Ukraine and the Green Stuff...

Right now, I am riding in a car coming from the city of Slavutich.
Slavutich is the youngest city in Ukraine. The city was built in 1986
after the Chernobyl disaster. Survivors of Chernobyl were moved to
this city and, now, the city developing at a faster pace than any
comparable municipality in Ukraine. And no, there weren't any green
lakes or glowing animals. Everything I saw and everyone I met looked
fine.

My visit was work related. The median age in Slavutich is 37. Besides
it being the youngest city in Ukraine, it is also has the youngest
population. Therefore, the youth and newness to it has energized its
population to reach for its potential. The average income in the city
is double the national average, their communal services were reformed,
they have a business center and incubator, and their economy is
strong. Not bad for a city in Ukraine of 25,000 people.

The city has such an unique history that I hope what I learned today
from my meetings will be useful at my site.
