Classic Kyiv Post: April 2016 – Amber, Poroshenko & 'diamond prosecutors,' and Groysman takes over as prime minister

The great newspaper is no more (in print) after owner Adnan Kivan destroyed it on Nov. 8, 2021, because its independent journalism threatened his business interests.

This is former Kyiv Post chief editor Brian Bonner’s introduction to the Friday, April 15, 2016, edition. Issue #16, Year #21:

Amber is so beautiful, but in Ukraine, the industry that mines it is ugly, with environmental damage, tax evasion, and corruption. This is an update on an ongoing issue.

Of course, the big news is Ukraine's new government, led by Volodymyr Groysman. We explain who is in, who is out, and what it means.

We have troubling reports alleging that President Petro Poroshenko is interfering with criminal investigations in the prosecutors' office

he controls. As usual, the presidential press service didn't respond.

We have much more, including a profile of a gay married couple in a nation where homophobia runs high still.

Thanks to all of you from all of us at the Kyiv Post. We'll see you at the Kyiv Post Employment Fair on April 23. at DEC place, 23B Lesi Ukrainky Blvd. from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m
