 | User:AlexPU is busy in real life and may not respond swiftly to queries. |
I'm Alex – an 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 and practicing political analyst);
- geopolitics, global issues, war/military policy, conflicts etc., as well as political aspects of law enforcement;
- migration & ethnopolitics;
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 thousands, 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 pretending it is something more than a bureaucratic installation)
- Militsiya (the disgrace of Soviet Union and post-Soviet states)
- 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)
- Elektrichka (an effective way to temporarily change your social environment in Ukraine :) )
Everything I've done is wrong!
Transparent informing is one of the best ways of optimizing the public image of your country! (Guess whose gigantic underdeveloped Eurasian country am I talking about).
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
- Keep those jingo-biased neighbors away from not only the Ukrainian, but also the Soviet-related pages.
- 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 ;)
