A FEW NOTES TO OUR READERS:
Any references to the Kyiv Unedited website, formerly kyivunedited.com.ua, in the foundational Volumes 1-3 of The Kyiv Commix, and especially in the Commix Annex submenu of Volume 3, are to the original Kyiv-based website, which existed from early 2013 to early 2018.
Also, in the present, reconstructed Kyiv Unedited website, the “Previous” and “Next” links at the bottom of each post in Volumes 1-3, as well as in Commix Annex, WORK IN REVERSE! That is, the “Previous” link will get you to the next post, while the “Next” link will get you to the previous post.
The “Previous” and “Next” links WORK IN THE CORRECT ORDER with all new postings in Volume 4 and its New Frames Only submenu.
Also, with the exception of The Latest Posts board on this (HQ) page, if you prefer to open any story or title item throughout this website in a new tab, you can do so by clicking on the “Read more” link at the end of each story excerpt or item excerpt.
