Christ to Bishop Hemming, in St Birgitta, Revelationes I.52 Bishop Hemming and St Birgitta, Urdiala, Finland D uring many of her Revelations, St Birgitta of Sweden (1303-1373) heard Christ and the Virgin reveal the will of God, which she was to pass on to secular and clerical rulers, as well as to common people. These messages often fiercely urged their recipients to repent so that their souls would be saved from divine anger, and God's peace could rule the world. The spiritual messages were intertwined with visions for the practical reform of the church and secular kingdoms, which in Birgitta's day were troubled by wars, the Papacy's dislocation in Avignon (1309-1377) and epidemic of the plague later known as the Black Death (1347-1351). Bishop Hemming and Prior Peter made their journey between 1346 and 1349. Their mission was to deliver to the Pope Birgitta's Revelation which lamented the decline of the Papacy. This Brigittine Revelation urged the Pope to reform his own lasciviousness, to cease supporting the King of France, and to return the Papal See to Rome. In Birgitta's Revelation Christ spoke directly to Clement: It will not remain a secret how at your time greed and ambition flourished in the Church, and how many things you could have reformed and improved, but you, lover of the flesh, balked.

Go to the Ukrainian Language, Culture and Travel Page TRADITIONAL UKRAINIAN DRESS Folk costume is a basic element of a country's culture and craft, closely tied with its whole history. Vasyl Boiko, a fellow at the Institute of Art, Folklore and Ethnography of the Academy of Arts and Science of Ukraine, writes that folk costume "distinguishes itself through its originality and the wealth of regional variations... The Ukrainian costume is a genuine encyclopedia of the people's creativity. In it are synthesized the folk arts of weaving, style, sewing, adornment (embroidery, applique, trimming, etc.)." Traditional dress in Ukraine shows a high degree of sophistication, elegance, and artistry. For centuries scholars of ethnography (descriptive anthropology) and folklore have collected and studied Ukrainian folk costumes. Art historians have paid much attention to the highly artistic embroidery that is a fundamental element of folk costume. History The earliest-known dress worn in the territory of Ukraine dates back to the Scythian and Sarmatian tribes. Men wore cloth or fur trousers, jackets, pointed caps, and boots. Women wore wide shirts that dropped to the knees, a coat with armhole slits, and a cap like a man's hat but covered with a wrap. Embroidery was a Scythian art as far back as the 5th century BCE , according to archaeological finds.

The phenomenon of "communal apartments" disappeared as residents began buying and selling their rooms and apartments at will. New apartment buildings with more and more modern innovations began appearing first in Kyiv, then in other large cities. Today the ritziest apartments in "elite" housing in Kyiv can sell for as much as $500,000, while two-room "Khruschevka" apartments go for $15,000 to $30,000 depending on the location and condition of the apartments. In the past couple years the wealthy have begun to show more and more interest in having their own individual homes (as opposed to apartments) on the edge of town, creating what may be the beginnings of suburban Ukraine. Ukraine's most famous natural resources are its chernozem soil and coal mines in the east (which are known Europe-wide for their frequent accidents and explosions that often cost over a hundred lives each year). Ukraine is known for its metallurgy, also centered in the east, and engineering and scientific capabilities.

Check out "Ukraine (Culture Shock)" below. Ukraine (Culture Shock) Format: Paperback Author: Meredith Dalton ReleaseDate: September, 2001 Publisher: Graphic Arts Center Publishing Co. Rating: Honest, in-depth, and genuinely appreciative of Ukraine CULTURE SHOCK: UKRAINE ranks as one of the best installments of the Culture Shock series. Straightforward and very thorough, it gave this American reader a helpful introduction to Ukrainian culture. Written by an American, Meredith Dalton, who lived in Kyiv for some time, the book tells expatriates what they need to know for a smooth transition to living and working in Ukraine. Ukraine is a very different country from the U.S., and things that Westerners would see as corruption and inefficiency are normal matters there. Dalton is very frank about how to deal with Ukrainian bureaucracy, how to maintain patience, and how to refrain from comparing everything to life back home. While she emphasizes to the reader that Ukraine may be a difficult and sometimes infuriating country for outsiders, she is always respectful of the Ukrainian culture and way of life. This is one of the few books in the Culture Shock series that are so admirably dedicated to preventing culture shock. Meredith Dalton also tackles the delicate issue of ethnicity in Ukraine, and explains how, for some people, the country is polarised into a Ukrainian-speaking half and a Russian-speaking half. However, she also shows how the country is in most respects a united culture in spite of language differences.

ZBORIV: THORNY ROAD TO FREEDOM By Serhiy MAKHUN, The Day TITLE PAGE OF COSSACK REGISTER WITH BOHDAN KHMELNYTSKY'S COAT OF ARMS On August 1649, 350 years ago, in the very heat of the Ukrainian Cossack Revolution headed by Bohdan Khmelnytsky, the Peace of Zboriv was signed between the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and Ukraine, its hitherto rebellious downtrodden province. In this treaty, Ukraine was presented de facto as an equal party in international negotiations for the first time in three centuries. A whole series of the uprisings by the Ukrainian Cossacks and peasants at the turn of the seventeenth century ended in defeat. The rebellious province obtained its chance to win freedom in the late 1640s. The Ukrainians, who felt like second-class people in their own land, looked forward to their first opportunity to overthrow the yoke of Polish magnates, gentry, and omnipotent functionaries. Any Ukrainian felt himself downtrodden, be it a registered Cossack subordinated to Polish overlords and obeying orders from Warsaw or an unregistered Cossack and was obliged to work, together with serfs for his landlord, also usually a Pole. The Ukrainian nobility was largely Polonized and had adopted Roman or Uniate Catholicism. The Orthodox faith was often an additional reason for arbitrary rule by of the occupiers. The last decade before the 1648 uprising was rather quiet in Ukraine. Incapacitated by the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648), Europe lost any interest in its eastern frontiers; the Polish magnates and nobility kept King Wladyslaw IV from any attempts to intervene in the war, for they were satisfied that Poland managed to hold the northern borders in the fight with the Swedish King Gustav Adolph (the latter turned his eyes toward Germany), while Moscow was disgraced in the Smolensk War. Nor was Poland interested in worsening its relations with the powerful Ottoman Empire.

TOPICS Online Magazine View the ... Home Page Globalization and Ukrainian Culture Yuliya Melnyk from Ukraine Professor, Linguistics Kirovohrad State Pedagogical University School of Ukrainian and Russian Languages It is necessary to say that the word globalization is not so well-known in Ukraine as in Western countries. It goes without saying that Ukrainians feel the huge influence of the process, but do not know the word. The majority of the students needed general information about x globalization to be clarified. They were also advised on the structure of the essay (introduction, body of three parts, conclusion). However, they did not always follow the advised structure exactly. In Slavic writing traditions formal structure seems to be the same at the first glance, but there are a lot of details that are different. For example, Ukrainian or Russian essays often begin from the details which are not closely connected with the theme. Besides that, at the university we do not pay much attention on writing, only in high school, and the experience of students in writing often depends on a certain school. In this way, the students needed pre-writing discussion and explanations of the teacher. The writing was begun in class in order to give the teacher an opportunity to look through the beginning of work during the class. At the next class the first draft was revised; each student received different advice

Influence of Hollywood Movies Globalization ... ome Page American Movies Influence Ukrainian Culture Tamila S. from Ukraine Ukraine was a so-called closed country until Perestroyka. American movies started to influence Ukrainian culture at that time. Ukrainian youth was affected by the way the Americans portrayed in those movies dressed, talked, and behaved. It was diffficult for poor Ukrainian movie studios to compete with the rich Hollywood ones, so our movie theaters were swamped with Hollywood films. After "Perestroyka, each individual was allowed to travel anywhere; but even today, most Ukrainians still cannot afford to travel overseas. As a result, most Ukrainian youth get their image of Americans through the Hollywood movies which continue to dominate the Ukrainian screens. When I visited the capital of Ukraine two years ago, I was concerned with what I saw. Many young people (especially poor, uneducated young people from small villages) looked like bad copies of young Americans. Unfortunately, those youngsters had not chosen to follow the best American examples. I hope this situation will change in the near future. I hope that the new government will find ways to curb the bad influence of these movies on local youth. I wish the Ukrainian government would import only the best Hollywood movies.

CANADA COURIER by Christopher Guly Ukraine's culture minister comes calling On Canada Day, July 1, Dmytro Ostapenko played tourist in Ottawa with his fellow culture ministers from 20 countries at the invitation of their Canadian counterpart, Heritage Minister Sheila Copps. Mr. Ostapenko, Ukraine's minister of culture and arts since 1995 and former director-general of the Kyiv Philharmonic Orchestra, now would like Canadians to play tourist in his country. There's much to choose from: operas, ballets and philharmonic orchestras in Kyiv, Lviv, Odesa and Kharkiv. So, it's not so much a case of building the attractions with the result that the people will come; Ukraine needs to promote the attractions it already has. "It requires an exposé that this exists and for the Canadian public to get interested," said Oksana Bashuk Hepburn, who in May was elected president of the Ottawa branch of the Ukrainian Canadian Congress. "What we're interested in is getting the word out that Ukraine is a thriving country. Its arts are thriving and it has a lot to offer a tourist, especially someone seeking a new cultural geographic venue." And, Ukraine's tourism potential extends beyond its arts scene, said Ms. Bashuk Hepburn, who owns a bilateral business development company called U-CAN: Ukraine Canada Relations Inc.
