April/May Issue of The Ryder

There are still a few hours of our April/May issue is on the stands. If you cannot find a copy in your favorite local restaurant, you can click on the cover image above to read the issue on your laptop.

This issue of The Ryder is dedicated to Ukraine and the ongoing fight for democracy, freedom, and humanity. It features a collection of stories about the history, culture and people of Ukraine, beginning with a profile of Volodymyr Zelensky and his unlikely rise from TV sitcom star to the “people's president.” An interview follows with a married couple in hiding in Kharkiv, Ukraine while shelling occurs outside their home; then a second interview with a refugee relief organization that is working to provide aid for Ukrainians seeking safety in Moldova and Romania.

There’s more. A historian writes about the years of conflict between Russia and Ukraine, while a translator breaks down the lyrics of “Ukrainian Fury.” There are also profiles of a new cast of “super folk heroes” who are supplying hope to Ukraine; and lastly, reflections from a traveler who found love and jazz in the streets of Ukraine.

Special thanks to Iryna Stasiuk, whose illustrations enhance these stories, as well as to all of the writers contributed to this section.

Slava Ukraini! Glory to Ukraine!

A reminder: The Ryder is distributed free of charge and supported in part by advertising.
