People were bandying around words like "martial law" and "civil war", and the future was unclear and scary.<br />
<div>
<br />
<div>
Peace Corps told us to pack a go-bag and be at our "consolidation points" within 24 hours. When we left our towns, we realized there was a possibility we might not come back, but we didn't exactly believe it. I hand-packed my bag in a state of mental disarray, littering my small apartment with little piles of books and trinkets topped with scrawled Post-It Notes: "For Katia", "For Roman", "For the English Teachers of School Number 2". I washed my dishes and I collected my garbage- though I was too agitated to remember to actually<i> take out </i>the garbage- it was left abandoned by the closet.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I got to visit my school a last time before I had to get to the bus station. I wished students, teachers, and friends an awkward mixture of goodbyes and assurances that this was probably not goodbye for good (but i don't know anything, i said). Reactions varied from mumbled half-recogntion, attentions directed to the glowing screens of i-phones, to heartfelt tears and embraces. But most adults dismissed the possibility of evacuation. "Yanukovych will be impeached! The protesters got what they want! The fighting will end."</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Sure enough, we got the order to be at Odessa airport on the afternoon of Saturday the 21 and we were in a plush Maryland Convention Center shortly thereafter. We are still on "administrative hold" in the USA, receiving thirty-two dollars a day from the U.S. government, with the option still open that Peace Corps sends us back. We all have our fingers crossed, but that possibility is looking slimmer in the face of ongoing threats from Russia. We miss our Ukrainian friends a lot.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I managed to take a few photos on that last short visit to school. Pictured are my students, cooks, custodians, and a little dog that a clever tenth former calls "Napoleon". The custodians (his primary caretakers) affectionately call him "hoo-ey", a swear word for penis. By any name, he is very cute.</div>

<br />
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
The bus to Novoarkhanhelsk
from Uman was 40 minutes late. Most everyone came inside the station,
where it was warm. There were dour faces behind the ticket windows,
glaring lights, a couple in the corner, their limbs entwined. I was
across from a woman with a delicate jawline and slightly crossed-eyes
and I could think of nothing but her going down on me.</div>
<br />
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
I had only slept a few
hours the previous night and felt strange. I could feel my pulse. My
eyes buzzed around the woman like a restless fly.</div>
<br />
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Someone mumbled something,
and everyone rushed out the doors. I walked behind the woman. Her
leather jacket clung tight to her torso and I wanted to ask her if
she'd like help with her suitcase but I was too much of a coward.</div>
<br />
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
The bus was waiting in the
lot. There was a big crack on the left side of the windshield. The
bus was already crammed with people and their was a crowd collected
near the open door. The driver came out and started moving people's
bags into the hold. He had an ironic smile that suggested his day had
been long and absurd.</div>
<br />
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
The woman in the leather
jacket showed her receipt, climbed the steps, and vanished in the
mass of people at the back of the bus. I stood with the crowd
outside- I didn't have a ticket. I never buy tickets at the desk, I
just pay the driver when I get on.</div>
<br />
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
The driver got in his seat
and we all filed in- I was one of the last. Everyone was standing,
pressed up against eachother. I was pushed near the driver with a
middle-aged woman. They were talking. I couldn't tell if they knew
eachother, or if the driver just had a very familiar way of speaking.
</div>
<br />
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
It was very dark on the bus
and it was hard to move my arms, but I managed to fish out the twenty
hreven for the fare. Another passenger and I pushed our bills toward
the driver, but he just smiled and waved our hands away. “It's
dark. I don't even know that you are on this bus.”
</div>
<br />
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
We drove. I liked the quiet
rumble of the driver's voice. It put me at ease to listen to it. I
would understand snatches, but mostly it was sound. There was a
bobble-head dog on the dashboard- its motion was calm and steady.
These are bumpy roads, but the driver took them smooth.</div>
<br />
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
I had my back to the door.
All the passengers were just lumps and shadows until some light from
outside would illuminate a piece of a face. I searched for the
leather jacket woman but could not find her.</div>
<br />
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
The driver's hand hung out
the window with a cigarette. He just wore a thin shirt and kept the
heat very high. I was hot inside my coat and sweater, but it was not
unpleasant, with the soft tones of the voices and the people all
quiet and close together. The glimpses of faces I saw seemed calm,
unconcerned about what time they would get home. There were even some
sleepy smiles. It was the kind of quiet that happens when you are
tired with someone you love.</div>
<br />
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
The woman asked the driver
if she could set her purse up on the dashboard. The driver turned
with a grin and said, of course not- the dashboard is for the dog.
The woman shook her head, let out a long smoky sigh, and put her
purse somewhere else. The dog bobbled away, unmolested, until the end
of the route.</div>

This is Liuba. She has big glasses and
a tired, but kind face. She sits in this nook in the school's main
hall, selling boulytchky, sweet buns, from morning til noon. They are
delicious, and for me, an essential morning ritual. As I sink my
teeth into the soft white interior, I feel myself gaining strength
for the coming battle against the seventh grade.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
You can get your boulytchky filled
with apple jam, cinnamon, or poppy seeds. I used to favor cinnamon,
but over the past few months have switched to poppy seeds “mak” -
a scrumptious dusting of sweet black grains.

I love the way the order rolls of the
tongue, “Odyn boulytchky, z makom.”

Sometimes you can see some kid
standing in front of the table, his face scrunched up in pathetic
supplication. He doesn't have the two hrevens today, but he'll bring
it tomorrow- he promises. But he already owes two hrevens and fifty
kopecks, Liuba reminds him. No, no, he already paid that- yesterday,
remember? Liuba shakes her head. Lies.</div>

Every school I have visited in Ukraine
has a boulytchky lady. Other government institutions also employ one,
patiently sitting at a table with a cardboard box, day after day.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
I talked to some of my school's
workmen about boulytchky and they said that today's boulytchky
can't compare with those from the Soviet Union days. There used to
be a big centralized factory in my area, that manufactured bread and
buns for a large part of the country. These factories had good
ingredients, equipment, and know-how, and the result was very high
quality product. Ivan, a workman with the lovably wrinkly face of a
Shar Pei, used to work transporting the bread from factory to town to
town.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
After Perestroika, the big factory
lost its prominence, Ivan lost his job, and the responsibility of
bread production went to many smaller factories, spread out across
the region. There was less money and organization, hence the inferior
quality of the bread.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
It is hard for me to know if this is
accurate, or distorted by old mens' nostalgia. We would need to do a
blind taste-test, which is not possible. But Ivan, Igor, and Roman,
admittedly a little drunk, reminisced about the bread and boulytchky
of yesterday for almost half an hour, with passion and pathos that
took me completely by surprise.</div>

<br />
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
It was Sunday morning and I was on my
way back home from the post office. I’d been trying to withdraw
money from the ATM there, but I’d forgotten the PIN on the new card
(a replacement for the one I’d just lost) and ended up accidentally
locking my account. I was pissed.</div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
I saw Anatoliy rolling on the sidewalk
ahead. I didn’t really want to talk to him because my Ukrainian
deteriorates when I am stressed, but he was on my only route home,
moving slowly, as he always does.</div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Anatoliy is a handicapped man in his
fifties or sixties. You can see him almost every day around the town
center, selling coffee and tea in flimsy plastic cups. Sometimes he
sells very sweet compote that his wife makes too.</div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Everybody knows Anatoliy because he is
very friendly. For my first few months in Novoarkhanhelsk, he
absolutely refused to let me pay him the couple of hreven for my
coffee. His English is very limited, but he uses it to the best of
his ability, experimentally throwing in English words and phrases
when he can. He treats me not as a foreign curiosity, but as a
friend, and always seems concerned about my well-being.
</div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
We said hello. Anatoliy smiled and
asked if I wanted any coffee. I said I did. While he filled my little
plastic cup, he asked me how I was doing. I complained about having
lost my bank code, and lamented the disorganization of my mind.
Anatoliy told me not to worry too much. It would work itself out.</div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
I asked him how his family was doing.
He paused for a moment, his countenance changed. He said a word I
didn’t know. He searched for synonyms until he found one I knew-
“bida”, trouble.</div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
His son had died at the age of 37.
</div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
A little while ago, on my way to
school, I’d come across a procession. There was a drone of mournful
brass, men in suits carrying a coffin, women following, sobbing and
moaning. Someone carried a plaque on a pole with the face of a man
who was too young to die.</div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
I told Anatoliy I thought I‘d seen
his son’s funeral. Anatoliy shook his head- that was somebody
else’s son. His son had died in the Donbass region.</div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
He had no children, but he had a wife.
He’d died of heart failure. At this point, I stopped understanding
everything that Anatoliy said, but he kept talking about the way his
son had been raised and shaking his head. He said something about
alcohol. He repeated several times, “It just wasn’t right.” I
concluded that he partly blamed himself for his son’s death, but I
may have misunderstood completely.</div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
I put my hand on Anatoliy’s thick
coat and I told him that I did not know what to say or how to say it,
but that my heart was with him. He thanked me and we were silent for
a moment. He looked down the road like he was about to say goodbye.</div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
I realized I had not paid Anatoliy for
the coffee and I felt awkward. I counted the money in my pocket and
mumbled something, trying to hand him the bills. Anatoliy looked at
me sternly and shook his head. He would not accept the money. He
asked me to drink the coffee in honor of his dead son.</div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Anatoliy said goodbye and started to
roll across the street. It was one of the wider streets in
Novoarkhanhelsk, two broad lanes. He was going towards the grocery
store. I stayed on the sidewalk for a little while, watching him get
to the other side, drinking the instant coffee in the plastic cup
that he had given me.</div>

We were hanging outside a convenience store in Donetsk and this old guy approached and noticed a green balloon. He kicked it. The balloon bounced. The man casually but persistently kicked this balloon around. When the wind would blow the balloon across the street, the old guy would follow and bring it back. When it got trapped behind a trash can, he gently pried it out with his foot. For 15 minutes, we stood and watched. Then the man turned towards the street like there was something he needed to do, and continued on his way. </div>

In Lviv, we were drinking hot chocolate, and we heard a big bang and saw green smoke around the corner. Patricia guarded our bags while Kyla and I went to investigate. In a central square, there were people chanting and holding long heavy flags horizontally, like 2x4s, over their heads. Other green and white flags shot out from the crowd or out of apartment windows. Someone told us it was a football rally. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Our friend Peter was there. He noticed some red and black flags waving with the rest- that wasn't a football team, but the flag of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists, a group that fought for Ukrainian independence during World War II but was also implicated in some nasty instances of ethnic cleansing.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Smoke bombs dropped and everyone ran for cover. They played the team from Kharkiv and I'm pretty sure they won, but I don't remember exactly.</div>
