1. I subscribe to this periodical, which means paying money, so I read daily issues carefully as soon as I receive them. Seriously, this is a source of truly intellectual analysis of what is happening in Ukraine politically. Personally, I belong to the most exacting and critical part of the readership. In this sense I find Iryna Pohorelova’s and Tetiana Korobova’s features most principled and impartial, compared to any other Ukrainian periodical. Of course, no periodical can be totally unbiased or unaffiliated. Not in Ukraine where almost every political or economic feature betrays the presence of some rude force ordering the music. In this sense, The Day is a lucky exception, in that is aimed at the intellectual reader — I mean not only from the standpoint of academic background. It prompts one to join in a dialogue; its articles help one assess the current situation, approaching it at different angles, and arrive at one’s own conclusions. In a word, The Day is a periodical meant for the thinking, critically minded reading public.
Also, I like the individual approach adopted by the Editors in presenting their articles. I closely follow certain authors and columns like Yuri Andrukhovych, Mykola Riabchuk, and I like The Day’s cultural topics.
