Employees are carrying cakes past us and giving the last polish: we are talking a few minutes before the official opening of Bondarenko Confectionery House “embassy” in Uzhgorod. Finally, branded sweets will be available for residents of the regional center – in a cozy cafe-confectionery on Teatralna Square, very close to the Philharmonic.
A U.S. citizen George Bilkanych has been living in Transcarpathian outback, in a small village of Velyky Berezny district for over ten years, but to the general public he has become known only recently – after being robbed of about 100,000 (!) dollars.
The name of Mykhailo Dorohovych – well known in not too narrow circles of Transcarpathian artists – has been spread all over the Interenet after his voyage to a remote, romantic and mysterious Kamchatka. Photos, taken and published by the master made him even more respected. Here is the hero, who can overcome both horizontal and vertical kilometers, refuting myths about the inaccessibility of lands and dreams. The conversation with Mykhailo confirmed the presence of mystical quality in his personality and proved that modern heroes are not without romance. And, perhaps, thanks to it, they get stronger, harder and more attractive.
From May 25, the fast train number 7/8 “Chop-Kyiv”, which departed at 18.10, will no longer run. This information was confirmed in the Call Centre of the Uzhgorod train station. There will also be different schedule for the train “Uzhgorod-Kyiv”, which used to depart at 23.08. However, the new schedule of trains has not been posted on the official website of the “UZ”.
It seems today the topic of Transcarpathian roads united the media, the officials of various ranks, and Transcarpathians indifferent to politics. This is understandable, because all without exception suffer significant losses due to bad roads. We talked with the owner of one of the Khust garages Roman Melnyk about the deplorable condition of cars and the amount of money spent by our drivers due to extreme driving on Ukrainian roads.
Reforming of higher education in Ukraine is scheduled for this year – which is shocking and, according to some workers in this sector, will lead to its collapse. On March 12 the President approved the National Action Plan for this year. The document says a lot about the reform of higher education.
Not all Transcarpathian cities managed to refresh the greenery this spring. In some cities landscaping is performed with enthusiasm, in others – not so much.
You have no place to live? Can not find a job for yourselves or your children that have graduated? They say there is no money for schools and medicine? Your problem is that you are Transcarpathians, so you have to take care of yourselves. Meanwhile the head of the region Oleksandr Ledyda by his decree number 92 dated March 25 approved “The regional plan for the integration of refugees and persons in need of additional protection in Ukrainian society.”
Are the streets of the regional center clean? Be not hasty to shake your heads or bridle, because the budget provides for the cleaning nearly 6 million (!) hryvnias. And more than one and a half million has been allocated for landscaping. The money went to, in addition to utilities, some private entities. They are owned, as it turned out, by housing offices’ directors.
The joy about clean trash containers in Uzhgorod did not last long: today, 3 months after the establishment of the “AVE Uzhgorod” company, some containers are overfilled again.
