Dear passengers, welcome aboard!

Ukraine has been attracting travellers since ancient timesdue to its transit potential and key geographical location:the famous trade route linking the Vikings to the Greekspassed through the territory of present-day Ukraine, for example. Established in 1992 to connect Ukraine and Western Europe, UIA had to bide its time before it could use these geographical advantages to full potential.Then, in early 2011, UIA began transforming into a network air carrier and launched a number of new flights to the East. However, there was still no balance between the volumes of transport between western and eastern destinations. Now, the situation in Ukraine’s air travel market has changed drastically and UIA is able to provide flights on new routes and balance the network. This year, UIA has already launched new flights from Kiev to Baku, Yerevan, and St Petersburg, as well as increased the number of existing flights to Moscow, Tbilisi and Tel Aviv. This summer, UIA plans to schedule brand new flights to Athens, Larnaca, Istanbul, Prague, Warsaw, Vilnius, Kalin-ingrad, Novosibirsk, Nizhnevartovsk, Yekaterinburg, Rostov-on-Don, Sochi, Batumi, Bishkek, Tashkent and Samarkand. We will also start operating new direct flights from Ukraine’s regional centres – Donetsk, Dnepropetrovsk, and Odessa – to Tel Aviv, Yerevan, and Baku. UIA’s rapid expansion into new markets allows us to build a more effective model of a network air carrier connecting east with west and north with south. The flight timetable for passengers travelling internationally was carefully com-piled to ensure the best possible connections with only 1.5-2 hour stays in the terminal. By expanding its route network, UIA will also greatly improve the transport hub capacity of our base airport, Boryspil. For many airlines, direct flights between Europe and Mid-dle Asia or the Middle East are defined as long-range, which means higher charges and passengers tariffs. UIA, however, connects the same points via medium-range flights, which are much cheaper for passengers.However, we aren’t hurrying passengers who wish to lin-ger a little longer in Ukraine. Entry to our country is visa free for hundreds of millions of citizens across 62 countries around the world, meaning almost anyone can discover our centuries-old history, ancient monuments, unique natural reserves in Crimea or the Carpathians, and experi-ence traditional Ukrainian hospitality. To learn about our new travel possibilities and prices, check out our flight schedule and routes, visit our website, www.flyUIA.com and follow all the news in Panorama in-flight magazine.

Thank you for choosing UIA. Enjoy your flight!

From a bird’s-eye view, the islands on which St Petersburg is situated look like fingerprints. Their unique pattern was created by a network of canals drafted about 300 years ago. You can say that these “fingers” belong to Peter the Great, as it was his wish that the capital of Tsarist Russia rise over these wetlands By Natalia Maiboroda

Petrograd SideIn 1703, a new geographical name appeared on the map of the Russian Empire. The Valley of River Neva was retaken from Sweden during the Great Northern War, and this “trophy” had to be protected against possible attempts to seize it back. By order of Peter the Great, the first stone of the city was laid on Zayachy Island, which

quickly grew into the Petrograd fortress. Some 15,000 soldiers built this crown-shaped gran-ite complex, called to work by the signal of a gun – it still fires every day at 12:00 sharp. The booming sound is the perfect alarm clock for those who like a long sleep-in.The looming eight-metre grey walls protect the second-tallest building of the city – the Peter and Paul Cathedral. A guardian angel stands on its 122.5 metre golden spires, watching over the city. Perhaps, it was the angel that once helped a hare that, accord-ing to legend, escaped a flood by jumping into Peter the Great’s boot. Today, the comic hare sculpture that “sits” at the column near Ioannovsky Bridge is one of the city’s cutest monuments. Make a wish and throw a coin at the monument – it is believed that if the coin falls on its pedestal and remains there, your wish will come true.Petrograd Fortress is a favourite recreation space for tourists and residents of St Peters-burg alike. Everyone swims there in the sum-mer, sunbathes in the fall by leaning against hot walls, and regardless of the season, enjoys walks around the miniscule island. The views from this vantage point are extraordinary: on the opposite shore of the spit of Vasilevsky Island is the luxurious Winter Palace, St Isaac’s

t Petersburg might not have existed if the emperor hadn’t had the bold idea to build a city on the banks of the Neva – to create a river city much like the Dutch capital. While Peter sought to create a

second Amsterdam, he didn’t fully succeed. Nor did the city become the Russian Venice. However, St Petersburg did turn out to be a unique city, unlike any other.

TOP 5 BRIDGESANICHKOV BRIDGEOne of the most famous bridges on Nevsky Prospect, it intersects with Fontanka.

It bears the name of Colonel Mikhail Anichkov, who at the time of Anna Ioannovna

commanded a battalion. The bridge was built in 1785 and became famous thanks to

Pyotr Klodt’s sculptures that depict the four stages of taming the horse. PALACE BRIDGEThe bridge connects the central part of St Petersburg, near the Winter Palace, with

Vasilievsky Island. A photo of the drawbridge’s “spread wings” with Peter and Paul

Fortress on the background during the white nights should be in every tourist's

album. BANK BRIDGEThis bridge on the Griboedov Canal is famous for its black griffins with golden wings

that hold the construction in their teeth. Legend has it the sculptures bring good luck.

BLUE BRIDGEThis is St Petersburg’s widest bridge, connecting Kazansky and Admiralty Islands.

Despite its impressive size (97.3 m), it is called “invisible” because it looks more like a

continuation of the square than a bridge. The name comes from the colour in which

the original design was painted. LION BRIDGEThis sophisticated bridge connects Kazansky Island with Spassky on the Griboedov

Canal. It’s framed with four iron sculptures of lions, which give their name to the structure.

frequent here to avoid being disturbed. The island’s spit is a place where you always meet newlyweds on a good day. Sweethearts believe in the legend, which says marriages that take place here are the happiest.Vasilevsky Island also has a peculiar attraction, thanks again to Peter the Great who established the first museum, which contains some surprising and shocking exhibits. In addition to a collection of rare coins and household items, there is the famous Kunstkammer housing a notorious collection of curiosities and won-ders. The emperor bought the collection for the price of two ships, which was exorbitant in those days. Near the museum is one of the most famed St Peters-burg embankments, the University Embankment

decorated with 3,500-year old Ancient Egyptian sphinxes. These ancient monuments were found during excavations in the 1820s and purchased by Rus-sia and installed here in 1832. Many legends have swirled round the mystical sculptures since. Legends also stalk the nearby Poehl Museum. In 1820, a pharmacy operated here and was famous for selling “Poehl spermine” – a kind of proto-type of our modern Viagra. However, the same pharmacist was labelled an alchemist and rumour had it that he bred griffons in the courtyard tower. Mystics believe that the white

Cathedral spire, and the photogenic Troitsky Bridge built by the com-pany of Gustave Eiffel. While on a stroll through the island’s narrow streets, be sure to look for buildings designed in the so-called Petersburg Nouveau style.Another compelling reason to visit Petro-grad Island is the cruiser “Aurora” anchored at its shore. This ship sur-vived the three Russian revolutions that rocked St Petersburg in the beginning of the 20th century, as well as wars before and after. The cruiser became famous on 25 October 1917, when it received an order to storm the Winter Palace. Now a floating museum, you can chart the illustrious history of the ship on board. “Vaska” – the Centre of AttentionIt took Peter the Great some time to decide where the city centre should be, and finally in 1714, he chose the largest of the islands – Vasilevsky, referred to affectionately as “Vaska”. Due to strong winds and devastating floods, nobody wanted to live there at first so the emperor ordered the forcible resettlement of merchants. In a public relations masterstroke, he then ordered his trustee, Count Menshikov, to move to the island, automatically raising its status. Then in 1716, he created a master plan of the island decorating it with a mesh of canals, with wider ones placed along major avenues, and smaller ones running along narrower streets. Unfortunately, the idea wasn’t a success, and the majority of the canals were later covered. Only those in Bolshoy, Sredny and Maly Avenues and dozens of smaller streets remain.

Vasilevsky Island has a special romantic reputation. Every summer night, when bridges are drawn, it literally becomes unreachable. Perhaps that’s why lovers

18 / PANORAMA Y 3 / 2013

numbers painted on the 11-metre chimney of Poehl’s laboratory contain nothing less than the encrypted code of the universe, promising immortality to anyone who deciphers it. Russia’s Window to the WestSt Petersburg has held the title of Russia’s cultural capital throughout the centuries, and no city looks set to contend this title. Every downtown structure is a work of art created by an army of architects, artists and sculptors from across Europe. This is especially evident at the Winter Palace, the home of one of the world’s most famous museums – the Hermitage. The look of the building has changed as many as five times. It was first erected in the early 18th century for Peter the Great, and was where the emperor married Katerina Alekseevna, while the last version of the palace was built in 1754, designed by Italian architect Bartolomeo Rastrelli. The building served as the winter residence of Russian emperors up to 1904. It was Catherine II who transformed the palace into what would become the world-renowned art gallery.The city’s main square – Dvortsovaya, lies next to the palace. Covered in construction debris from the palace, it was founded in 1762 when Peter III had a great idea – he allowed locals to have the remaining building materials. Suddenly, there were so many volunteers that the space adjacent to the palace was cleared overnight. The 47-metre Aleksandrovskaya Column stands in the middle of Dvortsovaya Square, and com-memorates Emperor Alexander I’s defeat of Napoleon. This granite monolith was installed in 1834, without any safety or supports – sparking rumours it was destined to the same fate as the Leaning Tower of Pisa.

TOP 5 PALACESTHE WINTER PALACEPalace Square 2www.hermitagemuseum.orgThe former imperial palace now houses one of the most expensive art collections in the world. Seeing all of Hermitage in one day is simply impossible, so concentrate at least on such masterpieces as Madonna Litta by Leonardo da Vinci, Madonna Conestabile by Raphael, Danae by Rembrandt and Lady in the Garden by Claude Monet. GREAT PETERHOF PALACESt Petersburg, Peterhof, Rozvodnaya Street 2www.peterhofmuseum.ru The park complex with its rustic imperial residence is Peter’s challenge to the French Versailles. Enjoy the amazing fountains and look into the reconstructed palace, which was first erected in Peter’s time and later improved by Rastrelli in 1717-1725. CATHERINE PALACESt Petersburg, Town of Pushkin, Sadovaya Street 7www.tzar.ru Built in 1756, the palace became famous for its luxurious interiors and unique Amber Room, which vanished during World War II. The room was reproduced for the 300th anniversary of St Petersburg and is now open to visitors. MIKHAILOVSKY PALACEInzhenernaya Street 4www.rusmuseum.ruToday, Mikhailovsky Palace, built in 1819-1825 by architect Charles Rossi, houses the Russian State Museum. The institution boasts one of the world’s largest collections of paintings by Russian artists. MENSHIKOVSKY PALACEUniversity Embankment 15www.museum.ru/M178This luxurious Palace on Vasilievsky Island was built in the early 18th century. It was the city’s first stone palace built for Peter’s trustee, Aleksandr Danilovich Menshikov. The palace often hosted the city’s main social events and parties. Expositions on the history and culture of Peter’s time will tell you more.

Despite the talk, the column still stands on its original spot, withstand-ing all urban assaults, such as the loud and regular concerts on the square, with unfaltering dignity. A local sax player who performs almost every weekend is a true celebrity around these parts. This musician, who hides his face behind a music score, is a must-see (and hear) for city visitors.Dvortsovaya Square is the starting point of the city’s main street – Nevsky Prospect. In the summer, it’s filled with people day and night. The tourists enjoy the “belye nochi” or white nights and wait to see the drawbridges lift. Hip youngsters hang out in Gos-tinny Dvor, where cult clubs such as Dacha, Fidel, Belgrad and Baikonur are located. Another thing worth mentioning is that some of the city’s bookstores are full of visitors even at 3am. It’s little wonder St Petersburg is known as Russia’s cultural capital!

The New Holland

New Holland is the only artificial island among St Petersburg’s 42 isles. It was created by two canals – Kryukoviy and Admiralteyskiy – built for shipbuilding purposes between the rivers Neva and Moyka, thus creating a triangle-shaped island that soon became the city’s industrial centre, and later Russia’s first military port. This small, 6 hectare island is home to a distinguished 18th century architectural ensemble known as New Holland, complete with a landmark 23-metre arch. In Soviet times, the island was a restricted station-ing area for military units. World War II, with its con-tinuous artillery strikes, dealt out some devastating damage. The island was abandoned for some time afterwards, left in ruins. The locals, though, saw this place as one of the city’s landmarks – which is why talks of reconstructing the industrial complex drew criticism. Regardless of the negative sentiment, in 2010, a company belonging to Russian tycoon Roman Abramovich won the right to rebuild the area, and starting from 2011, New Holland was re-opened for the first time in 300 years.It didn’t take long for the renovated island to become popular among youth, with developers already plan-ning to transform this area into a fashionable space with a contemporary art centre and recreation zones. Come see the re-creation of New Holland, or join the citizens protecting their city’s wealth of architecture from being destroyed by reconstruction.

DIPPE INTO SPRING Frankfurt; 30 March – 22 Aprilwww.frankfurt-tourismus.deTo welcome in the spring, join some 500,000 visitors on Frankfurt’s Spring Dippemess, one of Germany’s oldest and largest open-air fairs. It used to be a medieval market for pottery, especially for ceramic bowls and pots, which are called “Dippes” in the Frankfurt dialect. Today, you can still browse for handcrafted pottery, admire spectacular firework displays, ride on one of the numerous carousels and, in an experience not to be missed, sample regional delicacies. Frankfurt takes special pride in its apple wine, served in rustic earthenware jugs. It is also available at local supermarkets and as a homemade variety, served at hundreds of traditional apple wine pubs. Just make sure you don’t drink too much before you get on one of the rides!

CHALLENGE ACCEPTEDEurope (various cities); 7 April – 12 May In spring, Europe plays host to several dozen marathons that attract

thousands of pro and amateur runners, as well as their supporters from all over the world. The personal challenge of a race over

a distance of 42.195 km combines with visits to cities across Europe, as athletes hit the streets and squares of Barcelona (17 March), Paris (7 April), Zurich (7 April), Vienna (14 April), London (21 April), Kiev (28 April) and Prague (11-12 May). Most events also offer shorter distances, such as 10 km, 5 km and 2 km for children. A host of activities are held in addition to the main race. In London, for

instance, anyone interested in fitness is welcome to the Marathon Exhibition, held from 17-20 April in ExCeL exhibition hall. One of its

main attractions is its pasta party giving participants the energy to perform at their best, or cheer on friends and family.

PANORAMA Y 3 / 2013 / 27

Sexy songstress Pink confesses that wherever she goes she brings chaos: “I do enjoy being in the centre of attention. Wherever I am, boredom has no chance!” Marriage and motherhood haven’t changed the rebellious singer much. She’s just a tamer version of that pop bad girl we fell in love with in the early 2000’s, there’s just a little less of her trademark “snarl”. In April, Pink embarks on a world tour to plug her new album, The Truth About Love, so let’s get this party started!

By Natalia Rudnichenko

THE TRUTH ABOUT

P!NK

he is the pop phenomenon known simply as Pink. With sales of more than 40 million albums and 70 million singles globally, her career accolades include three Grammys, two Brit Awards and five

MTV Video Music Awards, in addition to having eighteen Top 20 Hits on the Billboard charts and three #1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100. Born Alecia Beth Moore on the outskirts of Philadelphia on 8 September 1979, her mother, a nurse, and her father, a Vietnam vet, split when she was 10. It was an event that had a profound effect on her and would influence her music. In Family Portrait, Pink famously sang about this life-changing moment. “I was a daddy’s girl and I was devastated when he left because my mom and I never really got along,” the singer now recalls. From early childhood, Alecia was quite the rebel, school was a chore for her, so she paid more attention to dancing and gymnastics. The lat-ter was something that came naturally; she was very competitive and dreamt of becoming an Olympic gymnast, however her rebellious spirit put paid to those dreams and she was kicked out of the sport at 12 for her “non team-like attitude”. Regardless, her eight years of training turned out to be useful, and the singer often incorporates trapeze acts into her live performances. As for her non team-like atti-tude, time has shown this was a girl determined to forge her own path in life, on her own terms. Shattered IllusionsIt wasn’t an easy path in the beginning, however. A trou-bled teen, Alecia began baring her soul in highly confes-sional lyrics and performing in Philadelphia clubs using her

stage name, which she styled as “P!nk”. At 13, she became part of amateur rap group Schools of Thought, and after that failed, joined another group, Basic Instinct. Later, as part of R’n’B girl group Choice, she caught the eye and ear of famous record producer LA Reid, who contracted the then 16-year old and her group to a record deal. The trio was not a success, but it was clear there was one standout voice. During a Christmas party, Reid gave Pink an ultimatum: go solo or go home. Choice disbanded in 1998 prompting a musical crisis of faith for the still teen-aged artist. For a moment, Pink doubted she had chosen the right path in life. Later, the singer would be quoted

in an interview as saying: “All my illusions about the world of music and my place in it were totally

destroyed. When I was a child, I thought that a singer only has to stand on stage and

sing. It turned out that you need much more than that.”

Wanna Be on Top?Pink suddenly realised vocals were but a small part of the overall package a performer needed to be successful. However, when that “package” became

too “cookie-cutter” pop star, her rebel-lious streak would again come to the fore.

Following the break-up of Choice, Pink had taken the reins of her solo career and signed

a deal with LaFace Records. In 2000, the singer debuted with R’n’B single There U Go from her first

solo album, Can’t Take Me Home, which became a tremen-dous commercial success and was soon accredited with platinum status. Next year, Pink earned her first #1 hit and won her first Grammy alongside Christina Aguilera, Lil’ Kim and M\a for their collaboration on Lady Marmalade, a sin-gle for the Moulin Rouge! movie soundtrack. In 2002, the singer released her second studio album M!ssundaztood – eager to be seen as a more serious song-writer and musician, the album was a calculated move designed to shake up her image away from simply being another pop princess.

PANORAMA Y 3 / 2013 / 29

With hit singles like Don’t Let Me Get Me, Just Like a Pill and Family Portrait, the album consolidated Pink’s success making her a global superstar. With her raspy, distinctive voice, Pink drastically changed the sound of pop music and influenced many of today’s modern female artists, including Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, and Rihanna. She’s been credited as inspiring Adele to become a per-former, after the then-teenage British multi-Grammy winner caught Pink in concert in London.

The Taming of the ShrewIn the early stages of her career, the pink-haired performer was labelled the anti-Britney, rebellion being her stock-in-trade. Pink went through several highly publicised spats, including one with Prince William. He wanted Pink to per-form at his birthday party, but the singer refused saying she “was disgusted at his pro-hunting stance”.It should come as no surprise that Pink’s private life was once rocky and her marriage to motocross racer Carey Hart came close to hitting the skids. The pair met in 2001 at an extreme sports event he was competing in. The singer was thrilled: “He fell 40ft and broke 14 bones the day I met him. I thought he was dead.” In 2005, during one of Hart’s races, Pink proposed to him, holding up a sign, “Will you marry me?” The couple married later that year in Costa Rica, but in 2008 trouble hit their union and the pair split for 11 months before ripping up the divorce papers.The ups and downs of their relationship provided material for many of Pink’s songs. Hart has appeared in several videos of the singer, including So What, after which they reconciled, and the recently released Just Give Me a Reason from her latest album. Today, two large diamonds shine on Pink’s ring finger. Apart from that, she and Hart have matching True Love tattoos. “Regardless of whatever happens,” she con-fesses, “he’ll always be my love.”

A Bundle of Joy A huge part of Pink’s happiness and appar-ent mellowing comes from the birth of her daughter, Willow, in June 2011. The singer says being a mother is the best thing she’s ever done. “Willow is heavenly. She’s changed the way I look at life,” Pink said at a press conference in London last Sep-tember. “She’s funny and fiery, with Carey’s looks and my atti-tude. It’s been amaz-ing watching my man stumble awkwardly into love with his baby daughter.”

Willow guest stars on two The Truth About Love tracks: “She plays bells on How Come You’re Not Here, and she plays bass on a song called Timebomb. She’s better on bass than I am!” Pink laughs. Motherhood also led to a mellowing of Pink’s relationship with her own mother, with whom she had a difficult con-nection since her parents split: “We have the coolest rela-tionship. I call her almost every day. We just needed some years and age and wisdom.”

Her TruthCandid, quirky, clever and comfortable, the singer now knows her strengths and weaknesses, and channels them all into her highly emotional songs and impressive live shows. The European leg of The Truth About Love Tour promises to be as entertaining as ever, with hits such as Blow Me (One Last Kiss) and Try bringing audiences to their feet. Tickets are sure to sell fast!

Cyprus has a heady mix of qualities that make it the envy of many other holiday hotspots. Instead of being on the Mediterranean, it is encircled by its waters, and rather than hav-ing a summer “season”, in Cyprus, summer lasts pretty much year-round. At certain times you can take to the surf and hit the snow within the space of a day. It is a friendly and welcoming place, and now, it’s easily accessible through UIA

32 / PANORAMA Y 3 / 2013

rying to establish why Cyprus is such a popular holiday destination, or indeed holiday home destination, is not as simple as it sounds. It appears easy; it’s the weather, right? Actually it’s

much more than that. Yes, it’s the weather, but it’s also the people, the history, the culture, the food… it is the laid back way of life, the contrast between the cities and the villages, the distinction between the sea and the mountains. So read on, hopefully in this feature, Panorama will entice you with information about a few of the many plusses the island has and persuade you to visit. After that, you’ll return. Everyone does.

Important FactsLet’s start with that weather; statistically speaking, Cyprus enjoys 326 days of sunshine per year. That leaves less than a month-and-a-half – per year – without the sun’s rays. And, to be honest, the winters are pretty mild as well. So, as Ukraine and other parts of Eastern Europe slog through the freezing depths of winter, in Cyprus, by February, the days are pleasant enough for a t-shirt and the waters are swimmable (albeit for the brave). By Easter the climate has reached the point other Mediterranean destinations might enjoy in July, and while the peak of summer can get a lit-tle too hot for some, if you are a sun worshipper and love nothing more than basking on a towel by the pool or on the beach to bronze yourself then this place is unbeatable.From east to west, the island measures about 240 kilome-tres, and north to south the widest point measures just 96

kilometres. Its vital statistics make it the third largest island in the Med, but also compact enough to be eas-ily navigated. For example, the drive from Larnaca to the popular resort town of Limassol (in the south) is roughly 40 minutes, the drive from Larnaca to Paphos is less than an hour-and-a-half, every kilometre of which is on good quality roads meeting the highest European standards.

Historical LegaciesThe history of Cyprus has seen the island lure visitors from all over for many centuries, some merely stopping

by, and others more intent on staying. Those motivated by conquest saw a strategic economic advantage in seizing this important trading and transit point located in the far east of the Mediterranean. Conquest and the mix of cultures it brings has left an indelible imprint on the island and can be seen in important archaeological remnants, such as those found at the Kourion Theatre site near Limassol and the Tomb of the Kings close to Paphos. The latter is a UNESCO World Heritage Site; the former should also possibly hold that distinction with its enor-mous 2,000 seat Greco Roman theatre and the marvellous restored mosaics in the ruins of the market place that sur-rounds this stunning area.For many years, Cyprus was part of the British Empire and because of that there are elements of British life and society visible all over. The first thing any visitor will notice is that you drive on the left. It’s really not that hard to get used to. Also, the law of the land follows the English model, while almost everyone speaks English reasonably well. As Cyprus has been a popular holiday destination for people from Ukraine and other parts of the former Soviet Union for 20 years or more, it is also common to see shop signs and res-taurant menus in Russian and there is a large Russian speak-ing expatriate community to be found island-wide.

Food Glorious FoodAnother important aspect of Cypriot life is food. In terms of freshness, taste and variety, Cyprus has all the boxes checked. There are some specifics to the Cypriot food

offerings that any visitor needs to try. The first recommendation is the simply wonderful Halloumi cheese, grilled. Halloumi is of such importance to Cyprus that there have been efforts to register it as a Protected Designation of Origin product, like Cornish pasties from that county in the United Kingdom. The designa-tion means the product must only come from the specific place after which it is named. Never mind the technicalities though, taste it, grilled, it’s divine…and addictive. Further food advice, if you have a large appe-tite, order a “meze”. Most local restaurants offer this dish and the choice is either meat or fish based. Once you have selected the type of meze you want, there is no further choice at all. The restaurant will bring you whatever they are serv-ing that day and you will be served plate after plate of tasty dishes until you reach the point where you can consume no more. A meze always includes halloumi!

Beaches, But Secret Beaches! Of course, one of the main activities any visitor to Cyprus is expected to enjoy is the beach. There are many to choose from in the major resorts of Larnaca, Paphos and Limassol. However, some of the best (read: quietest/best kept secrets!) are to be found on the outskirts of towns. Luckily for readers, Panorama can point you in the right direction!About 20 kilometres to the west of Limassol, lies Governor’s Beach. This place is normally busy with locals on the weekend, but as everyone has jobs to go to during the week it is a quiet sandy paradise that stretches for almost 2 kilometres from Monday to Friday. The beach is not particularly wide, but that’s fine because it means that your walk for refreshments from one of the various beachside restaurants or bars isn’t far. They all offer a reasonably priced menu for lunch and din-ner, because of course these are places that cater to locals rather than chasing extra margins from tourists.To the other side of Limassol, there is another splen-did beach named Lady’s Mile. The beach and surrounding territory are sovereign British bases, a legacy of the days when Cyprus was a British Colony. Following the island gaining independence, the British retained exactly 99.9 square miles of land, on which it maintains military bases. The name of this beach has a military link, apparently one of the officers from the nearby RAF Akrotiri used to regularly exer-cise his horse, Lady, there. However there’s more than a mile, as this beach stretches out 7 kilometres in length. At certain times of the year, the Royal Air Force’s world famous Red Arrows aircraft dis-play team is based here and so you may be lucky to see their breath-taking routines on one of their training flights while you lie soaking up the sun.In recent years, the owners of various inns and taverns along this beach have been competing with one another for crowds of (again, mainly weekend) beachgoers. A bit of competition is always good for the consumer, which means that not only has food quality and price been sub-

jected to healthy checks and balances, but some establish-ments have gone as far as investing in offshore play parks! Imagine a 200-metre long inter-connected series of bouncy castles floating on the water. How much fun will kids (big or small) have playing on that? And all for the price of rent-ing a bed, sun shade and buying beer from a particular

beach bar. A real bargain!If you chose not to rent a car at your holiday

destination, don’t worry, because the in-town beaches also have much to offer.

Dotted throughout the towns, and most likely close to your hotel, are many opportunities for some on-the-water fun. Almost all water sports opera-tors will offer the ultimate buzz ride of a jet ski. Or, try your hand at water skiing, kayaking, wind surfing, and banana rides.

World Class DivingSome of the best fun though is to be

found not on the water, but under it. The waters of the Med have pleasant tempera-

tures for diving most of the year, and can offer welcome respite from the heat during the mid-summer months. Cyprus offers great diving for learners and expe-rienced divers alike. You may not know, but kids can catch the scuba bug as young as 8-years old, by signing up for a “Bubble Makers” course where they spend an hour with an instructor learning about the equipment they’ll be using and the language of scuba hand signals. Once ready, kids

Cyprus offers great diving for learners and experienced divers alike

are taken to a close-by swimming pool to move from theory to practice. After a few tries of “stick your head under, cool isn’t it?”, they don fins (flip-pers for the uninitiated…) and start darting from one side of the pool to the other, all under the close supervi-sion of the instructor. To help them feel comfortable in this unusual environ-ment, time is spent playing various under-water games until the air is all spent up and it’s time to get out. It’s easy to see from an 8-years old’s cry of “that was the greatest thing I have ever done!” that a lifetime addiction to the underwater world could form. For those who have more experience, Cyprus also offers top quality open water diving. Off the coast of Larnaca is a sunken cargo ferry, the Zenobia: the site is classed as one of the world’s top 10 dive wrecks as all of the boat’s cargo lies where it was when it sank in 1980. Now though, it has the added beauty of artificial coral the sinking created and it has become home to an array of fish such as giant tuna, barra-cuda, amberjack and eel.While there are many things to do on and around the coast, it’s worth taking time to explore some of inland Cyprus as well. You won’t have to venture very far inward to see a very different way of life. The villages of Cyprus that lie even a few kilometres from the coast are like stepping back in time. Many of them are studded with old stone-built homes and cafés, everyone knows everyone, the centre of

the village will be the church, or, maybe the kebab shop next to the church is the “real” centre of the village as both are revered. The “yayas” (“babushkas” or older ladies) will be walking around dressed completely in black if they are wid-owed. Cyprus villages tend to be compact, so from most points there will be views of the beautiful countryside – adding to the peace and tranquillity of the place.

Topping It All OffIf you decide to visit the peak of the island, the Troodos Mountains, the pinnacle of which is Mount Olympus at 1951 metres, you will skirt past many such villages and it is well worth taking a few minutes as a detour to explore their core. Continue driving up the windy roads that lead

to Cyprus’ highlands and you’ll be struck by the sudden change of for-estry, as the palms of the coast give way to the pines of the mountains. The change of scenery is accompanied by a noticeable drop in temperature – wel-come in the summer, maybe not in the winter unless you are heading up the slopes to ski them. Cyprus is one of the few genuinely unique places in the world where at certain times of the year it is possible to ski on the water in the morning, enjoying air tempera-tures reaching a pleasant 20 degrees

Celsius, and several hours later be strap-ping on skis of a different kind to play on snow covered slopes. On top of Mount Olympus, you can chose from four runs, ranging from the 150-metre beginners’ Aph-rodite hill, to the 500-metre advanced North Face 1.

And Lastly…Cyprus, the island of love, the island of Aphrodite, if you have not visited, you really need to know what you have been missing. One final note, on the road between Limassol and Paphos you will find the stunning Petra tou Romiou, also known as “Aphrodite’s Rock”. Here, you will find the hillside adjacent to the rock covered in hearts and initials made out of small stones from the beach, literally thousands of them. Leave yours. You never know, but it might lead to a lifetime of lasting love with that special person.

GETTING THERE Starting 31 March, UIA will operate daily flights from Kiev and other Ukrainian cities to Larnaca.

THE BEST JUST GOT BETTERIt’s hard to think how the two-seat sports coupé model line by Porsche could be improved, but the company has done it. The automaker has completed its sports car family with the all-new PORSCHE CAYMAN, which is 30 kilogrammes lighter and consumes up to 15% less fuel than its predecessors the 911 Carrera and Boxster. Depending on the transmission, the base Cayman model consumes up to 8.2 litres per 100 kilometres, while the quicker Cayman S consumes up to 8.8 litres. The exterior of the car is eye-catching, with sleek clear lines and sculpted curves. And if all that weren’t enough, there’s also an optional Burmester high-end surround sound system, conceived and tuned specifically for the new model. Another perk is ACC, an enhanced version of cruise control, which regulates the speed of the vehicle in line with the speed of the car in front. New Porsche Cay-man models will be available at dealers throughout Ukraine this spring.

MULTITASKING? EASY!One of the strongest points of the new Android-based LG OPTIMUS G smartphone is its multi-tasking ability. The innovative QSlide technology allows, for instance, the user to watch videos while answering a message or browsing the Internet – images will just appear on top of each other. The sleek case of this stylish device hides a powerful quad-core processor and a battery, which provides around 335 hours of standby time. A 4.7-inch high-density pixel display of 320 ppi (1280x768 pixels) makes reading text on the screen comfortable. A memory storage capacity of 32 Gb is more than enough for a decent collec-tion of video, games and crystal clear images shot with the 13-megapixel camera.

Cities are often commemorated in writing, song, on screen and… on plates. There’s Viennese cof-

fee named after the Austrian capital, Spaghetti Bolognese, or the Manhattan cocktail created in New

York. One of the most popular cakes in the former Soviet Union and even now, Prague Cake, was invent-

ed by a chef in Moscow. Although it bears little rela-tionship to Prague, for many living in the post-Soviet

space this multi-layered confection remains closely associated with the Czech Republic’s capital

46 / PANORAMA Y 3 / 2013

Before losing yourself for a while in Staré Mcsto, take your time to explore the Old Town Square. It is par-ticularly famous for its medieval Astronomical Clock, or Prague Orloj, mounted on the Old Town City Hall. Installed in 1410, it is considered the third oldest of its kind in the world and the oldest still working. The Orloj has been showing the exact time, as well as the position of the Sun and Moon in the sky, for more than six centu-ries now! Legend has it; the Orloj was made by a medieval clock-master Hanud, who was then blinded by city councillors so he couldn’t make a similar masterpiece elsewhere. Hanud took revenge by disabling the clock mechanism, and dropped dead that same second. They say that no one could repair the clock for a century… A particular draw for tourists is the clock’s hourly show of moving sculptures, representing things despised at the time of the clock’s making. A figure of Death strikes the time, a Miser holds a bag of gold, Vanity admires himself in a mirror… When you finally manage to take your eyes off the captivating show, climb the stairs to the top of the Old Town City Hall. From there, you’ll see not only a striking panorama of the city, but four houses once inhabited by Franz Kafka, one of Prague’s most notable citizens.

Prague’s Kafkaesque LayerOne of the most enigmatic German-language novelists, Kafka was born in Prague in 1883 and spent much of his lifetime working here as an insurance clerk, something he was never quite happy about. Prague, a “dear little monster with sharp claws”, had a profound impact on the writer, influencing his tales of totalitarian bureaucracy.The house where Kafka was born is located not far from the St Nicholas Church (U radnice 5). The writer’s father, retail merchant Hermann Kafka, settled here after having brought his family to Prague. There’s a plaque there now, and a neighboring square is named after the writer.

f course, it is difficult to compare a city to a sumptuous dessert. However, they do have something in common. Just like the cake named in its honour, Prague consists

of multiple layers, which, when combined, create an irresistible mix.

Medieval LayerAs befits the soul of the city, Prague’s Old Town, or Staré Mcsto, is always crowded. In a bid to capture tourists’ attention, local tour guides raise brightly coloured umbrel-las above their heads in all weather. Our guide, Eugene, is even more creative. Leading our group through the maze of the Old Town, he starts humming Beethoven’s 5th Symphony every time we make a stop.“Staré Mcsto got its name in 14th century, when Emperor Charles IV founded the New Town, or Nové Mcsto, just outside the medieval city walls,” Eugene explains. “It helped avoid misunderstanding.” However, it didn’t make the planning of the Old Town any less puzzling. Lead-ing away from the Old Town Square, its narrow streets intersect at incredible angles. So, if you think that getting lost (accidentally or on purpose) is the best way to get acquainted with a city, this part of Prague might be the perfect place to do it.

PRAGUE’S TOP RESTAURANTS

CÉLESTE (Rasinovo Nabrezi 80)This fine dining location is situated on the top floor of the Dancing House, Prague’s famous deconstructivist building.

NA VERANDÁCH (Nádraaní 84/43)A restaurant adjoining the famed Staropramen brewery, it offers the freshest and the best beer of the same brand.

PIVOVARSK= D>M (Jebná 16)This brewery is distinguished by the diversity of its varieties and unusual blends. It is worthwhile to sample banana, coffee and… nettle beer.

HERGETOVA CIHELNA (Cihelná 2b)This giant restaurant, set in a former factory building with excellent views of the Charles Bridge, is a favourite haunt of Czech politicians.

LOKAL (Dlouha 33)This restaurant combines reasonable prices and delicious food with the atmosphere of a Soviet Czech canteen. Try the stew here, Prague ham and excellent Plzen beer.

STRUDL (Jeseniova 29)A favourite haunt of Zizkov district residents which sells three types of strudel – apple, cottage cheese and poppy.

BUGSY’S BAR (Paciaska 10)One of the city’s oldest cocktail bars is famous for its regulars, including politicians, businessmen and even the president of the Czech Republic.

ABSINTHERIE FRANZ KAFKA (Námdstí Franze Kafky 14/8)Perhaps the biggest selection of the potent green drink is offered by this small absinthe house near the Old Town Square.

JAN PAUKERT (Narodni trida 17)Opened in 1916, this grocery store is famous for its traditional Czech hlebichek sandwiches, created by the store’s founder, Jan Paukert.

ZIZKOV BEERHOUSESThis social hotspot is famous for the biggest concentration of bars and clubs per square meter in Prague.

48 / PANORAMA Y 3 / 2013

Given the bridge’s long life, perhaps the story holds some weight. At least, the turbulent Vltava River, which had destroyed previous bridges, has thus far done no harm to this structure. Throughout its history, the Charles Bridge bore witness to many important events. It was the only means of crossing the river Vltava through to the mid-19th century, and rul-ers of the former Kingdom of Bohemia used it to get from Prague Castle to the city’s Old Town. It was here that the first Czech tram line was launched in 1883. Now a popular sport with visitors, it is hardly possible to see Karlev Most without having to negotiate crowds of tourists, painters and vendors alike, even at dawn. Maybe it’s for the better, as those mystically inclined believe that from time to time the bridge is haunted by ghosts…Such rumours might be due to the gloomy sculptures decorating the parapets. Thirty silent stone figures adorn the bridge observing the passage of those crossing and of time.

Another famous footprint, left by Kafka across the city, is the house “At the Minute”, Dum U minuty, at the Old Town Square (Staromcstské námcstí 2). Here, the young Franz lived for seven years, from 1889 through to 1896. The building is easily recognisable with its impres-sive façade, covered in ornate sgraffito decorations. Its previous notable inhabitants include the “Father of Humanism”, Petrarch, and John Faustus, legendary Ger-man Renaissance alchemist and magician. In 1916, Kafka moved into a house with a bright blue façade on Golden Lane (Zlatá uli`ka 22). It seems like the writer was followed by mysticism everywhere; they say that medieval alchemists also lived here. You have to pay to get into the street; to save some korunas, wait until 6pm, when admission is free. One of Kafka’s favourite haunts was Café Louvre (Národní 20), where he used to swap ideas with Prague’s intellectuals. While it is popular among tourists, Franz Kafka Café (biroká 12), has little to do with the writer except bearing his name. Those wishing to extend their travels in Kafka’s footsteps should visit the writer’s museum at Cihelna 2b in Prague’s Malá Strana (Lesser Town). Displaying rare first editions, correspondence and diaries, the museum immerses visi-tors in the world the author of The Metamorphosis lived and wrote about.

Spooky LayerThe Charles Bridge, or Karlev Most, celebrated its 655th anniversary last year. Its time of foundation is symbolic and easy to remember. Eugene explains, “The first stone of the bridge was laid by King Charles IV himself. A strong believer of numerology, he asked astrologists to choose the time which was considered favourable due to a specific position of planets.” And then, on a piece of paper, our guide writes a combination of first ascending, then descending odd numbers: 1-3-5-7-9-7-5-3-1. “The first four numbers indicate the year: 1357. The 9 is the date, the 7 is the month, 5:31 is the time.” It’s simply brilliant! The construction had to link the Old Town with the Mala Strana. Legend has it that, in order to imbue the bridge with additional strength, builders added to the construction mate-rial some calx – the crumbly residue left after a mineral or metal that has been calcined or roasted, and, believe it or not, wine and eggs brought in from across the whole country.

50 / PANORAMA Y 3 / 2013

One of the oldest is the sculp-ture of John Nepomuk, considered to be the patron of Charles Bridge and of all Czech land. Another saint protecting the country is St Vitus; he is depicted in a pit crawling with lions. According to a legend, the saint went to Rome to cure the Emperor but refused to pray to the Roman gods. The preacher was thrown into the pit to be devoured by hungry lions. But a miracle hap-pened; the hostile animal did not even touch him. Due to his healing talents Vitus became famous far beyond the Czech frontiers. Named after him is the beautiful Gothic cathedral, overlooking Prague Castle.

Bohemian LayerJust like Rome, Prague is also situ-ated on seven hills. One of them is crowned by Prague Castle, one of the world’s biggest. Measuring 570 metres long and 130 metres wide, it protected Bohemian kings and Austrian rulers from their enemies for centuries. In 1993, it became the official residence of the president of the Czech Republic.The first fortress appeared here in the 9th century. It was later used to protect the Strahov Monastery, founded in the 12th century. Its most precious treasure is the big-gest collection of books in the Czech Republic, containing more than 130,000 books, of which 2,500 were published before 1500. The oldest example is the Strahov Gospel, decorated with precious stones. Entering the baroque halls of the library, especially to its Theo-logical or Philosophical Halls, one understands that the reading of books was once a luxury afforded only to the elite.The Art Nouveau style that swept Europe became popular in Czech territory at the beginning of the 20th century. One of the brightest proponents of this style is Alfons Mucha, whose museum is situ-ated near the Principal Post Office in Kaunitz Palace (Kaunicky palac, Panska 7). Having “picked up” modernist elements in Vienna and Paris, the painter gained fame by designing advertising posters for French stage and early film actress Sarah Bernhardt. Two halls host lithographed posters, paintings and sculptures by Mucha. He also con-tributed to the decoration of the

Municipal House built in 1906-1912, and together with other top Czech painters he decorated the hall of Smetana.

Icing on the CakeModern Prague is hard to imagine without the works of controversial sculptor David gern\ that can be found throughout the city. His art features a black sense of humour and sarcasm. For example, a parody of the Statue of the King Wenc-eslas who is a patron of the Czech Republic “hangs” under the dome of the Lucerna Passage astride an upside down horse. Near the Kafka Museum, gern\ established two bronze men who function as the Prague equivalent of Brussel’s Manneken Pis sculp-ture. On hiikov Television Tower, Prague’s tallest building at 216 metres, the artist installed black three metre tall crawling baby sculptures transforming one of the ugliest buildings in the city into a popular tourist spot.However, the notoriety of gern\ attracted attention not only to his work, but also to his place of work. No sooner had he opened an art-centre in industrial premises on the southern outskirts of the Smichov district then other young artists began to congregate there. His creative space and contemporary art-centre, called Meetfactory, is a place where, in addition to studies and design workshops, you can find an avant-garde theatre, a trendy bar and club, where electro bands from around the world play their music. Another favourite place of Prague’s Bohemian set, is the contempo-rary art-centre the Dox Centre for Contemporary Art, located in the district Prague 7 (suburb Holesho-vitse). The main commercial gal-lery of the capital is Futura, which hosts conceptual works from all around the world in its 1,000 m2 exhibition area.One more place that is certainly worth visiting is the wall of the Maltese Gardens at Mala Strana. Since the 1980s, the Embassy of the Sovereign Order of Malta has been gradually transformed into one of the most famous works of street art. Tags of All You Need Is Love, Imagine and portraits of John Lennon appeared again and again in spite of all government efforts to whitewash the popular graffiti.

PANORAMA Y 3 / 2013 / 51

Sight-seeing can make you work up a thirst and there is no better way to quench it than with Czech beer. The amber liquid is made in every self-respecting pub and there are many of those in Prague. The competitiveness between bars means each tries to put its own twist on the drink and that makes Prague a haven for beer lov-ers. The locals meanwhile are weaned on beer culture, but even after only sampling a few pints you start to understand the subtleties of different brews very quickly. Ordinary tourists are surprised by the fact that beer can be drunk in Prague from morning to night, with anything from meat to a dessert. Perhaps the perfect complement to Prague Cake!

GETTING THERE Starting 31 March, UIA will operate daily flights from Kiev and other Ukrainian cities to Prague.

In 1990, a century after the death of Vincent van Gogh, auction house Sotheby’s was the in the eye of an art-world hurricane. The storm centred on the painter’s Portrait of Dr Gachet, which went under the hammer for $82.5 million! For years, no other art-work could beat this record price. What irony! During his life, the artist managed to sell only one painting…

his year, the world celebrates 160 years since the birth of the Netherlands’ post-impressionist artist who recognised neither compromise nor authority. Having spent his entire artistic career on a creative

path, from which neither fashion nor the need to make money could make him deviate, he received worldwide rec-ognition only after death. His painting career spanned only a decade, but that did not prevent him from becoming one of the most famous artists in history.

A Loony LonerVincent Willem van Gogh was born on 30

March 1853, in the village of Groot Zundert in the south of the Netherlands to Protes-tant pastor Theodorus van Gogh and his wife Anna Cornelia. Later, the couple had five children, but the young van Gogh only shared a strong bond with his younger brother Theo. The collection of letters

exchanged between Vincent and Theo has become the most comprehensive source in

the understanding of van Gogh’s life.

56 / PANORAMA Y 3 / 2013

In one of them, Vincent wrote that his “Childhood was dark, cold and empty”. The boy was considered a sociopath and suffered greatly trying to be like everyone else. He was especially good at foreign languages, like German, French and English, so it was easy for him to read the work of famous authors in their original lan-guages when he grew up. However, when Vincent was 15, he suddenly abandoned his studies at his boarding school in the middle of a school year and never properly returned to formal education again.

Church and MinersAt the age of 16, Vincent started working as an art dealer in Goupil & Cie, his uncle’s company in The Hague. The company was selling art, and Vincent quickly got a taste for the art business. Soon, he was earning more than his father. In 1873, he was transferred to the London branch and two years later went to the company’s office in Paris. There, Vincent began to criticise the attitude toward art as a commodity and soon got fired.The young man returned to Holland, where for a while he worked in a bookshop, did some translating and entered the department of theology of the University of Amster-dam. He quickly became bored of his studies, however, and went on to the Protestant missionary school near Brussels.Three months later, van Gogh was sent as a missionary to the poor mining region of Borinage in southern Belgium. The young man was teaching miners’ children literacy and God’s Word, caring for the sick, and giving his clothing and money to the poor. His eagerness, however, verged on fanaticism and was not appreciated by church leaders. Van Gogh was prohibited from preaching. Outraged and disap-pointed, Vincent found solace in painting: “I said to myself, ‘start drawing’ – and since then things have changed.” Finally he realised that his true calling was to be an artist, and began to make sketches of the hard life of miners.

HeartbrokenIn summer 1881, Vincent suffered an unrequited love for his cousin Kee. The young man made numerous attempts to win the heart of the girl, and on receiving refusal after refusal, in desperation he threatened to burn himself alive. The girl’s father had to intervene and drove the impulsive Vincent out of his daughter’s life…However, the ramifications of the incident affected rela-tionships within van Gogh’s family. In addition, he became disillusioned with religion, something which enraged his father. The pastor reacted by banishing his son from home, and Vincent moved to The Hague.

VAN GOGH TRAIL

AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDSVan Gogh Museum (Museumplein; www.vangoghmuseum.nl) contains the world’s largest collection of works by the artist (about 200 paintings and 500 drawings) and celebrates its 40th anniversary in 2013. Now under reconstruction,

the museum will open on 1 May. Through to 25 April, the majority of the exhibition can be seen in the Amsterdam Hermitage (Amstel 51).

OTTERLO, NETHERLANDSThe greatest value of Kroller-Muller Museum (Houtkampweg 6; www.kmm.nl)

is the second largest collection of van Gogh (87 pictures), which includes the famous painting Café Terrace at Night.

PROVINCE OF NORTH BRABANT, NETHERLANDSWhen in Zundert, visit the museum built on the site of Van Gogh’s house (Markt 29), as well as the church, where the future artist was baptised and where

his father was pastor. In Tilburg, visit the school where Vincent studied. In Etten-

Leur, don’t miss the annual festival Van Gogh’s Alive (this year, it runs from 25 May through to 2 June). In Nuenen, there’s the house of the Groot family, which was depicted in The Potato Eaters (www.vangoghbrabant.com).

PARIS, FRANCEAt Montmartre (54 Rue Lepic), you can find the house where Vincent lived with his brother Theo. The Museum of Orsay exhibits 25 paintings of van Gogh, including Portrait of Dr Gachet, Bedroom at Arles and Starry Night over the Rhone (5 Quai Anatole France; www.musee-orsay.fr).

ARLES, FRANCEIn Arles (www.arlestoruisme.com), a trail is marked with a dozen places depicted in the paintings of van Gogh, including a coffee shop on the Forum Square and the courtyard of the former hospital where Van Gogh was brought

after the incident with his ear cut off. The Yellow House, unfortunately, was destroyed during World War II, now there’s a bakery on the site. The renovated

museum of The Van Gogh Foundation in Arles opens in summer 2013 (www.fondation-vincentvangogh-arles.org).

SAINTMREMYMDEMPROVENCE, FRANCEIn the afternoon, you can visit the still active clinic Saint-Paul and the ward van Gogh was treated in. And at night, enjoy the sky from which the artist was

inspired to create his Starry Night (www.saintpauldemausole.fr).

AUVERSMSURMOISE, FRANCEThe city hall of the town, a chateau and a church depicted in the paintings by Vincent are worth seeing. Also, visit the house of Dr Gachet, the former hotel Auberge Ravoux (52 Rue du Général de Gaulle; www.maisondevangogh.fr), where van Gogh died, as well as the grave of the artist and his brother in the town cemetery.

58 / PANORAMA Y 3 / 2013

Scandal would continue to dog him, and after his affair with a prostitute named Sien, his friends and relatives turned away. Nevertheless, poverty and despair only helped the stubborn Vincent to improve as an artist. He travelled throughout northern Holland, drawing landscapes and por-traits of local residents. In 1883, his relationship with Sien ended and he returned home.Back at home, van Gogh was to fall in love again, before another disappointment – the parents of his sweetheart Margot Begemann did not give their consent to a marriage between the couple. Heartbroken, Margot attempted to poison herself. While she survived, the external pressure caused the relationship to sour… The death of his father in 1885 finally separated the artist from any ties to his immediate family, with the exception of his relationship with brother Theo, which became even closer. About this time, van Gogh completed his first masterpiece, The Potato Eaters, in which depressed farmers are por-trayed sharing their simple meal in the dim light of a lamp.

See Paris… And Run AwayInitially, Vincent wanted to learn the basics of classical painting and sent his works to the Ant-werp Academy. The professors did not find him talented, but still he began to attend classes. However, as usual, academic life quickly bored him and he moved to his brother’s in Paris. The latter was managing the local branch of Goupil’s gal-lery. Fully intent on becoming an artist in his own right, Vincent went on to become a disciple of the famous painter Fernand Cormon. As always, his patience didn’t last long, the studies didn’t justify van Gogh’s expectations and he dropped them.In Paris, Vincent met a young artist, Henri de

Toulouse-Lautrec. Through connections of Theo, Vincent got the opportunity to attend numerous galleries where he was astounded by works of the impressionists, admiring especially the paintings of Degas, Monet, Manet and Pissarro. It suddenly dawned on him that his work had to be different, full of colour and warmth. Vin-cent dreamt of warmer climes: “The future of the new art in the south.” Inspired by stories of Toulouse-Lautrec about the town of Arles in Provence, van Gogh travelled to the south of France in the winter of 1888.

VAN GOGH’S EAR: REAL OR FAKE?

Did Van Gogh really cut off his ear? According to the official biography of the artist, after a quarrel with Gauguin and large quantities of absinthe, he was tormented by auditory hallucinations. His addled brain suggested that getting rid of an ear could silence the voices. According to another version, van Gogh’s ear could have been cut off by Gauguin himself during a duel. This conclusion was made in 2009 by historians of Hamburg University. They argued that the artists had quarrelled over the prostitute Rachel, and Gauguin drew his sword and cut off a piece of his friend’s ear. Van Gogh did not tell anything worthwhile to the police and Paul Gauguin told them that his friend attacked him with a razor. Later, he described the incident in his autobiographical essay Now and Then. Thus Gauguin’s account became regarded as the truth.There is also another version of Van Gogh’s death. He was not going to take his own life, US-based researchers Steven Naifeh and Gregory White Smith argue in their book Van Gogh: The Life, published in 2011. The pair claim the artist was accidentally shot by two drunk teenagers and cite as evidence the angle at which the bullet entered his body, which is uncharacteristic for suicides. Simply, van Gogh decided to protect friends from jail and took the blame. The researchers also question his alleged madness. After all, doctors diagnosed epilepsy, not mental illness. The idea of van Gogh as a crazy genius hermit was spread by German gallery owner Julius Meier-Graefe, who decided he could make money on it. This account received scientific backing in 1922, thanks to the book of the philosopher and psychologist Karl Jaspers, who investigated the change of colour and style of the paintings and intonation in the letters of the artist. The study both marred van Gogh and made him a legendary figure, hence his paintings also increased in value.

60 / PANORAMA Y 3 / 2013

A Step to MadnessVincent was delighted by Arles and it was there the art-ist worked tirelessly until summer when he left for the Mediterranean coast to Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer and discovered the inexpressible night sky. The artist tried to convey all the shades of night on canvas. He decided to paint night landscapes outdoors, and although works of this kind were usually drawn in workshops, rumour has it that in order to draw in the dark van Gogh wore a hat with candles on it. The artist didn’t mention anything like that in his letters, but did refer to the light of candles, which added coloured shadows to cold darkness.Van Gogh was determined to create a “commune” of art-ists similar in spirit and style. He rented a few rooms at Arles’ “Yellow House” where, in his opinion, like-minded artists could live and work together. Vincent invited Paul Gauguin, whom he made friends with in Paris. In autumn 1888, the artist arrived in Arles.The idyll did not last long. Gauguin was trying to establish his own artistic style, so the pair constantly quarrelled. The conflict boiled over on 23 December when Van Gogh rushed at Gauguin with a razor in his hand, but at the last moment pulled back.

Gauguin retreated to a hotel while Vincent remained in his modest apartment where later, in a mixture of rage and self-loathing, he cut off his left ear lobe, wrapped it in a scarf and took it to a brothel where he presented it to a prostitute called Rachel. Upon receiving the “gift” the woman fainted, but after recovery called police. Guardians then transported the emaciated artist to a hospital for the mentally ill.A week later, van Gogh returned home, where more bad news awaited him: money was short, his brother was preoc-cupied with his new bride, and his only friend, a postman, was about to leave town. The artist was plagued by night-mares and hallucinations, but he didn’t neglect his canvas. At that time, many of his portraits were created, including his famous Self-portrait with Bandaged Ear.

Love-hate RelationshipThe citizens of Arles could no longer tolerate his instability. “Imbécile, imbécile!” was shouted at Vincent as he walked around the town. Eventually, locals gathered enough signa-tures on a petition to send van Gogh to a madhouse.Vincent himself knew he was not quite right and on 8 May 1889, he voluntarily checked in to the clinic in Saint-Rémy. There, doctors diagnosed him with epilepsy and began to treat him with pills and baths. Soon, the artist could draw again and created one of his most famous masterpieces, The Starry Night.He left the hospital on 20 December and went back to Arles. However, after only three days and exactly a year after the incident he cut his ear off, Vincent suffered another attack. And again, a week passed in horror and hallucinations. He continued to paint, haunted by his wish to leave the hateful city. “My departure was a mistake” – he wrote to his brother. On 16 May 1890, Vincent returned to Paris.

Endless SorrowBrother Theo and his wife warmly welcomed Vincent into their home, but it was short lived and van Gogh spent only a few days in the French capital. On the invitation of homeo-path Dr Gachet, he travelled to the town of Auvers-sur-Oise, 30 kilometres from Paris. For a time, his life seemed to be improving: the artist’s fragile mental state seemed more sta-ble and his relationship with his brother became even closer.

In June, Theo with his spouse and son came to see Vincent, and the artist repaid the visit. However, it was the beginning of the end. The brothers fell out with each other severely. Van Gogh felt that he was too much of a burden to Theo, who all his life had supported him finan-cially. Theodore’s business was not as successful as before, and the family needed money. Vincent withdrew and went back to Auvers-sur-Oise.On 23 July 1890, he wrote his last letter to his brother. He already had a gun, allegedly needed to scare birds away. One of the last paintings of the master was Wheatfield with Crows featuring a dark sky, a field of wind-blown wheat, three roads to nowhere and above all this a flock of black crows. Van Gogh wrote: “This immeasurable space full of wheat under troubled skies… Looking at it I feel infinite sadness and loneliness.”On the evening of 27 July 1890, Vincent left the house with his easel and went into the field. There he pulled a gun and shot himself in the chest. Despite terrible pain, he was able to get home. In his pocket there was an unfin-ished letter to his brother: “I paid with my life for my job, and it cost me half my sanity…”Theo rushed to be with his brother as soon as he found out about the tragedy. On 29 July 1890, Vincent died in the arms of his brother. Van Gogh’s last words were “sad-ness will last forever”. The artist was buried in Auvers-sur-Oise. Six months later, Theo himself passed away: serious illness and Vin-cent’s tragic death hastened his own demise. In 1914, his wife Johanna had her way and Theo was reinterred in Auvers meaning the two brothers and best friends lie side-by-side – Theodore and Vincent van Gogh.

UIA HAS ANNOUNCED ITS 2012 PRELIMINARY FINANCIAL RESULTS

According to 2012 preliminary results, obtained in compliance with the requirements of the National Accounting Standards of Ukraine, UIA reached break-even points and received net profit for the first time in a three-year period.In 2012, UIA operated 25,116 flights and carried 2.8 mil-lion passengers exceeding figures posted the previous year by 33%. The preliminary financial results show the airline’s pre-tax profit amounted to 9.5 million UAH.Despite marginal profit, made due to the incred-ible efforts of UIA staff, 2012’s financial results did not allow the airline to completely settle liquidity issues and to cut losses accumulated in recent years. However, positive financial results demonstrate UIA’s strength and the ability to negotiate the conse-quences the global financial crisis had on the aviation industry.Ultimate financial results will be announced upon the completion of an audit currently being conducted by Deloitte & Touche USC a leading auditing and con-sulting company.

The following limitations are applied to the amounts of liquids, gels and sprays, carried in hand baggage of passengers, travelling through the

airports of EU countries, as well as Norway, Iceland and Switzerland.

All liquids, gels and sprays in your hand baggage must be in individual containers with a maximum capacity of 100 millilitres each. You must pack

these containers in one transparent, re-sealable plastic bag of not more than one litre capacity per passenger (see image above).

Restrictions are imposed on water and other drinks, soups, syrups; creams, lotions and oils; perfumes;

sprays; gels, including hair and shower gels; pressurised container contents, including; shaving foam, other foams and deodorants; pastes, including toothpaste; liquid-solid mixtures; mascara; any other item of similar consistency.

Passengers still can:pack liquids in checked

baggage;carry in hand luggage

medicines and dietary requirements, including baby foods, for use during the trip;

buy liquids such as drinks and perfumes either in an EU airport shop when located beyond the point where you show your boarding pass or on board an aircraft operated by an EU airline. If they are sold in a

specially sealed bag, do not open it before you are screened – otherwise the contents may be confiscated at the checkpoint. All these liquids are in addition to the quantities in the re-sealable plastic bag mentioned above (1 litre maximum).
