Most Ukrainians dont have any of the products from the Opishnia school of pottery in their kitchens. This is no surprise. After the Soviet Union collapsed, pottery stopped being mass-produced and turned into a rare craft. We started buying boring Chinese products or expensive, foreign-made kitchenware.

In national schools of art there have always been innovative individuals who have raised the creative bar and expanded stylistic horizons.

A few words about the mechanics of power

Every state is based on a specific type of governance. Its historical forms change, and at a certain point it begins to require broader participation of the population than ever before and two approaches a state-oriented one and civic one are therefore combined. Their balance is not constant-rather, it is modified by political factors, the social structure of the society, its political culture, and international events.

In 1933 Mendel Khataevich, a member of the Politburo of the Communist Party of Ukraine (Bolshevik), declared that a bitter struggle is being waged between the peasants and our government. It is a life-and-death struggle. This year was a decisive test of our strength and endurance. We needed a famine to show them who is boss here. It claimed millions of lives, but the collective farm system has been established, we have won the war.

Whenever I ventured into unfamiliar districts and saw grim buildings surrounded by high walls topped with barbed wire, I always assumed they were penitentiaries. Now I know that they are either prisons or psychiatric hospitals. In Ukraine both these institutions are practically indistinguishable from each other in Ukraine in form and essence. This is the conclusion of a team of psychiatrists and psychotherapists from Poland and Germany, who recently completed a study of the living conditions of residents of psychiatric hospitals in Ukraine. The conditions in these facilities are enough to drive anyone insane.
