anchor.diff:  ### Music & art
   
   When I was younger we had a handful of the good/famous Ukrainian music bands. To become successful, they needed some money/connections in order to appear on popular radio stations and TV-channel rotations. Now we live in the Internet age. In order to deliver your art (music, movies etc) you don't need money or connections. All you need to do is your work of art and Internet. If you are a music band you can release your music independently on the Soundcloud. You can keep in touch with fans on Twitter, you can organize events on Facebook. This is completely new thing that is happening globally and also in Ukraine.
  -Basically, there is a general trend right now which I would call "without their permission" (see Alexis Ohanian's book[http://withouttheirpermission.com/]).

   You don't need to ask anyone for "permission" if you want to start a company, political party or music band. 
   All you need to focus on is your idea and execution. 
   And if you are able to create something worthy people would pay attention to it. In a way "without their permission" phrase can be applied to the whole country. Ukraine used to be for quite a few centuries Russian colony. As a colony, we were looking towards Moscow and "asking permission" what to do, what to think. We don't need to do it anymore. We can define our country, our ideals, our goals and directions ourselves.

  In the 90s, most of the population in Ukraine became suddenly extremely poor after collapse of Soviet Union. Early days of capitalism in my country were pretty wild. Some people became rich quickly. Most people who achieved high status and "success" were not good people. The majority earned their money doing some illegal things. Most of our rich people also became corrupt politicians, they don't have proper education and more importantly good moral values by any means. What even worth that several generations didn't have good roles models. "Bad guys" had better chances on success, that created negative dynamics in the society and probably some hopelessness.
  In the last 10 years however in Ukraine we started to have some tiny layer of middle-class people that were able to earn enough money for the comfortable living. It's extremely important to have these people. Because the truth is after some income level more money doesn't bring you more happiness. See WSJ article[http://blogs.wsj.com/wealth/2010/09/07/the-perfect-salary-for-happiness-75000-a-year/] which says:
  
  > It turns out there is a specific dollar number, or income plateau, after which more money has no measurable effect on day-to-day contentment.
  
  
negative.code: ### Conclusion
  
  You can be pessimistic or optimistic about Ukrainian future. It's really hard to predict what would happen next. 
  There is great potential and a lot of opportunities, some are described in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jdSQuanI8Z8[Ukraine is open for U video].
  But I think that reforms from our government are not as important as two things I talked about above. 
  There is a big demand among progressive young people for living (and building) modern Western state. 
  There are artists that can show to the rest of us what we want and need and there is middle-class
