After week of bad weather, blizzards, snow-storms, frosts
and other natural disorders the spring returned to Ukraine, at last. Life
starts changing for the better. Today, on April 1, arrival of spring is noted
by unplanned post issue under the name "Flora of Ukraine in Painting
Works". A block of 2 values declared in the program 2010 represents the spring
flowering of fruits of a guilder-rose and a honeysuckle. The authors of the
project are well known Ukrainian artists brothers Alexander and Sergey Haruk.
Today on solemn presentation of post issue the management
and editors of the state enterprise "Ukrposhta" made public apologies
to brothers Haruk and to all other Ukrainian artists who at different times
cooperated with the Ukrainian mail. Functionaries are expressed sincere
repentance of the ungrateful and disrespectful relation to masters of the fine
arts and are oath promised voluntary to replace a work place. P.S. This event couldn't take place in one other day, except
as on April 1. P.S.S. "Poisson d'Avril" in a literal translation from French
is meant "An April fish".
