RE: Ukraine's economy: It is really that bad?
I would be really curious to hear about your conversations with people. I'm a sociologist... All I do is talk to people. Your argument that Ukraine's economy is fine would be much more convincing if you included some stories about people you talked to and what their lives are like. Simply having pretty buildings does not mean that everything is perfect...
I spoke with locals and they complaint. They have very low salaries (and undervalued currency so in USD or EUR terms it is extremely low) and many of them are searching jobs in the EU or Russia. But the country did not look poor at all. It was clean and kind of in tact(horrible roads but the rest was just like in western Europe). I will write about it in my next post...
