: Dear Olaf,
: I salute your desire to live in Ukraine! It a great country with great people (in it's majority)! Yes, it is tough place to live and economy is down BIG TIME. But one of the bigest reasons for that depression is that too many Ukrainians could not care less for their own country. Too many of them do not take responsability for their own future. All they want is an 'easy ride' to prosperity via immigration to a 'better' country. NO! There is no such a thing as 'better' country! There are places where people strive for better future. And if you are a looser in Ukraine, you may as well be a looser anywhere else.
: Do not pay attention to any of negative follow-ups to your post. Ukraine is a wonderful place. And more then ever it needs people who believe in better future for it.

Does anyone knows about some peoples who are living there? Is it difficult to get the visa for a longer time? Please answer me, we need your help. Thank you
Hello Dmitri, I just read your post and actually I want to agree with you but not absolutely. You are right that most ukrainians don't feel responsible for thier future, but this is the result of 75 years of communism which killed soul of ukr.people. And you missed one thing - government, it is impossible to live in the country the government of which is doing its best to kill the nation, there is no future in Ukraine ,so don't try to convince someone that ukraine is great place to live. I am from Ukraine and I know how it looks to live there. And by the way are you ukrainian?
Irena.
