The Ukraine was a fascinating place to visit in 2008 and it must have been quite amazing during your time at the US Embassy.
We enjoyed a magnificent viewing of the Battleship Potemkin movie at the Sydney Opera House with music by Shostakovich performed by the Sydney Symphony. So, it was great for us to be there.

I served at the US Embassy in Kiev in 2001-2004 and made a number of trips to Odessa. I found both the people and the city delightful. Because of a bad knee…and being out of shape, I never walked the steps. While I am writing this, I am watching the Battleship Potemkin movie. Thank you for bring back some pleasant memories.
