I used to walk around the concourse at Lobanovsky Dynamo Stadium during Dynamo Kyiv soccer games thinking about how lucky I was to be doing my initial journalism internship in a country on the brink of revolution.

Here’s a shot of the import beer section. There used to be just about nothing in the way of good beer here, but now we are getting [...]
