Lviv is my Inspiration!
Issue 1, May 2008.
Thanks to her 2004 Eurovision Song Contest victory Ruslana
is probably the most famous Ukrainian recording artist in the
world, with a fan base in all five continents and regular concert
tours throughout Europe, Asia and North America. However,
despite the excitement of international fame, she remains a
patriotic Lvivyanka at heart who is passionate about her native
town and says she is inspired by Ukraine’s most quintessentially
European city. She believes that Lviv’s long historical association
with the changing tides of Central European empires
has helped create a uniquely European mentality among the
people of the city, and says that as a result of growing up in
the West Ukrainian capital she now feels at home pretty much
anywhere she travels throughout Eastern Europe.
