Most recently, the Ukrainian singer Ruslana Lyzhychko broke into the world of music when winning the 2004 Eurovision Song Contest. Many Ukrainian artists have gained recognition far beyond the borders of their country. Our young artists are spreading the fame of Ukrainian arts schools. One work of art by the young Ukrainian artist, Kateryna Kosyanenko, recently won the first prize at the Autumn Exhibition (Salon D’Automne) in Paris. The film of the young director Ihor Strembytsky “The Wayfarers” won the “Golden Palm” of the Cannes Film Festival. We are certain that Ukrainian sports and cultural stars will definitely enrich not only Ukraine’s, but the world’s treasury.
