Our questions were:The last year saw many events both in Ukraine and in the world. Which ones do you believe more significant? As is known, the year 2003 was The Year of Russia in Ukraine. Simultaneously, the two countries’ relations reminded one of the fall weather: it was sunny or cloudy in turns. Recall signing the SES treaty or Tuzla conflict. In what way did all this change your attitude toward Russia? Everyone has moments in his or her life, which he or she wants to remember forever, and others, which he (she) would like to forget. How would you evaluate this year in terms of your personal life? Did you have any cherished dreams and did they come true? What hopes do you pin to the coming year and what surprises do you expect from it? What celebrities would you like to see next to you at the New Year’s party to offer them your greetings in person? Please give us a brief information about yourself: what your professional training is, where you work or study, how old you are (optional), how long have you read The Day?
