This New Year and Christmas many houses will play “Carol of the Bells”, a famous Ukrainian composition, not knowing of a beatiful origin of the music from land of Ukraine.

The song was popularized abroad by Ukrainian Republican Capella, organized by Ukrainian People’s Republic in 1919.

UA gov. needs to be more often reminded that it failed to comply with Social Charter (Ukraine ratified it in 2006) standards and pursued laws that directly contradict it, and making a severe regress not motivated by the Russia's military agression, but by elitist policies.

Historically, what surprises me, is that while now we have huge conflicts with Hungarian government, during the revolution (1918) HUN was supportive of UA self-determination on prev. HUN lands. We knew Hungary as the most brutal state, but Republican revolutionaries healed that wound.
