    This fortified wall, defining the limits of the city and serving as a protective barriere from invaders in the centures past dates back to 1037, the reign of Prince Yaroslave the Wise. The place was restored to its presend condition in 1983 and now serves as a Golden Gate historical museum. The structure is located in downtown Kyiv, just outside the Zoloti Vorota metro station.

    I am absolutely against violance and war, so I coundn't decide to publish that page for a long time. But on the other hand, it's is a part of the history, and we can't abnegate what happened. So, finally I also will publish a page with some of technical stuff which were used to gain freedom (or unfortunately too often to gain more territory or more might and power)

    In Kyiv I also visited the Museum of History of The Great Patriotic War (World War II). It is located south of Kiev Pecherska Lavra Monastery, close to the Dnepr River and you can find it easily if you orientate to Rodina Mat. That Motherland Monument you can see from quite many places, especially if you are in a southeast area from Kyiv.

    October celebrities

    7 November of 1971. Kiev celebrated the holiday of October Revolution. Every year parades were held with many people, flags, songs, music. But as I know from stories of people who took a part in this, all celebrations were under pressure and directors on factories had instructions to make employees to go to parades. They didn’t have a choice or they could get a punishments, but from the other hand they had lots of fun after parades, because this day was a day off.

    My mom wearing light coat. That was 70's fashion ;-)

    The pedestrian bridge joined the city center with Trukhanov Iseland. The Iseland is situated in the middle of Dnepr River and it is a natural place for spending time here as walking or swimming in summer times. The bridge begins from Khreshaty Park. There are some nice views you can see if you will be looking around while are going by the bridge.

    Passage was designed in 1913-14, as a trade-apartment complex where grand floors were rented to merchants, upper ones to tenants or offices. Two 5-storey buildings (one slightly curved to get more space and appartments) are joined by two arches built after IIWW.

    Today Passage continues serving its original purpose. It’s a street of posh designer shops, trendy restaurants and coffee shops, and VERY expensive apartments.

    As you walk, pay attention on the façade decorations: “portraits” of Greek gods on the grey-metallic facade surface, flying torches on the arches. I especially like a bas-relief where boys are trying to get a lion drunk and of course a recent addition - the monument to Gorodetsky.

  • Address: 15 Khreshchatyk St.
  • Directions: second street to the left off Khreshchatyk (look for Double Coffee sign)

    Dnepr River
    by socrates_07
    Send Photo to a Friend
    The Dnepr (Dnipr) River, the third-longest river in Europe, is located in western Russia and Ukraine. It is 2,290 km (1,420 mi) long, from its source in the Valdai Hills west of Moscow to its swampy, delta mouth at the Black Sea. Its course takes it generally south and west past Smolensk, Kiev, Dnepropetrovsk, and Kherson. Draining a basin that covers 518,000 sq km (200,000 sq mi), the main tributaries of the Dnepr include the Berezina, Pripyat, Sozh, Ingulets, and Desna rivers. Dredging and damming have made almost the entire river navigable for the nine months of the year when it is not frozen. The Dnepr carries heavy freight and is an important source of hydroelectric power.

    In the end of Khreschatik Street you may see Bessarabsky Market that was built in 1908-1912 by Gai and Bobrusov architects. The name of the market is related with Moldovian people who smade sales here till the building was built. Although now, it seems, the next building of the area is more well-known where on the most popular Arena night club is.

    The Funicular

    The Funicular (cable car) was built in 1905 and until now it offers quick, exciting and inexpensive rides from Podil (Lower Kiev) up to Mykhailivska Ploscha (Upper Kiev). The ride is short (about 2 minutes) but it is worth seeing a magnificent panorama of Kiev and the Dnepro River that uncovers from the Funicular. The cost is the same as the fares in city transport except Sundays, when the ride is free.
