Anne Applebaum: Ukraine’s most hopeful city – Lviv
A man punches an effigy of Russian President Vladimir Putin on May 31, 2015 on a street in the western Ukrainian city of Lviv.

I leaned out and looked down: On the street below, two restaurants had occupied a narrow cobblestone passageway. Both were full. I heard clinking glasses, laughter, chatter, the sounds of a thriving city - and further proof, if more were needed, of why so many stereotypes about Ukraine are wrong.
