Who has invented the cinematograph?

Everybody knows that brothers Auguste and Louis Lumiere were the inventors of the cinema. I don't reduce their merit, but we have to know about Joseph Timchenko, because he invented the cinematograph earlier than famous brothers.
Joseph Timchenko showed people two films: "Galopping horseman" and "Javelin thrower" in 1893 in Odessa (in the hotel "French"). These films were made by Joseph with a kinescope. People didn't know the word "cinema" in those days, that is why in the newspaper "Odessa Leaf" these movie were called "living photos".
Unfortunately, this invention was not patented and then in 1895 the brothers Luimere invented the cinematograph. Later, this invention was patented and Auguste and Louis Lumiere became the inventors of the cinema, but it's not true, because Joseph Timchenko (Ukrainian) invented the cinema earlier.

New Year

As you know, I live in Ukraine, in the country with a lot of traditions, that is why I would like to tell you about our winter celebrations. In winter we have 3 big holidays: New Year, Christmas and New Year by old style.

New Year is the biggest and very important celebration for Ukrainian people.  We begin our celebrations the 31^st of December. As a rule, we meet New Year with family or with the best friends. All of us decorate tree and flat and cook different dishes, such as: salad with crab sticks or Olivier - the most popular salad in Ukraine and cook this dish is the very big tradition. Our people don’t understand how other people can meet New Year without Olivier. Frankly, I don’t like this salad, because I hate canned green peas, which is in the recipe, but my mum always cooks this salad and sometimes forces me, that I eat this beautiful dish. Then we follow old year and wait chiming clock. I very like make a wish during chiming clock. For me it’s beautiful and romantic…. Then we eat dishes, which cook earlier. At last, we see TV (comedies or New Year’s programs or films). As for me, I like watch 3 parts of New Year’s film, which is called: “Home Alone”. It’s my personally tradition. Then we go to the bed. In the morning we go to the tree and we are looking for present, which puts under the tree Did Moroz. And we are very fun…

Like this, Ukrainian people meet New Year!
