Jakub Parusinski was recently named Chief Executive Officer of the Kyiv Post, Ukraine's main English-language news outlet. His task is to turn a newspaper into a sustainable and profitable enterprise, a difficult task today in any country, but particularly in Ukraine, which he calls one of the most difficult places to do business. Nevertheless, “Ukraine deserves a chance at a fair, democratic and prosperous future,” he says. “Without a free press, it will never have one.”
