The Projection of Talent
Stepping up the search for talented artists to head up the What’s On Master Class, we came across a rather extraordinary band called Antenna. Now, we know what you’re thinking – yet another nameless group out of the myriad of Ukrainian bands out there... But this is where you’d be wrong, and we’re going to tell you why.

A Clothier to the Stars
 I have known this lady for a number of years, but it was only when I started doing a little background on her did I realise just how significant she is in Ukraine’s celebrity circles. She has worked with groups like Okean Elzy, solo acts Sofia Rotaru, Ani Lorak and Andriy Danilko (better known as Serduchka), and even movie directors like Semen Gorov. If I didn’t know better, I’d think she was the girl next door. I do know better, however, and getting Angela Lisitsa down on the sofa, What’s On gets the goods on one of Ukraine’s behind-the-scenes personalities.

On the Other Side of the Camera
 As one of the country’s most expensive photographers, and a favourite of Playboy, there isn’t much Oleksandr Morderer hasn’t seen. As such, it seemed quite natural for us to want to find out more about him. Unfortunately, a few years ago he suffered at the hands of a journalist who published some rather inaccurate information about the man. So while this sought after photographer was slightly reluctant to talk with us, we managed to win him over, and get the goods on his first earnings, who’s after the nudies and why he prefers to be behind the camera, rather than in front of it.

Sleeping on a Budget
 Coming to Kyiv from various ports of call can and does include certain costs. You’ll be happy to know, however, that your sleeping arrangements don’t have to be included in your bigger expenses. The Ukrainian capital has picked up on the influx of tourists over recent years, and offering travellers a more affordable option when it comes to where you lay your head, the hostels of Kyiv are affordable, (mostly) clean, and open for business.
