On November 27 Yulia Tymoshenko celebrated her 48th birthday. “There will be no official celebration – no parties, no official greetings, no information for press”, a source from Tymoshenko’s entourage disclosed to Segodnya daily. Prime Minister’s aunt Antonina Ulyakhina unveiled a surprising information about whereabouts of her niece on this day. “She will be neither in Kyiv, nor in Dnipropetrovsk, nor in Moscow, nor even on Sardinia”, A.Ulyakhina said.
As for presents, a close Tymoshenko’s ally Andriy Portnov said he will present her a bunch of red roses.
The same present was chosen by Party of Regions MP Vassyl Horbal: “I sympathize with attempts of Yulia Volodymyrivna to overcome crisis in our economics, though the result is a directly opposite. Nevertheless, I want her to be happy”, he said.
BYuT MP Serhiy Teryokhin will present Yulia Tymoshenko… a new anti-crisis legislation at 168 pages. “I think I will do that next Tuesday. The draft legislation is connected with the real sector of economics – metallurgy, mines, chemical industry, machine-building, etc.”
Political scientist Vadym Karasyov, the most “ardent” opponent of her political force, has intent to present Yulia Volodymyrivna a book of Pushkin’s “Queen of Spades” poem and a CD with a Chaykovskiy’s opera of the same name.
Interior Minister of Ukraine Yuri Lutsenko will present the Prime Minister “Bird of Happiness”, a sculpture by famous Kyiv artist Volodymyr Mykytenko. It is a bronze crow 33 cm high, with a gilded beak. The Minister did not disclose how much he paid for the bird.
