I'm Alex - a 27 y.o. Ukrainian journalist and researcher, interested in:
- foreign contacts and professional practice
- publicizing & promoting Ukraine with all its goods or bads - because this large and old European country is unbelievably unknown to the world
- developing my English (both journalist and colloquial).
Fields of my professional interest are:
- journalism & political studies (since I'm a graduated political analyst);
- geopolitics, global issues, war/military policy, conflicts etc., as well as political aspects of law enforcement;
- migration & ethnopolitics (working hard :)) on my dissertation in Ukraine's immigration studies);
This doesn't restrict the topics of my contributions to Wikipedia (a project which idea I like very much). I start with simplest fact-based pages but gradually challenge all articles relevant to them.

My contributions
My contributions to WP number in hundreds, although it was mostly editing of existing Ukraine-related pages. I guess I'm a Wikipediaholic: )).
I'm particularly proud of my humble participation on the following pages:
- Georgiy R. Gongadze, Mykola Mel'nychenko, Cassette Scandal and UBK (the important things behind the Orange Revolution and 2004 Ukrainian presidential election)
- Security Service of Ukraine (a bureau recently pretending it is behind everything here : ) )
- Militsiya
- Kyiv (only scratched it; hope to expand this article to the level of Warsaw)
- Subdivisions of Ukraine and other geo stuff
- NKVD (somebody is starting to forget the historical lessons of this agency)
- Sknyliv (Ukraine) airshow disaster and Siberia Airlines Flight 1812 accident (the sad things foreigners can recall about Ukraine)
- Submarine (→History of submarines -- Cossack chaika)
- Viktor Yanukovych, Viktor Yushchenko and Leonid Kravchuk (I consider these guys only as the provisional, transit leaders of my nation)
Everything I've done is wrong!
Transparent informing is one of the best ways of optimizing the public image of your country! (Guess whose country am I talking now).
Acknowledgements
Thank you friends and co-contributors, especially Mzajac and Genyo.
Thank you enemies for strengthening my commitment.
Thank you everybody for not judging my English too hard : )).
To do
- Resort Category:Ukraine by adding new subcategories and filling those existing with pages from the parent one. E.g., create Category:City of Kyiv.
- Bring more order and depth to Military of Ukraine and anything related. A Wikiproject?
- Develop Kyiv.
- Bring more order to the Politics of Ukraine, 2004 Ukrainian presidential election, and anything related. Reflect the Constitutional changes - the real thing behind the victory of Yushchenko.
- Formulate a plan of filling Subdivisions of Ukraine with various local information (like economy, prominent companies and tourist attractions). Recruit more Wikifellows to actually fill all those cities and oblast's with it.
- Bring some order to Category:Ukrainian historical regions and West-Ukrainian cities, find some cooperative Polish and Romanian guys to avoid edit wars over it.
- Make the Ukrainian bureaucrats (especially law enforcers) be more transparent to harvest a minimal info on their nation-serving activities ;)
- Keep those jingo-biased neighbors away from not only the Ukrainian, but also the Soviet-related pages.
