About the Blog

Being a Ukrainian, I am pleased to know that my country is rich with talented people. It’s pity that a lot of talented people of Ukrainian origin are not widely known in the world or thought to be Russians due to associating Ukraine with Russia as Ukraine used to be a part of the Russian Empire and then USSR. However there have been quite a few Ukrainian people whose talent, knowledge and skills left a noticeable mark in world’s science, art, medicine etc. The list of talented people of Ukrainian origin ranges from Mykola Leontovych who composed one of the world’s most popular Christmas song – Carol of the Bells – to the designer of the first effective space rocket Sergey Korolyov and Igor Sikorsky – inventor of the first viable American helicopter which rotor design is used by most today’s helicopters (click here to learn more about famous Ukrainians).

The “Ukraine’s Got Talent” (Ukraina maye Talant) show debuted on 3 April 2009 on STB television channel. Although the performers featured in the “Ukraine’s Got Talent” series are amateurs and far from being in the same league as the talents mentioned by me in the opening paragraph, I feel quite pleased to watch amazing acts performed by talented people from Ukraine as well as some of those who came to Ukraine from other former Soviet republics to show their talents and find their opportunities in this country.

In this blog I going to collect the best performances form the “Ukraine’s Got Talent” episodes. Those will be acts which I personally love and which passed the auditions in large Ukrainian cities. I hope you will enjoy this blog.

Ukraine’s Got Talent is one of my favorite TV shows
