Do not litter with words

“Poles in Ukraine”.
Poles have always lived in Ukraine. Polish culture doesn’t exist without Lwów or Wilno – the cities that nowadays belong to Ukraine. “It was the revenge of Stalin, we all now it”. Many Poles in Ukraine do not know the language, many do not cultivate the identity. In the old times it was even dangerous to admit it. Many Poles have been sent to Siberia and the fathers of the families killed.
Now the Poles in Lwów and other parts of the country try to cultivate the cultural heritage. Polish government help to renovate catholic churches, palaces and galleries that were once Polish. Otherwise, they would disappear.
Born and raised in Lwów. Being a social activist is her vocation. Journalist – is her profession. The president of Polish Radio Lviv.

“The new elite for a New Europe”
There is a lot of dirt in our country. In the outside but in their hearts, people try not to throw litter about. Not to litter with thoughts, with words. Not to offend. Think positively. There are not only human rights, that we talk about much here. There are also human duties, that Moises and later Christ told about.
Human rights are in danger. We now the situation in Georgia in the eastern Ukraine. If you add terrorism in France, in Belgium than it seems clear that there is a crisis of the leaders, of the elites. They need to be formed from the beginning.
