"It's really a shame that there is no avantgarde Ukrainian culture anymore in Toronto, like the AvantGarde Ukrainian Theater, their magazine Terminus and theband 'Vapniak Pid Holym Nebom' (Stalagmite Under A.Naked Sky). Culture has become very traditional and conservative,"Mr. Morozov said."We have the same types of entertainment in Lviv, on radio,television and stage," the entertainer continued. "One wantssomething modem. I understand why this is — they want toremember Ukraine like as it was. It is a shame that there reallyisn't much new being created."Ukrainian National AssociationMonthly reports for AugustDISBURSEMENTS FOR AUGUST, 1993JUV.

"They are struggling to overcomethe residuals of communism and are, atthe same time, trying to create a freemarket economy."In 1971,1 was in East Pakistan, шBangladesh, when it was becoming asovereign country," explained the formerdiplomat. "But they had the advantage ofhaving a provincial-government whichfollowed the British parliamentary system."The lack of a central bank and suchbasic amenities as city telephone directorieshaven't made life easier for Canadianorganizers in Ukraine."I heard someonedescribe it as a 'solid base in a fluid sea,'" Ms. Biggs told the conference."For this program to be truly effectiveand involve its Ukrainian partners," saidMr. Baran, "we have to realisticallyallow for it to develop over a 10-yearperiod." Project funding ends in threeyears.And while students will be taught tohone their analytical and problem-solvingskills at the institute, Mr. Baranhopes they won't jump for highersalaries in the private sector.MPA graduates must commit threeyears to working for the Ukrainian governmentdepartment that nominatedthem.Organizers hope to graduate 500students by project's end.In January, an IPALG satellite campusis scheduled to open in Dnipropetrovsk,in heavrly industrialized eastern Ukraine.Hospital partnerships...(Continued from page 2)have what is now in Ethiopia." HealthMinister Yuriy Spizhenko expressed thesame sentiment during a November 11speech in Parliament, "Today doctors facea dilemma: whether to cure the sick or tofeed them."In Dr. Didychenko's analysis, theUnited States currentiy faces the problemof how to maintain its high level of spendingon health care, currently 12 percent ofthe gross national product. Ukraine'sproblem is how to increase spending inthe field. A 1992 law mandates 10 percentof Ukraine's gross national product bespent on health care, but the true figureisonly 3.5 percent, which does not accountfor the battering inflation has inflicted onthe Ukrainian karbovanets.Under the АША program, Philadei^health personnel have visited \ .Didychenko's hospital three times, and hehas made two AIHA-connected trips to theUnited States. During a trip to observeAmerican health management, theUkrainian doctor visited hospitals inChicago, Detroit, Washington, Philadelphiaand New York. The trip, he says, was "useful"and he became acquainted with "muchnew material."However, there is a great differencein circumstances between him and hisAmerican counterparts, he adds. Hismonthly salary, the highest at the hospital,totals 260,000 karbovantsi (about$10 at the current Kyyiv street marketrate). He said it is "very hard" for himto feed his family of five. Fortunately,the family is blessed with a garden thatprovides beets, cabbage, and potatoesfor the dinner table. Dr. Didychenkoadded.
