Music has been always one of the most meaningful symbols of Ukraine. Today I’d like to tell about a phenomenon in Ukrainian culture which is called kobzardom. Such phenomenon was born in the 16th century and was spreading quickly in the rural areas. Its representatives were called kobzars, which directly corresponds to a folk musical instrument – kobza. These people were basically street musicians. An essential requirement to become a kobzar was to be blind, therefore, every kobzar had a guide boy to help. Their repertoire included dumy(a special kind of Ukrainian folk songs), prayers, historical songs, etc. The significance of kobzardom for Ukraine can be compared with significance of ancient poets in Greece. The thing why these street musicians played such a vital role is because they were the keepers of spiritual heritage of Ukrainian nation, despite a struggle against Ukrainian nationalism 1930s. They were spreading historical wealth verbally, and this is one of the reasons why Ukrainian language is still alive.

A couple of years ago I visited the French Riviera. I can certainly say that this trip was one of the best in my life. The thing that impressed me the most was a relaxed and unhurried lifestyle of the locals. You are unlikely to see people rushing in the streets. On the contrary, the French in the South tend to wake up around midday and go to nearest bakery to grab a croissant and some coffee. While staying there, I just realized that I had adopted these habits. Everything there is so conducive to a leisurely and measured pastime! If you are looking for a place to clear your mind, I definitely recommend spending your vacation there. Once again, as an experienced traveler I can call the South of France an ideal place to have a rest and enjoy yourself.

As today Ukraine celebrates Orthodox Easter, I want to share the story about how christianity appeared on this territory. Volodymyr the Grate was the Prince of Kievian Rus’ whose fate was to christen this land. But here is the question: what was the problem of paganism? During centuries the ancestors of modern Ukrainians were worshiping gods of sun, wind and etc. However, in the 10th century the indicator of a developed country was the existence of religion its’ land, and as Volodymyr’s desire was to have good external relations with other countries, he decided to take an example of the Byzantine Empire. He was baptized in Korsun and then baptized the Rus’ people in Pochaiana river. What’s interesting is that ordinary people didn’t take this procedure of christianization seriously, so they kept praying to gods of nature with crosses on their necks for a while. One more interesting fact! Before Volodymyr came to the realization that he would need to baptize the Rus’, he had been famous for his exceptional peccability. It is believed that he had over 800 concubines and didn’t disdain wine. That’s why he is still called “the holiest sinner”.

A couple of historical facts about Ukraine. 1. During the reign of Yaroslav the Wise Kyiv was named the second Constantinople in terms of cultural richness. His daughters married European kings, the youngest Anna married King Henry l and brought books and cutlery to France in order to spread culture and basic ethics. 2. Ukrainians have always valued independence. Therefore, at the beginning of 16th century, when the Polish landlords started enslaving local people those who had a seditious character ran away to the Wild Fields. Soon these rebellions became known as Cossacks(our famous warriors). They were building fortified fortresses, training for fights, making sea trips, and defending Ukrainian folks from invaders.

I believe that the major responsibility is on a client. It goes without saying that a person should always be careful when it comes to sharing personal data(especially credit card details). However, such social groups as the elderly and children are usually unaware of the basic safety rules, which makes them a perfect target for scammers. I suggest spreading more information about online security and devoting more time to explain your relatives about its’ importance.
