My comment: As far as I understand local partners prefer naming this event Seedcamp Eastern Europe, not Seedcamp Ukraine neither Seedcamp Kyiv :)

Robert Amsterdam: Video: Russian Extremism Takes to Social Media
My comment: Russian racists are successful enough in using social media especially blogs and online video sharing. This news of current.tv is trying to answer why Russian skinheads put videos of their attacks online.

Robert Amsterdam and Democracy Arsenal are also bringing me to ABC and NY Times news on connections of McCain’s campaign manager with Ukraine’s ex prime minister Viktor Yanukovich.
My comment: “Davis Manafort & Freeman, Inc.” work for party of Yanukovich and Akhmetov (yes, this richest guy) was a subject of attention of Ukrainian media a year ago. Paul Manafort, Philipp Griffin, Richard H. Davis and Rick Ahearn were mentioned consulting Yanukovich.
