ABSTRACT
The article discusses Poland's entry into the Schengen zone, which led to the elimination of visa-free travel between Poland and Ukraine. Visa fees rose to 35 euros in Ukraine, where the average monthly salary is 226 euros. In response, Ukrainians have staged protests at the border against what they see as the New Berlin Wall. For thousands of small-time cigarette and vodka shuttle traders, the new visa regime has curbed business.
