaries in Syria in 2017💣

In addition, the announced military exercises Caucasus 2020 raise the question of maintaining safety measures against Covid-19🦠, that seems to be complicated in such a massive event involving more than a 1️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ thousand participants. Considering these points, how can history clarify us the value of soldier’s life in Russian forces, then and now❓🧐

📝Despite the fact that the coronavirus pandemic continues, the world's leading countries are conducting military exercises.

This contradicts WHO recommendations as it is difficult to maintain social distance ↔️ and individual security during military exercises 🌪

But why Russia 🇷🇺 is going to involve more then 100.000 personnel in Caucasus 2020, (comparing to about 2.000 in NATO's exercise Sea Breeze 2020) and what it means for Ukraine❓Will the scenario of Georgia 2008 repeat❓

LvivLab analyzed 📊 and compared how Russia and NATO countries conduct military exercises for 2018-2020 years, how COVID-19 🦠affects them, and whether the method of conducting them due to the coronavirus pandemic has changed 📈

05/08/2020

The heft of the Ukrainian version of the word “if”— якщо, pronounced yak-shcho—maybe more accurately reflects the importance of “if.” Our efforts here in Lviv to improve how we communicate hinge upon that yakshcho: if, in defiance of the way media has been built for centuries, we can bring together people who normally wouldn’t think to work together, we can create a digital and human ecosystem of info exchange that connects citizens as sellers, buyers, producers, consumers, creatives, encouragers, storytellers, truthspeakers, and decision makers.

Our friend James Dickson at the Detroit News , who gave one of our first Lviv Lab webinars, posts a provocative piece on his personal website challenging us all to ask during this strange, consequential time, the question “if.”
