Is there anyone here who will not eat Roshen candy? I ate some a few months ago and thought it was mighty tasty. I would buy some if it were available here.
I think I've tried some ( my mother sent them to me) but I have no any outstanding memories - none whatsoever. I've read a piece in some publication ( British or American - I don't remember now) on Roshen's candies, how "horrible" the quality of Soviet candies were and how Poroshenko has "figured it all out." ( i.e. how to produce "high quality chocolate candies" comparably to Soviet times.
Total BS. Soviet-made chocolate ( and chocolate candies) were one of the best ( certain brands of them,) - much better than what American Hershey's ever produced, it's just during the last Soviet years their quality went down the tube, apparently ( that's if they could be found in the stores at all.)
Now German-made chocolate is excellent, but as for Roshen candies? Not all that impressive.

I will continue eating Roshen candy, it is about the only candy I eat. Politics aside, Roshen employees many people, someone thinking they are damaging Petro by boycotting is actually damaging the thousands of employees who would lose their jobs.
Where do you live? Roshen candy is available in many places in the US, about every Russian store will have them.
erasure...Just my take once again on this 'hawk' perusing a very dismal state of affairs.
Money yes it's a big thing. But I suggest another calculus in that Russian mind who is minding the store. That aspect is wily maneuver with testing and probing of reactions. All going on to fashion and gauge response to disorder and a move away from say 'normative' situations. What we see now in Ukraine is a slow dismantling of attitudes and behavior that do not help a society function appropriately. It is now being racked from top to bottom.
No wonder the Baltics and some Eastern European countries fear this sequence of events. I'm afraid Mr. Putin's abject land grab has awakened them overnight as to how a scenic view from night to dawn can change in an instant. It can get real cloudy really quick now in the early 21st.
And it will be to history to chime in and note that it was here and now in this time of our century that WWIII had its beginnings due to one nation's illegal swipe of territory. Maybe the Crimea will indeed prove definitively to be Europe's and the world's undoing.

My only experience with Soviet chocolate is after the USSR, but those in the know tell me the ones the ones they say still taste the same (I guess during the quality years) and I agree it is darn good, much better than Hershey's, which is among some of the worse chocolate out there. The packaging itself makes the chocolate a nice gift accessory.
Roshen candy in my opinion is pretty good, they make more than plain chocolate, I like the things with caramel or other flavors in them. There are actually a few companies that make good stuff from Ukraine, Poland, Russia, Lithuanian, and a few others.
In Kostyantynivka wound up tank, which was a monument to World War II.
Yeah, I read now that *the rebels* are using a lot of ammunition from the WWII times. (Apparently that's all Russia supplies them with.)
And it looks like they've taken over the border with Russia in Lugansk region. The Ukrainian Army units keep on leaving the area, with no desire to fight.
Meanwhile, Obama keeps on threatening Putin with the "new economic sanctions."
Peachy.

Most likely the main objective - is to enter NATO forces in Ukraine. A new government continues the military operation instead of negotiating, killing women and children. Most Russians understands this, but a lot of hotheads require that Putin began to assist the Russian-speaking population of Ukraine. For example (russian language):

Well, those sanctions are not working. Hartwall Arena in Helsinki is owned by a filthy rich russian biz man. And a few days ago Aerosmith and Miley Cyrus performed at that arena. And more american stars are booked.
KUDOS to you Maxim Frolov, for saying loud and clear the truth that no western government ant to hear. Women and children (and the elderly and the sick) are killed in the name of "democracy and human rights" again.
There is even talk of humanitarian corridors now.
Murderous, criminal west. As a western european citizen, I feel deeply ashamed of myself for doing nothing against that.
