KRAMATORSK. A GLOBAL INTERSECTION (languages spoken Ukrainian, Russian, English, Mandarin, Japanese with subtitles in English, 35min.) (See Euro-zabor, )
This film by Andy Kozlov can be viewed in full on YouTube.
Eastern Ukraine is an overlooked by globalization-interested reporting region. This student documentary attempts at revealing some aspects of the region that has been clichéd as post-Soviet for too long a period to take a note of some slow but significant long-run changes.

The multi-polar world. China standing on the threshold of assuming a changing-the-way-the-world-operates role as the second largest market comes up with a fresh and innovative outlook to the Ukrainian strategic partnership debates (so much overburdened by the Russia-EU dilemma), by opening up academic institutions in Eastern Ukraine.
