Leonid Kravchuk,
first popularly elected President of Ukraine
My greetings to the editorial staff and all the readers of The Day, which has become part of independent Ukraine's political and spiritual culture. This paper enjoys genuine respect and is read with interest. As far as I am concerned, I myself subscribe to The Day. I would like to wish the paper to continue its analytical approach. Sensationalism excites the reader's curiosity, but above all people appreciate analysis and solidity. The Day already has this, although there is always room for improvement. I would like to see this approach continue and expand, and the paper's circulation and the number of readers increase so that there is more respect for you and the kind of journalism you promote. Whenever I read the Ukrainian version of The Day, I truly admire the refined and colorful language, which pleases me greatly. The design of the paper is quite good as well. In a word, it is an up-to-date, interesting, and promising publication.
Serhiy Teriokhin,
People's Deputy of Ukraine
Very few representatives of the Ukrainian print media have gained so much popularity so quickly. In the Verkhovna Rada Hall of Deputies, you can see three newspapers, and The Day is always one of them. This is indicative of the professional and objective approach that the paper takes. Incidentally, I was surprised to hear that The Day, too, is disliked by the authorities, and that it lost to Yevhen Kushnariov in his recent lawsuit against the paper. In our country, with its somewhat interesting freedom of speech standards, this is a clear indicator of the newspaper's impartiality and professionalism. May we celebrate the 52-nd anniversary of The Day in fifty years! All the best!
Heorhy Kriuchkov,
Chairman of National Security and Defense Committee of Verkhovna Rada
I have great respect for your newspaper, and I read every article every day. To date, it is one but a few reputable and solid papers in Ukraine. It attracts the reader with its analytical approach, timeliness, and ability to stay above the fray. I personally enjoy your analytical articles on politics and the economy. The Day provides objective and in-depth coverage of current economic problems. I would like to wish this paper that it continues to grow and become Ukraine's finest newspaper.
Bohdan Stupka,
People's Artist of Ukraine
Two years is, of course, a short time. But since nowadays it is so difficult for a paper with such a distinct stance, restiveness, and dignity to survive, one year should count as five. So consider it your tenth anniversary. Keep up the paper's intelligent, fair, and intellectual image!

Because in a way I am a conservative person, I prefer respectable periodicals. I like newspapers classical in format, sensible in tone, and strict and elegant in design, for example, Le Figaro and The New York Times. In my view, The Day is currently the only paper in Ukraine that fits this model. It is a reputable newspaper — in-depth, analytical, and judicious in its assessments and opinions. The Day proves that a newspaper can be popular without being sensationalistic and hysterical, as well as without demonstrating its political, clan, or party tendentiousness, which, by the way, also distinguishes The Day from the overwhelming majority of Ukrainian periodicals. I do not know how your journalists manage to do it, but The Day, while clearly formulating its civic position, always aspires to objective coverage of a situation without engaging in juggling or loosely interpreting the facts. As a reader, I find it very appealing. I can wish The Day only one thing: keep up the good work! Stay faithful to your principles and bring out the best in yourself.
