Casanova of the Cigar World
 Stumbling across a rather debonair figure in the Kyiv business community, What’s On sat down with Konstyantyn Loskutnikov – better known as Baron von Bossner. Famous the world over as an incredible cigar manufacturer, this Russian expat is now living in Germany, and coming to Kyiv for the Cigar Club’s Summer Big Smoke, that’s exactly where we found him.

Smile and the World Smiles with You! |
|
 Most new comers to Kyiv comment that the locals often look like they carry the worries of the world on their shoulders – frowns and stern faces are the most common expressions. Locals in turn say that foreigners look like idiots walking around smiling all the time.
In an attempt to change these stereotypes a group of young Ukrainians gathered on the streets of Kyiv this weekend to encourage people to smile.

Brandishing banners with slogans reading “Smile! Life is Great!”, the young men and women (all wearing broad grins themselves) did their best to prove that a smile goes a long way.
Carrying their banners and smiling from ear-to-ear, this fun-loving crew stopped shoppers as they passed by asking nothing more from them than a smile, and it worked. By the end of the day nearly everyone on Kreshchatyk was smiling.
And we here at What’s On encourage you to do the same. It may be easier to spread a bad mood than a good one, but it feels so much better to spread the latter!

In remembrance to the writer, playwright and carrier of that very name, Gogol’s influence as a creative force is recognised every September. And with the event’s old venue (Mystetskiy Arsenal) overshadowed by our country’s illustrious Dovzhenko Studios, that commemoration has certainly got bigger and better this year.

Book ‘Em Danylo
With more and more internationals making paths across Ukraine’s border, Kyiv’s police force has been getting out and cleaning up the city’s streets. And while this would typically be a welcome respite to the complete lack of attention residents often receive from City Administration, our boys in blue seem to be focusing in on all the wrong people. To find out just what’s been going on, the What’s On team have put on our night vision goggles and dusted off our super hearing enhancement devices and gone on a mission…
