Irene, I heard those kachinskynoids are heavy case. Modern scientists put them into separate kind of man, with traits of degenerative regression. However objective Ukrainian zoologists state kachinskynoids are the kind of monkeys same as macaque or baboon.

Zbyszek, little boy, forget about Lviv... you never will get it. Why to torment yourself with empty dreams?

It's like you love a woman who is merried with another guy and spends with him the nights of passion while loser watches them furtively.

Those photo a made in Austria that's why coffee houses are together... don't forget when Poles occupied lands of Western-Ukrainian Republic, they put 70 000 of people into prisons and robbered from Ukrainians 450 000 hectares which is 1 111 974,22 acres only during four years.

Definitely, I don't need this bloody Polish coffee!

I was in the Vienesse Cafe in Lviv three or four years ago I can recommend it to you because they serve really a good coffee there. Another chic, although more expensive place is a cafe neighbouring the Boim's chapel, next to one of entrances to the Latin Cathedral. I met two guys posting in Ukraine.com there!
Randomly, I had a Russian guide when touring Lviv and Valentina was quite a good guide showing me many less known corners of Lviv.
Vasyl, thanks for the photographs. Please note a restaurant called Atlas (in the market?) named after its Jewish owner (there were two well known restaurators Atlas & Naftula), in one of the pictures you provided.
Atlas restaurant was a regular meeting place of Lwow's boheme, a place of fierce discussions where nationality was less important than intellectual clout. Jan Kasprowicz sat side by side with Oleksy Nowakiwski, a giant Ostap Ortwin continued hot and famous debates hare and Bruno Schultz was also a frequent visitor "U Atlasa".
I am providing a link for the readers who would like to know more about Lwow's "kneipen":

I am sure Lviv will regain its old shine step by step and it will be like Cracow, Prague, Budapest, Wroclaw. I am sure people of Lviv will appreciate long history of their city and they will even find pleasure in rediscovering it. I realize that time is needed to create that feeling of historical continuity and a few generations need to pass until Lviv inhabitants are able to say: it is my city, I feel its spirit, I am ready embrace whole history of it.

Come on, guys, I found in historian books great coffee recipe of Polish Cream! Ukrainians on Halych drank it since 1919 till 1945.

Take 1/3 of Polish coffee.
Take 1/3 of blood of 70 000 imprisoned Ukrainian soldiers.
Take 1/3 of tears of Ukrainian kids who were dying because their parents lost all lands.

Mix together, put on top some milk cream with fake words about so called "friendship". Drink it and then call to reanimation.

Vasyl, since you put the picture of UPA soldiers to your signature it will be interesting for you to read about Polish repressions against OUN and about details of first Stephan Bandera arrest. It will open your eyes wider then any kind of coffee.

For all members it will be interesting to read about so called "pacifications", mass repressions against peasants which were implemented by Poles in Halych much earlier then by Germans, yet in 1930. Just see the photo of article in attachment. I even put the arrows in the most dramatic places of Taras Hunchak article "Ukrainian Lands Under Polish Occupation".

Special translation for English speakers:

"For Poles the sabotage actions of OUN became the occasion for mass repressions against Ukrainians. The peak of repressions was so called "pacification" (conciliation) which has been begun in September, 1930. The police detachments and military troops went from village to village, they destroyed the property of Ukrainian cooperatives, hit Ukrainian peasants, made mass arrests of civilians and priests. As result of these numerous punitive expeditions the entire Eastern Halych was completely devastated".
