History and profile

The Ukrainian Week is published in Ukraine by ECEM Media Ukraine GmbH (Austria), and was established in November 2007. The magazine is one of several Ukrainian language magazines that have appeared in Ukraine in the wake of the Orange Revolution. The English edition of The Ukrainian Week is published bi-monthly and contains a selection of articles deemed to be of most interest to non-Ukrainian readers. In 2012, it published its statement accusing the state powers and major media-holdings de facto monopolizing the market, of harassment.
