Quote:One year after the Ukraine's "Revolution of Dignity", my town in Western Ukraine is going to become a ghost town. The inhabitants disappear every day. However, there is no mystery. People just immigrate legally and illegally.
Men are fleeing mobilization. Women are running away from the terrible economic disaster searching for any job abroad. Some of them are trying to learn foreign languages.
Last year we opened the language school. We got a huge success using the advertising "English in 10 days". Now such advertising does not attract many students. Today our people are looking for language courses where they could learn English in 3 days and Polish language in 3 hours.
We can change our advertising but our potential students expect from us teaching them English in 3 days during their trip to Kiev to the US or Canadian embassies. Now we have no experience to organize the school on the train.
In couple of last months, we have lost the stable middle class in our Ukrainian society. The Average Salary in Ukraine is 50 US dollars a month. The average pension in Ukraine is $ 30.
Young people are not happy about their future life in such country. Majority of them plan to move to the western countries. However, western countries cannot receive couple of millions of emigrants and refuges from Ukraine in the nearest future.
Foreign politicians want to help Ukrainian government and give the weapons to Ukraine to fight against separatists in the South-East of Ukraine. It is good idea but there is one question: to whom the arm will go?
Men are fleeing mobilization. Women are immigrating. May be babushkas can use the modern weapons? I am not sure about this because our grandmothers are very busy babysitters. They have to care about children instead of their mother and fathers immigrants.
Every foreign expert suggests starting reforms and sends to our government many good recipes. However, no one of them do not suggest reforming the Law on Partial Mobilization. This old soviet legislation destroy every attempt to protect the country.
Meanwhile our language school is preparing for new marketing campaign. We will promise to teach English in 3 hours. It takes exactly 3 hours for people of my town to get to the EU border.

"There are three sorts of conspiracy: by the people who complain, by the people who write, by the people who take action. There is nothing to fear from the first group, the two others are more dangerous; but the police have to be part of all three,"
