I am very interested in working in Ukraine. I have previously taught in Poland, which gave me an introduction to Eastern European culture.
However I have come across numerous articles on the web about attacks on foreigners in Kiev and other cities. I am unsure now whether it would be safe for me. If I moved to Kiev/Ukraine, I would like to be able to live without having to watch my back all the time. I am a white male, although of non-slavic slightly jewish appearance. I would like to know anyone else's experiences.

No problems, the "foreign attacks" involved African and a couple of Middle-Eastern people. It is safer than Atlanta or London.

By the way, Ukraine has its own section. Look just below Russia and CIS.
