do in Kyiv, this tour organized by Interesniy Kiev, a young enthusiastic group of Kyivites, is for you.
the Secret Tunnel tour will explore the mystery surrounding the construction of the famous "Object #1," aka two railway tunnels under the Dnieper River, construction of which was started with Stalin's order in the 1930s-1940s.
The tunnels were supposed to assure communication between the opposite banks of the river in case surface communications were damaged by air attacks. The supervision of the construction project was entrusted to the First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party - Khrushchev, who prior to this project was in charge of the Moscow metro. This was the most secret and ambitious construction project during the Soviet times in Kyiv. The history of events, that could not be hidden are covered with many myths, guesses and conjectures.
This is English speaking tour. the tour fee is UAH 100 ($20), which includes bus transportation, guide services, lunch box, snacks and drinks on the bus). you definately should register beforehand.

You know Goethe but never heard of Bulgakov? They have much in common. The great Ukrainian novelist Mykhail Bulgakov (1891-1940) grew up on Andrievskij Uzviz (in Russian: Andrievskij Spusk), and set his Civil War novel 'The White Guard' on it. Yet he became world-famous with his surrealistic novel "The Master and Margarita" that takes place in Moscow casting a light on the weird life during the early Soviet era and the contradictions of the Stalin times.

Arriving in Kiev from the west by train will be around midnight (according to current schedules). Your friends will pick you up and you will most probably not see too much of this impressive station. Only when you leave or go elsewhere in the country, this may evoke your attention.

Trypillya civilization has been discovered by the archaeologist Vikentiy Khvoika in 1897. it has flourished on the territory of Ukraine between 7,500-4,750 BC. Some scientists, including Khvoika, believed that Trypillians were ancestors of all Slavs, others that they there migratory Arrata tribes.
Trypillians settled along rivers, including the Dnipro midstream. They were traditional tribal agrarian culture. The Trypillia people, in addition to farming and animal breeding, knew metalworking, weaving and pottery. The civilization has produced a complicated symbol language, which was reflected on their pottery.
The similar artifacts have been discovered in Cucuteni in Moldova and Rumania, so the culture is often called Cucuteni-Trypillia culture after the towns where finds were first excavated.

On my last trip a local friend of mine wanted to show me her favourite place. A place to find tranquility and ease of mind.
You may ask me, why do you seek these places, why don?t you want to party and have some fun? - Well, I can tell you, I have lots of fun usually and I like to stroll the streets and visit restaurants and pubs. But there is some time when you should accept that you must cool down in order to regain your balance. Some people use to practise Yoga or Thai-Chi, some simply read a good book and others walk a forest and listen to the birds sing.
