I visited the opening day of the 15th International TV and Radio Fair (also known as /Teleradioyarmarok/). It's run by Vasyl Yatsura and his team. I saw lots of old friends who were at their (sometimes quite large) tradeshow booths, where they were representing their various media businesses. It was all quite a change from 1991. As one person said today, it was quite a nest we made back then, and now the work of those few has spread.
As is often the case in Ukraine, I'm torn: while I'm thrilled to see how much the businesses developed (and how many survived), despite all sorts of toubles, I also wonder how much more their could be if the economic and political environment were different. Regardless, things are much more open now than 20 years ago. I'm here for example, with both my parents and my two kids. I wasn't able to get here when I was their age.
Details about the event are here.
