The Cross

By: Baziv, Vasyl

When an ambitious young Communist, Pasha Kharkavyj decides to scale the local church and tear the cross from the roof in a sleepy Ukrainian village he thinks he will make it all the way to the Kremlin . However a tank of sunflower oil left in the wagon he drove to the church explodes leaving dozens of Red Army soldiers dead and Pasha with some explaining to do. Meanwhile his nemesis, Andrij, a youth who combines a flair for football with devout Christianity is wooing Svitlana, the daughter of the local KGB chief who happens to be Pasha’s rival and mentor. This is Romeo and Juliet under the shadow of the hammer and sickle and the onion domes of Eastern Christianity. The outrage perpetrated on the church calls forth a popular uprising. The USSR with Krushchev at its Head wages war against one Ukrainian village, as Moscow throws an entire army into the fray against these new Knights Templar.

Business & Marketing Across Cultures

By: Julie Anne Lee,Jean-Claude Usunier,Vasyl Taras

In an increasingly interconnected and global business environment, it is crucial that businesses recognise how a better understanding of cultural differences can help to foster greater business success. This book will help you to develop essential cross-cultural insights for when business and marketing goes global through a range of frameworks and learning features. The authors explore the roles of culture, communication, language, interactions, decision-making, market entry and business planning when working across geographical regions. They recognise the rich diversity in international markets and local consumer knowledge and marketing practices. Readers are encouraged to engage in cultural self-reflection to help better design and implement business strategies in local markets. Throughout, the book links to the x-culture learning project, which is an experiential multicultural exercise and form of student assessment where collaborative virtual teams are formed and together solve real world international business problems. This is an essential textbook for university and college students of international and cross-cultural marketing as well as international and intercultural business. It will also be of interest to business and marketing practitioners working in global contexts. Julie Anne Lee is a Winthrop Professor in Marketing and the Director of Research and Research Training in the Business School at The University of Western Australia. Jean-Claude Usunier is an Emeritus Professor from the Faculty of Business and Economics at the University of Lausanne, Switzerland. Vasyl Taras is a Professor in the Bryan School of Business and Economics, University of North Carolina at Greensboro, USA.

“Nine circles of hell”: Places of Detention in Ukraine under the Russian Occupation, March 2022 – December 2022

By: Vadym Chovgan ,Mykhailo Romanov,Vasyl Melnychuk

In the year since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022, a constant flow of images and accounts has painted a horrifying picture of the human rights violations and international crimes that appear to be strategies of Russia’s war. At the same time, relatively little information has emerged from those areas of Ukraine in which Russia has situated itself as an occupying power. This report fills this gap by presenting the findings of the monitoring and documentation of human rights and other violations of international law committed in places of detention in the non-government-controlled areas of Ukraine (the NGCA1 ) between March and December 2022. The report covers a wide range of places of detention, notably penitentiary institutions (correctional colonies2 and pre-trial detention centers), police establishments and social and healthcare institutions. In addition, it covers unofficial places of detention such as makeshift torture chambers. Within these places of detention, the report documents numerous violations of international human rights and humanitarian law, including torture and other inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment, wilful killings and military strikes. Building on 725 documented episodes, the report outlines key patterns and trends. This report is based on information and evidence of violations of international law gathered from 121 interviews with victims and witnesses who experienced Russian custody (conducted by us (64) and third parties (57)) as well as open-source intelligence. The collected data had been subject to verification and corroboration, so as to ensure its veracity. Only findings that meet the ‘reasonable grounds to believe’ standard have been included in the present report. The findings presented in this report have been produced collaboratively by DIGNITY: Danish Institute against Torture (DIGNITY), European Prison Litigation Network (EPLN), Kharkiv Human Rights Protection Group (KHPG), Ukraine without Torture (UwT), and Protection of Prisoners of Ukraine (PPU

Precursor

A Novel about Ukrainian Philosopher Hryhoriy Skovoroda

By: Vasyl Shevchuk

A philosopher obstinately searching for truth in the 1700s, badgered by the church for speaking out on human rights and the hypocrisy of the ruling elite, Skovoroda was forced to live an unsettled life. Hryhoriy Skovoroda (1722–1794), dubbed a “wandering” philosopher, was one of the most colourful figures in 18th century Ukraine. He spent most of his life travelling about the country and spoke out in defence of justice and freedom for the common folk, often to his own detriment. His songs became folk songs, and his parables helped drive philosophical thought in many Slavic countries. Precursor is a panoramic, factually accurate novel, painting a realistic picture of life in the Russian Empire. It is an illustration of the epitaph on Skovoroda’s gravestone: “The world pursued me, but failed to catch me.”

Armageddon at Maidan

Armageddon at Maidan

By: Vasyl Baziv

A novel-requiem based on real stories, heroes and monsters. This is the first fictional verbal portrayal of the galactic-scale events in Maidan, in the heart of Kyiv, Ukraine that have left their mark on world history. From this apocalyptic perspective, angels and demons in human flesh operate on the 21st century stage of Maidan, a sacral place of the Earth. The protagonist of the novel, Yarko, feels that he can no longer stay at home, as he watches the capital of his country being absorbed by the revolution on TV. He takes a leave of absence at the institute where he works as a researcher, and leaves his family, rushing at dawn to catch a train to Kyiv. Meanwhile, on the opposite end of the country, in Donetsk, a gang, which includes the current president of Ukraine, gathers for a meeting. In Maidan, Yarko serves as one of the architects of a set of barricades because the chances of the Republic of Liberty being attacked grow daily. Despite a severe frost, he lives in a tent, like tens of thousands of rebels. Before the climax of this conflict, a Heavenly Hundred of peaceful, unarmed protesters will have given their lives for the Revolution and thousands of others would suffer in their defense of freedom and the independence of Ukraine. The citizens of the Free World will feel as if they are at the brink of a bloody Armageddon when they hold this requiem book in their hands.

Nonlinear Reaction-Diffusion Systems

Conditional Symmetry, Exact Solutions and their Applications in Biology

By: Roman Cherniha,Vasyl' Davydovych

This book presents several fundamental results in solving nonlinear reaction-diffusion equations and systems using symmetry-based methods. Reaction-diffusion systems are fundamental modeling tools for mathematical biology with applications to ecology, population dynamics, pattern formation, morphogenesis, enzymatic reactions and chemotaxis. The book discusses the properties of nonlinear reaction-diffusion systems, which are relevant for biological applications, from the symmetry point of view, providing rigorous definitions and constructive algorithms to search for conditional symmetry (a nontrivial generalization of the well-known Lie symmetry) of nonlinear reaction-diffusion systems. In order to present applications to population dynamics, it focuses mainly on two- and three-component diffusive Lotka-Volterra systems. While it is primarily a valuable guide for researchers working with reaction-diffusion systems and those developing the theoretical aspects of conditional symmetry conception, parts of the book can also be used in master’s level mathematical biology courses.
