AIDS Quilt Event in Kyiv, Ukraine (May 13, 2011)

It is my accidental shooting of Kyiv AIDS Quilt Gathering on Mykhailivska Square just in front of St.Michael Cathedral.
For me it's sad how LITTLE truth Ukrainians know about AIDS and how many myths about AIDS float in the heads of Ukrainians and how BIG in reality is AIDS problem in Ukraine and how judgmental my compatriots can be about AIDS victims and oh... the worst... since recently some clergy from famous Pechersk Lavra monastery want to shut the AIDS hospital, which is adjunct to the monastery premises (as the abbot of the monastery put it: it's a hospital for UNHOLY people), throw all patients away and turn the premises into.....maybe another shop for cheap icons and candles...
