The Jameson Irish Film Board, Irish Film Institute and International Film Festival “Molodist” are pleased to present the Irish Film Fest 2013, featuring for your viewing enjoyment, the best selection of award winning Irish films. This year’s festival will be dedicated to Saint Patrick’s Day and will start on March 14, with the film “Good Vibrations”, directed by Lisa Barros D’Sa and Glenn Leyburn.

The 2012 year drama “What Richard Did”, follows Richard Karlsen, a golden-boy athlete and undisputed alpha-male of his privileged set of South Dublin teenagers, through the sum-mer between the end of school and the beginning of university. Lenny Abrahamson directed the film, which stars Jack Reynor, Roi-sin Murphy and Sam Keeley.

During the festival, Irish film fans will also get a chance to see the drama directed by Thaddeus O’Sullivan entitled “Stella Days”, in which a small town cinema in rural Ireland becomes the setting for a dramatic strug-gle between faith and passion, Rome and Hollywood and a man and his conscience. “The Pier” a drama written and directed by Gerard Hurley will focus on Jack McCarthy who left Ireland for the US 20 years ago when his business failed and he had to get out in a hurry. Now his father Larry, who says he’s dying, calls him home. Also the festival program features the 2011film “Silence” directed by Pat Collins, while a highlight of the event will be a documentary directed by Seán Ó Cualáin “Men At Lunch”.

Фільм – це хроніка життя Террі Хулі, влас-ника магазину грамплатівок, який відіграв важливу роль у розви-тку панк-рок сцени Белфаста. Драма 2012 року «Що зробив Річард» (What Richard Did) розповідає про пригоди Річарда Карлсена, зо-лотого хлопчика, спортсмена і плей-боя з групи підлітків на півдні Дубліна, влітку після закінчення школи і початком навчання в уні-верситеті.

Любителі ірландського кіно та-кож зможуть побачити драму режисера Таддеуса О’Саллівана „Дні Стелли”(Stella Days), в якій пристрасті розгораються в невеличкому ірландському сільському кінотеатрі між вірою і пристрастю, Римом і Голлівудом, людиною та її совістю. Драма «Пірс» (The Pier), автора сценарію та режисера Жерара Херлі розповідає про Джека Мак-Карті, який виїхав з Ірландії до США 20 років тому, коли його бізнес збанкрутував, і довелось поспішно втікати. Тепер він приїхав до свього батька Ларрі, який говорить, що помирає. Також в програ-мі фестивалю буде показаний фільм «Тиша» (Silence) 2011 року ре-жисера Пета Коллінз. Найцікавішим, мабуть, буде документальний фільм режисера Шона O Куалена „Обідня перерва” (Men At Lunch). Під час спорудження будівлі Дженерал Електрік, центрального елементу Рокфелер-центру в Нью-Йорку восени 1932 року, була зроблена чорно-біла фотографія на 69-му поверсі.

WHISKEY EVENINGIIt was an Irish, American, Scotch whiskey together with one of Ukraine’s

most recognized sommeliers which made the Sunday evening of March 3rd truly special for the guests of the pub “Dublin”.

Ivan Bachurin, Ukraine’s leading sommelier, presented guests of the event with a tasting of the delicacies of whiskey – a very special beverage, which is rarely appreciated from the first drink. However, as Irish folk wis-dom says there is no man who doesn’t like whiskey, it’s just they haven’t found their own beloved brand yet.

During the evening, Ivan Bachurin told guests of the pub a lot of interest-ing facts about whiskey history, distil-lation technology and the savouring culture of the “amber” drink. After tasting the six-featured brands from the total of 140 whiskeys available on the whiskey-menu, guests of the event had the wonderful possibility to evalu-ate and compare unique tastes and rich aromas of different styles of the won-derful beverage. All that was missing at the event was the bagpipe…

As a pleasant surprise for the whis-key connoisseurs came news that such lovely tasting evenings were about to become traditional at the Irish pub, where famous sommeliers will help guests in becoming better acquainted with the various nuances of the exqui-site beverage along with stories con-nected to it.

However, you can see everything in the pictures! We are grateful to all the guests for the pleasant atmosphere and active participation in the event!

ВЕЧІР ВІСКІІрландський, Шотландський, Американський віскі та один із самих

знаних сомельє України перетворили неділю 3 березня для гостей пабу «Дублін» у особливий вечір!

Іван Бачурін – один з найкращих сомелье України, відкривав гостям тонкощі дегустації віскі – напою дуже своєрідного, який рідко кому вдається полюбити з першого разу, але, як каже народне ірландське прислів’я: «Немає людей, які не лю-блять віскі, є люди, котрі ще не зна-йшли свій сорт».

Протягом вечора Іван Бачурін розповів відвідувачам пабу багато цікавого про історію створення, технологію виготовлення та куль-туру споживання «бурштинового напою». Продегустувавши 6 об-раних видів із 140 представлених у віскі - карті закладу, гості вечора отримали прекрасну нагоду оціни-ти та порівняти унікальні смаки та багаті аромати різних стилів цього чудового напою, бракувало лише волинки…

Приємною новиною для поціно-вувачів цього напою є те, що такі дегустаційні вечори стануть доброю традицією Ірландського пабу, а відо-мі сомельє познайомлять вас з різ-номанітними смаками вишуканого напою та історіями, пов’язаними з ним, втім, Ви самі можете все поба-чити на фотографіях…

Дякуємо гостям за особливу ат-мосферу і активну участь!

STAS MIKHAILOV IN LVIVMarch 30, SKA Stadium (39а, Kleparivska St.)

Popular singer and songwriter Stas Mikhailov will hold a concert in Lviv on March 30th 2013. With his name listed at the top of Forbes magazine list of the highest-earning Russian stars in entertainment and sports, and having his name entered an amazing 14.4 million times on the Yandex search engine last year, Stas Mikhailov is for the present day Russia’s most sought after singer. His rates for playing at private parties start at $100,000 – high even by Russian standards. His genre – chanson, features songs about lives that went wrong, bad boys who want to go straight and the love of a good woman. It has little to do with French torch songs, despite the name. But Mikhailov is different from many chanson singers in that he does not sing about jail experiences and seems to be popular mainly among women. Songs about broken hearts, burning candles and the pain of infidelity gather full houses at his concerts and one of his songs has been watched more than 12 million times on YouTube. Mikhailov has received official recognition, being awarded in 2010 with the Hon-ored Artist of Russia title by President Dmitry Medvedev and winning awards as “Artist of the Year” (Radio Chanson), “Golden Gramophone” (Russian Radio) and the “Song of the Year”.Don’t miss your chance to enjoy a chanson by Stas Mikhailov and or-der your tickets now.

СТАС МИХАЙЛОВ У ЛЬВОВІ30 березня, Велотрек СКА (вул. Клепарівська, 39а)

Популярний співак і композитор Стас Михайлов приїде з кон-цертом до Львова 30 березня. У списку журналу “Форбс” він зна-ходиться на першому місці серед найбільш високооплачуваних російський зірок в індустрії розваг і спорту. Минулого року його ім’я вводилось 14,4 млн. разів у пошуковій системі Яндекс. Стас Михайлов сьогодні є найбільш затребуваним співаком в Росії. Його гонорар за виступ на приватній вечірці починається від 100 000 доларів – високо навіть за російськими мірками. Його жанр, так званий шансон, (всі знають, що це таке) – пісні про життя, яке не вдалось, поганих хлопців, які хочуть йти прямо і любов до хо-рошої жінки. Цей “жанр” має дуже мало спільного з французьким шансоном, незважаючи на спільну назву. Але Михайлов відрізня-ється від багатьох виконавців у тому, що не співає про пригоди за ґратами і, мабуть, через це, популярний в основному серед жінок. Пісні про розбиті серця, палаючі свічки і біль зради й розлуки за-вжди збирають повні зали на його концертах, а одну з таких пі-сень переглянули понад 12 мільйонів разів на YouTube. Михайлов отримав звання Заслуженого артиста Росії з рук президента Дми-тра Медведєва у 2010 році а також завойовував нагороди “Артист року” (Радіо Шансон), “Золотий Грамофон” (Російське радіо) і “Піс-ня року”. Не пропустіть нагоду послухати пісні Стаса Михайлова і замовити квитки на концерт прямо зараз.

THIS MONTH

WEEK OF ITALIAN CINEMAMarch 21–April 1, Lviv Art Palace (17, Kopernyka St.)

For the second time in the last three years, Lviv will host the Ital-ian cinema festival. From March 21st to April 1st Lviv cinema fans and guests of the city will be able to enjoy the best picks from modern Italian cinematography. Classic Italian films made in the 70s were quite popular in Ukraine back in the day. The organizers of Italian Cinema Week aim to acquaint Ukrainian audiences with modern Italian cinema – in order to continue the tradition of cul-tural interaction between the two nations.The festival’s program will showcase the romantic comedy “Lezioni di cioccolato 2” – di-rected by Alessio Maria Federici, featuring Isabelle Adriani, Nabiha Akkari, Claudia Alfonso. The guests of the festival will be presented with several motion pictures: “Tutti I santi giorni” (2012), Terrafer-ma (2011), “Lezioni di cioccolato 2” (2011), Reality (2012) and “La Dolce Vita” (1960).The Italian-French dramatic comedy “Reality” by Matteo Garrone tells the story of a charming fishmonger whose unexpected and sudden obsession with being a contestant on a reality show leads him down a rabbit hole of skewed perceptions and paranoia. “Tutti I santi giorni” will illustrate yet another exam-ple of witty Italian humour. This romantic comedy by Paolo Virzì centres on a relationship between a young couple with opposing characters and work schedules. “Terraferma” is an 88 minute drama by Emanuele Crialese, which tells the story of a Sicilian family who deals with the arrival of a group of immigrants to the island they inhabit. The film won the Special Jury Prize, as well as UNICEF and Pasinetti awards at the Venice Film Festival in 2011. As recently as 2012 it also received the Bridging the Borders Award at the Palm Springs International Film Festival. The grand highlight of Italian Cinema Week in Ukraine will be the screening of “La Dolce Vita”, a 1960 comedy-drama film written and directed by the critically acclaimed director Federico Fellini. The film is a story about a pas-sive journalist’s week in Rome, and his search for both happiness and love, which never come. Generally concidered the film that marks the transition between Fellini’s earlier neo-realist films and his later art house films, it is widely considered as one of the great achievements in world cinema. “La Dolce Vita” won the Palme d’Or (Golden Palm) at the 1960 Cannes Film Festival and an Oscar for Best Costume.

ТИЖДЕНЬ ІТАЛІЙСЬКОГО КІНОБерезень 21 – квітень 01, Львівський Палац Мистецтв (вул. Коперника, 17)

Це вже другий фестиваль італійського кіно у Львові за останні три роки. Від 21 березня до 1 квітня львівські любителі кіно й гості міста зможуть насолоджуватися вибраними стрічками сучасного італійського кінематографу. Свого часу класичні італійські фільми 70-х років були вельми популярні в Україні. Організатори тижня італійського кіно, прагнучи познайомити українську аудиторію з сучасним італійським кіно, продовжують традиції культурної співпраці двох країн. У програмі фестивалю буде представлена, зокрема, романтична комедія “Шоколадні уроки 2” («Lezioni ді Cioccolato 2») (режисер Алессіо Марія Федерічі) за участю Ізабель Адріані, Набіхи Аккарі і Клаудії Альфонсо. Гості фестивалю також побачать ще кілька фільмів: “День усіх святих” (Tutti I Santi Giorni) (2012), “Тверда земля” (Terraferma) (2011), “Реаліті-шоу” (Reality) (2012) і “Солодке життя” (La Dolce Vita) (1960 ). Італо-французька драматична комедія “Реаліті-шоу” режисера Маттео Гарроне роз-повідає історію торгівця рибою з Неаполя, якому страшенно за-хотілось взяти участь у реаліті-шоу і що з цього вийшло. Фільм “День усіх святих” - ще один приклад типово італійського гумору. Це романтична комедія Паоло Вірці про стосунки молодої пари, у якої не збігаються характери і робочі графіки. “Тверда земля” - це 88-хвилинна драма режисера Емануеле Кріалезе, в якій роз-повідається про сицилійську сім’ю, яка має справу з прибуттям групи іммігрантів на їх острів. Стрічка здобула спеціальний приз журі, а також нагороди ЮНІСЕФ та приз Пасінетті на Венеційсько-му кінофестивалі 2011 року. Минулого року фільм також отримав Премію Подолання кордонів Міжнародного кінофестивалю в Палм-Спрінгс. Глядачі не зможуть оминути увагою знаменитий фільм Федеріко Фелліні “Солодке життя” 1960 року, який ішов і в нашому прокаті. В ньому розповідається історія журналіста, який вимушено байдикує в Римі, і його прагнення щастя, і любові, які ніколи не здійсняться. Цей фільм розглядається критиками як такий, що знаменує собою перехід від ранніх нео-реалістичних фільмів Фелліні до пізніших його мистецьких стрічок, і вважаєть-ся одним з найбільших досягнень світового кіно. Фільм “Солодке життя” здобув Золоту пальмову гілку на Канському кінофести-валі1960 року і премію “Оскар” за найкращі костюми.

EASTER EGG PYSANKY FESTIVALApril 6–May 5th

Legend has it that there is a huge evil creature chained to a hillside somewhere. Every year, when Easter eggs are made in Ukraine, the numbers of eggs are counted. If only a few eggs are made, the crea-ture’s bonds are loosened, and evil flows through the earth. However, if many eggs are decorated, the creature’s bonds are tightened, and its evil is kept in check. Luckily for the folks in Lviv, participants of the III Festival of Pysanky (decorated eggs) should be making enough beautiful eggs to keep the monster far, far away for at least another year. From April 6–May 5th 2013, Leopolitans and guests of the city will have the chance to see some beautifully adorned eggs and learn about the centuries-old art form at numerous master-classes. The Pysanky decorating process is relatively simple, although keeping a steady hand can be a challenge. Traditionally decorating the eggs by hand are an integral part of the Easter celebration in Ukraine. With the Orthodox Easter taking place on May 5th 2013m Ukrainians all around the country will indulge in decorating eggs together with their families. A highlight of the holiday will be the exhibition of all the pysanky made during the festival, which will turn Lviv into an open air ‘Museum of Easter Eggs’. For more information, please visit http://www.easter.lviv.ua/

СВЯТО ПИСАНКИ6 квітня–5 травня

За стародавньою легендою, десь далеко є величезне чудовись-ко, прикуте до скелі. Якщо в певний весняний день люди роз-малюють багато яєць особливими візерунками, чудовисько не зможе вирватись з неволі. Чим більше яєць буде розмальовано, тим сильніше воно буде скуте і не зможе сіяти зло на Землі. На щастя, у Львові учасники III Фестивалю писанок готові розмалю-вати достатньо яєць, щоб утримати чудовисько, принаймні, ще протя-гом наступного року. Починаючи з 6 квітня і до 5 травня 2013 року львів’яни та гості міста зможуть по-бачити сотні розписаних візерунка-ми й орнаментами яєць і дізнатися більше про багатовікову традицію на численних майстер-класах. Про-цес виготовлення писанки досить простий – найголовніше – мати тверду руку. Розписані вручну традиційними українськими мотивами яйця є невід’ємною частиною святкування Вели-кодня в Україні. Цього року православне свято Пасхи припадає на 5 травня і бага-то українців будуть займа-тися розмальовуванням писанок разом зі своїми родинами. Родзинкою свята має стати ви-ставка всіх писанок, зроблених в ході фестивалю, який перетворить Львів у «Музей писанки» під відкритим небом.

Lviv PERSONALITY

Ukrainian Designerroksolana Bogutska has been creat-

ing fashion collections flavoured with Ukrainian folk style for years.

Among her fans is Ukrainian First Lady Ka-teryna Yushchenko, known for her passion for folk dresses. It was Bogutska who creat-ed a dress that Kateryna Yushchenko wore to the presidential inauguration in 2005. Also among her regular clients are Ukrain-ian pop stars Ruslana and Natalka Karpa. Bogutska combines traditional Ukrain-ian embroidery and beading with modern clothing design. She prefers to work exclu-sively with natural materials, such as silk, wool and cotton. Also, Bogutska is the first Ukrainian designer to begin using fur in her designs.As a graduate of the Lviv College of Applied Arts and Lviv Academy of Applied Arts, Bo-gutska presented her first collection at the Fashion Seasons Ukrainian Ready-to-Wear Week, a predecessor of Ukrainian Fashion Week, 15 years ago. Since then, the Lviv-born designer’s brand has become popular, espe-cially in the west. She has a store in Lviv, lo-cated at the glamorous TM “Opera Passage” in the city centre where one can find exclu-sive and breathtaking outfits. Today Bogutska continues to draw inspira-tion in her native city and she will be pre-senting her latest Autumn-Winter 2013 collection during Lviv Fashion Week at the fashionable Mirotel Resort & Spa (Truskavets) celebrating the 15th anniversary of the suc-cessful fashion brand. Prior presenting the collection, Roksolana Bogutska took time out of her schedule to discuss fashion issues with Lviv Today.

1. When did you make up your mind to be-come a fashion designer? What was the ac-tual start of your career?It was the moment when I presented my first collection and came out onto the catwalk, I decided that I wanted to dedicate myself to being fashion designer.

2. Is there anything taboo in your work?I will never force myself to do anything which I don’t like and is controversial to my style.

3. In what way has being successful fashion designer influenced your lifestyle?I have become more organized, and have started really valuing my time.

4. Please, tell us what is your taste for your outfits and what are your favorite accesso-ries?Well, I prefer my own brand “Roksolana Bo-gutska” and as far as accessories are con-cerned I like belts and rings.

5. This is a traditional question for a fashion designer – is there any recognized fashion designer whom you highly esteem and find inspirational?Yes, I like Jean Paul Gaultier, Gianfranco Fer-ré, and the collections by Etro fashion house.

6. Would you agree that there are differences between the traditions of Ukrainian and for-eign fashion designs?Yes, I agree. Ukrainian designers do every-thing themselves – create ideas, find materi-als, etc. Foreign designers have more possi-bilities to implement any wishes and dreams while creating collections, as they have bet-ter access to more textile, accessories etc.

7. Is there such a term as “Lviv style” or “Lviv fashion”?Yes, I think it exists.

8. What are your creative dreams for the fu-ture?I dream that all my wishes will coincide with possibilities, and I refuse to think about the economical situation in the country, which is influencing my creative career.

9. Are there any plans in the near future to present a collection for men?I thought about it, but I really don’t know yet, I haven’t planned anything.

10. What is your advice on how to avoid be-coming a “fashion victim” with the existing brands, trends and labels?Well, you should find outfits that best suit your lifestyle.

11. What are fashion trends for the upcom-ing summer season?I would say, it is style of the 50’s, 60’s, 70’s, very feminine and colorful, with lots of sun-dresses.


Lviv PERSONALITY

12. What is your message to young design-ers, who will start their career at Lviv Fashion Week?My message is don’t give up!

13. How in your opinion can a designer receive proper recognition? Is it possible that an ab-solutely unknown designer from some coun-try, which does not have a developed fashion industry market, like for example, Ukraine be-comes unexpectedly world famous?Yes, it’s possible, especially if someone will invest lots of money into their career, or for example one can marry a magnate.

14. Roksolana, the premiere of your new col-lection Autumn/Winter 2013 will take place in Can-ada at Vancouver Fashion Week and only afterwards it will be presented in Ukraine, please tell us why you de-cided to present it first on other conti-nent?

I want people on other continent to get acquainted with my creative work and also I wish to go sightseeing in Vancouver.

15. During all 15 years of the existence of the brand “Roksolana Bogutska” was there ever a moment, when you thought of leaving your fashion career and stop being a fashion designer?No, never!!!

Роксолана Богуцька вже багато ро-ків займається створення модних колекцій в українському народно-

му стилі. Серед її шанувальників – перша українська леді – Катерина Ющенко, ві-дома своєю пристрастю до народних су-конь. Це саме Роксолана Богуцька ство-рила сукню, в якій була Катерина Ющенко на президентській інавгурації 2005 року. Також серед її постійних клієнтів безліч українських зірок. Роксолана Богуцька вміло поєднує в сучасному одязі тради-ційну українську вишивку та бісеропле-тіння. Вона воліє працювати виключно з використанням натуральних матеріалів: вовни, шовку, бавовни та шкіри. Крім того, Роксолана першою серед україн-ських дизайнерів почала використовува-ти хутро у своїх проектах.Закінчиши Львівський коледж приклад-ного мистецтва та Львівську академію прикладного мистецтва Роксолана Бо-гуцька представила свою першу колек-цію на Українському Сезоні моди прет-а-порте, попереднику Українського Тижня Моди, 15 років тому. Відтоді, бренд львів´янки Роксолани Богуцької став по-пулярним, особливо на заході. Вона має магазин у Львові, в гламурному “Опера Пасажі” в центрі міста, де можна придба-ти її ексклюзивні вбрання.Сьогодні Роксолана Богуцька продовжує черпати натхнення у своєму рідному міс-ті. Вона буде представляти свою останню осінньо-зимову колекцію на Львівсько-му Тижні Моди в модному Mirotel Resort & Spa (Трускавець) в ході святкування 15-річчя свого бренду. Перед початком Тижня Моди Роксолана Богуцька зна-йшла час у своєму щільному графіку, щоб обговорити питання моди з нашим ко-респондентом.

1. Коли Ви вперше зрозуміли що мрієте стати дизайнером? З чого розпочалась Ваша кар’єра?Коли я вийшла з першою колекцією на по-діум - переконалась, що хочу бути дизай-нером.

2. Чи існують табу у Вашій роботі?Ніколи не буду робити те, що мені не подо-бається, і що не в моєму стилі.

3. Роксолана, як професія дизайнера і успіх в обраній справі змінили Ваше що-денне життя?Я стала більш організованою, почала ціну-вати час.

4. А у що вбирається сама Роксолана Бо-гуцька? Яким маркам віддаєте перевагу? Ваші улюблені аксесуари?

RoksoLana Bogutska


Photos by A. Goncharenko / Models – MA OK’S Model

Вбираюся у „Роксолану Богуцьку”. Мої най-улюбленіші аксесуари це пояси та перстені.

5. Традиційне питання – хто з дизайнерів чи світових брендів Вас надихає, чи є серед них люди, роботою яких Ви захоплюєтеся?Мені подобаються Готьє, Ферре (покій-ний), колекцїї Етро.

6. Чи можна сказати, що в традиціях українського та іноземного дизай-ну є істотні відмінності?Відмінності є. Український дизайнер все створює сам (шукає, придумує, і т.д.). Іноземний – може легше здійсни-ти всі свої мрії, всі бажання, бо доступ-ні тканини, фурнітура тощо.

7. Чи існує поняття «львівська мода» або «львівський стиль»?Так. Iснує.

8. Про що мріє Роксолана Богуцька? А в творчому плані?Я хочу, щоб мої можливості збігалися з моїми бажаннями, і зовсім не хочу ду-мати про економічний стан моєї краї-ни, який впливає на мою творчість.

9. Чи побачимо ми коли-небудь чоло-вічу колекцію від Роксолани Богуцької?Не знаю. Думаю про це, але ще не планувала.

10. Як не розгубитись та зберегти власну індивідуальність та стиль в сьогоденно-му вирі марок, брендів та трендів. (Одним словом, як не стати «жертвою моди»)Треба зрозуміти, що пасує саме до твого стилю життя.

11.Що буде актуальним цього літа?Стиль- 50-их, 60-их, 70-их. Надалі в моді жі-ночність, сукні та сарафани, яскравий колір.

12.Чи є у Вас по-ради для моло-

дих дизайнерів, які тільки починають свою кар’єру на Львівському тижні моди?Не здаватись!

13. Яким чином, на Вашу думку, дизайнер може здобути визнання? Чи можливий роз-виток подій, за яким абсолютно нікому не відомий дизайнер з не дуже розвинутого, в розумінні фешн індустрії, ринку, такого, як наприклад, Україна раптом стає всесвіт-ньо відомим?Може, якщо хтось буде вкладати величезні кошти, інвестиції в його проекти. Або вийти

заміж за “олігарха”.

14. Роксолана, прем’єра Вашої но-вої колекції Осінь/Зима 2013 відбу-деться на Тижні Моди у Ванкувері, і лише після цього її побачать в Укра-їні. Скажіть, що мотивує Вас їхати з показом на інший континент?Показати свою творчість на іншому континенті. І заодно побачити Ванку-вер.

15. Чи за 15 років існування бренду “Роксолана Богуцька” був момент, коли Ви хотіли здатися і покинути дизайн одягу і професію модельєра? Ніколи!!!

Ukrainian Dream OF dA VINCIThe concept appeared in 1488 when

the plague was ravaging Europe, and in Milan, the city where the artist

lived, a third of its population had already died. Observing the sad aftermath of the Black Death, da Vinci came to the conclu-sion that a better-designed city could ward off illness and mortality. Many European cities in da Vinci’s era were densely popu-lated and where the garbage was routinely deposited into narrow and dark streets with no sanitation norms, germs and diseases spread very quickly. Da Vinci thought of a city that would be more spacious and was split into two lev-els: lower level would be used by carts and animals, while upper level, which had wider streets, would be used for foot traffic. Canals were dedicated to commercial purposes, as well as a sewage system. On his style of ur-ban planning, da Vinci simply said “only let that which is good looking be seen on the surface of the city.” Because the ideal city was so grand in scale and required entire cities to be rebuilt, it never came to life the way da Vinci (with his profound knowledge in architecture, engi-neering and invention) envisioned it. How-ever he introduced a concept that became appealing to European urban planners, in-cluding those who inhabited the territory of present-day Ukraine. In the 17th century, two Italian architects and sculptors Paolo de Ducato Klemenci (known by his guild nickname Paul the For-tunate) and Paolo Dominici Romanus ap-plied da Vinci’s ideal city concept to Zhovkva and its existing structures. Both Italians were well-known in the region as Paul the Fortunate built Lviv’s Golden Rose Synagogue (destroyed by the Nazis in 1941), while Paul of Rome, also active in Lviv, erected that city’s Bernadine and Dormition churches, as well as several buildings on the Market Square.The city complex in Zhovkva is unique not only because it is the only well-preserved realization of the ideal city in Ukraine, but is also an extremely rare type of planning among the nearly 200 preserved ideal cities in Europe.The result of their urban planning is a town impressive in both scope and implementa-tion. One half of Zhovkva’s center is lined

with streets covered by Italian arches – no other city in Ukraine has them – while the other half is dominated by Paul of Rome’s St. Lawrence Church, which boasts friezes of military scenes.Other churches and buildings are scattered about, positioned on streets reminiscent of those found in Italy. Holding the complex to-gether is the massive Zhovkva Castle, which has words in Latin inscribed beneath the roof on its backside. Zhovkva was first inhabited in the 14th cen-tury and in 1594, the Polish military com-mander Stanislaw Zolkiewski, who gave the city its name, fortified the settlement and built the Zhovkva castle. The town did not, however, reach its peak until the latter half of the 17th century, after King Jan III Sobieski made Zhovkva his royal residence.As leader of the Polish-Lithuanian Common-wealth for 22 years, Sobieski brought about much-need-ed stability after a turbulent period of war, which included the 1648 Bohdan K h m e l n i t s k y - l e d Cossack uprising.Along with the two Paolos, some of the region’s finest architects worked in Zhovkva, unfor-tunately many of which remain un-known to modern scholars even today.

Today, Zhovkva has 51 architec-tural monuments, 49 of which have national signifi-cance. In 2001, the Ukrainian govern-ment supported a local initiative to preserve and re-store Zhovkva. The 20-year program not only envisions restoration work, but renewing de-stroyed architec-

ture, as well as conducting historic and academic studies.As a result, buildings in the center are slowly being renovated. Zhovkva’s castle, which needs some $8 million in refurbishments, has been saved from ruination. Eventually, it will house a stage for open-air concerts in its impressive courtyard, a museum, a confer-ence centre and a small hotel. Zhovkva has received money for restora-tion as part of those allocated for the EURO 2012 championship preparation, however for the present year the current govern-ment has cut restoration funding com-pletely. Still Zhovkva’s officials are dedi-cated to restoring the city to its previous grandeur so that visitors and residents can continue enjoying Ukraine’s one example of da Vinci’s ideal city.

With its spacious central square, streets decorated with Italian arches, sizeable churches and a dominant palaz-zo, the little town of Zhovkva – with 13,000 inhabitants – is as close as one will get in Ukraine to seeing what da Vinci dreamed of as his “ideal city.”

Renaissance aRchitectuRal MasteRpieces OF LVIV

For centuries Lviv was a significant stop-ping point on the main trade routes be-tween the east and the west – and the

city’s prime location helped pay for its striking-ly beautiful architecture. You had to be rich and famous to trade here, every merchant passing through was forced to stay and sell their goods for at least two weeks and sometimes even longer and they had to be able to afford Italy’s finest architects to put their wealth on display.Incidentally, it was the Italians who laid out the first ever park in Lviv – the oldest park in Ukraine, created in the second half of the XVI century – the Jesuit Park, now called Ivan Franko Park. Four hundred years ago, munici-pal fields stretched across this area, some time later, this land fell into private hands. At the end of the XVI century, a wealthy Lviv citizen called Jan Scholz–Wolfowich, spent 1,600 gold pieces to lay out plans for the park. Sometime later, he gave his daughter’s hand in marriage to Antonio Massari, the Italian Consul of the Venetian Republic in Lviv, and the ownership of the park was transferred to his son-in-law. Massari re-arranged the park according to the popular Italian style. In 1855, the park was re-turned to the city, and thus became one of the oldest municipal parks in Eastern Europe.Italians should also be given credit for setting up the postal service as well as for the build-ing of the first post office, which appeared on March 4, 1629. Polish King Sigismund III, hon-oured Lviv citizen of Italian origin, Roberto Bandinelli with the title “The Royal Postmaster” and the right to deliver mail. Every Saturday, Leopolitans could send and receive letters from all over Europe and couriers transported mes-sages by relay, ensuring the privacy of their messages. However postal services were very expensive in those days, as paper was very thick and heavy, so much so that a correspondence weighing only 6 grams and destined for Gda-nsk, was equal to the daily salary of a qualified craftsman. Today a post office museum func-tions inside the Palazzo Bandinelli building.

THE FIRST ITALIAN ARCHITECTSON THE SITEWhen part of Lviv was destroyed in the Great Fire of 1527 a number of Italian architects were invited to help rebuild the city and they left

their Italian imprint on Lviv. The stabile eco-nomic situation of the city made it possible to implement massive reconstruction accord-ing to contemporary fashion and following the influence of Renaissance traditions. These architectural traditions were brought to Lviv by people from northern Italy and southern Switzerland, particularly from the regions of Como and Lugano. The first known master mentioned in town record books was in 1563, and was Petrus Murator Italus de Luugnon. His most important building project in Lviv was the Dormition Church that had to be built anew after the old edifice was destroyed by the fire of 1527. The church was finished and consecrated in 1559, however the building was destroyed by another fire in 1571. Among other works attributed to Petrus Italus were the porches of several private homes.The 1560s brought further records mention-ing new Italian masters in Lviv, Gabryel Quad-ro Italus magister murator (1561), brothers Angiolo and Gallacius designated as Itali de Bruzin (the latter died in 1560), Franciscus Ro-land de Brusimpiano, Peregrinus Bononicus and Christophus Bozzano from Ferrara.Not all these names have any immediate connection to the existing Renaissance monuments, but they do give an idea about the origin of these Renaissance masters, who came from Lombardy, Ferrara, Bologna, and stayed in town for a while.In 1572 a guild of builders and stonemasons was formed and its statute was confirmed by the town council. Among members of the guild were also Italian masters Petrus Casmur Italus, Rochus Safranyecz Italus, Franciscus Crotophila and Petrus Crassowski Italus Mu-rator Szwanczar, a master who arrived from Ticino and received local citizenship in 1567.The latter was a very successful architect of private buildings: his ‘Black House’ at 4 Rynok Square is a spectacular example of local Renais-sance architecture. In 1577 the master signed an agreement with the owner, Sophia Hannel and was commissioned to decorate the façade and the attic with columns and carved stones. Today it is the most richly and beautifully deco-rated Renaissance monument – with a façade completely covered with limestone ‘diamond’ rustication. The stone darkened in the nine-

teenth century and the mansion received its name ‘The Black House’. In 1595, this house was bought by another Italian who had settled in Lviv – Thomaso Alberti.

GLORIOUS HERITAGE OF PAULO ROMANO AND PETER BARBONThe winged lion of St. Mark holding a book with the date ‘1600’ with the coat of arms of Venice on it, can be seen on the building at 14 Rynok Square, which used to belong to the Veneration Consul Antonio Massari, is another piece of the palpable and visible Italian pres-ence in Lviv. The house of Antonio Massari was the work of another Italian architect, Pau-lus Romanus Murator Italus or Paulo Romano, who received local citizenship in 1585. He and his older colleague Peter Barbon (Petrus Bar-bon Italus murator or Petrus di Barbona) were the most prominent artists of Italian origin working in Lviv. On some projects Peter Bar-bon worked together with Paulo Romano. It was Peter Barbon who built the new bell-tow-er for the Orthodox Church of the Virgin Mary commissioned by Konstantyn Korniakt, a rich Greek merchant who had settled in the town (for this reason it was often called Korniakt’s tower). Korniakt also commissioned Peter Bar-bon to build his own home at 6 Rynok Square (today it’s part of the Lviv Historical museum). The edifice is located on two standard plots and therefore it is twice the size of a regular house on Rynok Square, making Korniakt’s palace one of the largest and most magnifi-cent buildings in the town.Nowadays, the building showcases features from the XVI–XIX centuries. The first recon-struction occurred in 1640, when the build-ing was bought by King Jan III Sobieski: an attic with figures of knights and a portal with columns were added, while the balcony was added in the nineteenth century. The inner yard, surrounded with a three-storey Renais-sance gallery was restored during the 1930s and named ‘The Italian Courtyard’. In order to achieve an effect of lightness and grace, the columns of each storey were of different orders: the Tuscan order on the ground floor, Doric on the first and Ionic on the second. This widely applied principle of Renaissance architects can often be observed in the Ro-

A medieval chronicler once called Lviv ‘a city at the crossroads of a hundred languages’, which to a large extent was true. Almost from its foundation, many languages could be heard within the walls of Lviv, as traders and travelers came to the city from many parts of Europe and Asia.


man Coliseum. Today the ‘Italian Courtyard’ is reported as being one of the most popular haunts for both locals and visitors.Among the greatest works of Paulo Romano are the Orthodox Church of the Virgin Mary (the Dormition Church) and the Church of St. Andrew of the Bernardine Friary. One more monument created by Paulo Romano is the Chapel of the Campiani family, local burgh-ers of Italian origin. The chapel was founded in the late XVI century by the head of the family, who arrived in Lviv holding a doctor-ate from an Italian university.Paolo Romano was invited to work outside Lviv as well, for example in Jesupol, where he built the Church of the Dominican Friary in 1598.After the death of Peter Barbon (d.1588) and Paolo Romano (d.1618) the brilliant epoch of Lviv Renaissance architecture was practically over and there were no equally talented Ital-ian architects, despite the fact that many other masters continued their work in Lviv.

ITALIAN RENAISSANCE TRIUMPH IN LVIVWith numerous private buildings constructed during the second half of the XVI – early XVII century, when virtually all of Rynok Square, was rebuilt in the Renaissance style, Lviv adopted the new style on a mass scale. A house in the town provided merchants with a wonderful opportunity for self-representa-tion and a demonstration of their social and financial status, while Italian masters had the possibility to present one’s identity in a new style. The magnificence of portals that were often built into quite modest buildings seems to be a wide-used means to compensate for a lack of space and monumentality, and to satis-fy the aspirations for self-representation. Even Renaissance churches and belfries expressed the same spirit of competition as each of the four main religious groups of Lviv craved to decorate their religious monuments with Re-naissance elements, or to restyle and rebuild them in the prestigious style. Although Ital-ian architects working in Lviv were numer-ous, unfortunately even the most gifted and successful such as Paolo Romano or Peter Barbon, did not establish a local tradition or a school. For almost a century Italian architects settled in Lviv, but none of their sons or pupils produced anything truly significant. In the beginning of the XVII century, Lviv guild masters were replaced by architects of German and Dutch origin, who were in-vited by Polish magnates to build Baroque edifices in the town. The ‘golden age’ of Re-naissance culture in Lviv faded in the 1620s, when the magnates replaced burghers as artistic patrons in Lviv and architects serving the magnates and not masters of the town guilds played primary roles in architecture. The beginning of the 17th century marked the domination of Baroque shapes in Lviv ar-chitecture. However the glorious years of the Italian period in Lviv are not forgotten and in some parts of town, Italian tourists feel them-selves quite at home, surrounded by familiar buildings and a lovely atmosphere.

Under what conditions the reassessment of the tax liabilities by the tax authori-ties may lead to criminal charges of tax evasion?in order to violate ukrainian criminal prohibitions against tax evasion, a tax payer must (i) have an unpaid tax liability exceeding the specified threshold (starting from UAH 554.000,00 in 2013), (ii) perform an act aiming at evading or attempting to evade tax assessment or payment and (iii) intend to violate a known tax obligation. negligence cannot result in liability for tax evasion but can give rise to criminal liability for damages caused by negli-gence.Who are the targeted persons of the criminal charges of tax evasion?In Ukraine, legal entities are not subject to criminal liability, unlike the individuals. It is primarily the managing director(s) and the chief accountant of a company who are under the threat. they are responsible for the accountancy and report-ing, as well as for the tax assessment and payment to the budget. However, in order to be prosecuted, such persons must have been working at the company at the period, in which the presumed tax evasion took place. it should be kept in mind that sanctions for a breach of tax rules can normally be applied within 1095 days (i.e. 3 years) after the deadline for a tax return submission.What are the standard situations indicating the potential intention of tax evasion?the circumstances indicating the intention aimed at tax eva-sion include the following (non-exhaustive list): failure to file tax reports or distortions in accounting or reporting records, keeping dual accounting, use of bank accounts not disclosed to the tax authorities, overstated costs, violation of the cash registration procedure, application for tax refund without documentary confirmation.Does a pending appeal against the reassessment prevent from facing criminal charges?Although some tax payers might be tempted to think that fil-ing an appeal against a tax assessment will give them a break from potential criminal charges until the end of the appeal procedure (that is, by the appeal court judgment or often until the cassation court judgment), the reality looks sometimes different. In fact, any time the above mentioned threshold is exceeded, the case is automatically being investigated by the tax police. What’s more, after the entry into force of the new Code of Criminal Procedure in November 2012, the tax payer cannot challenge and halt the initiation of the criminal pro-ceedings. criminal charges may be brought by the tax police irrespective of the pending appeal procedure.What is the best defense strategy in case of criminal charges?The new Code of Criminal Procedure significantly extended the rights of the accused and defendants. For instance, a defendant has now a right to obtain an independent forensic analysis of evidence. a defendant has also a right of tempo-rary access to the documents or objects in possession of third parties, including the right to review and copy the docu-ments. the new code made the role of attorneys-at-law more prominent, requiring that representation of a defendant in a criminal case can be undertaken only by a licensed attorney. it is essential that an attorney is involved into the process at the earliest stage as possible in order to be able to secure a coherent and consistent strategy throughout the whole crimi-nal proceedings.
