KYIV POST 25TH ANNIVERSARY SERIES — FROM THE ARCHIVES
Flashback: June 5, 2009
This edition of the Kyiv Post packed a punch, including stories and opinions about the unholy proposed alliance between Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko and her supposedly bitter rival Viktor Yanukovych. Nothing came of their merger talks and Tymoshenko wound up in prison after Yanukovych got elected president in 2010. Other articles detail the swimming risks in Kyiv waters (massive), how to bicycle in the bike-unfriendly capital, the dangers of alcoholism along with summer graduation parties full of alcohol.
