I love my Kyiv so much🥰

This year Kyiv turned 1540 years old!

Kyiv (not Kiev!) is a place where the rhythm of history meets a modern urban vibe!
The Ukrainian capital is a modern city, home to hundreds of successful startups, cultural events, and cool venues to meet your every need! And when the sun goes down — rich nightlife gets started! In 2013-2014 Kyiv became the center of the Ukrainian Revolution of Dignity. Images of the Maidan made the front pages of media worldwide.

Panorama of Kyiv

Legend states that three brothers, Kyi, Shchek, and Khoryv, and their sister Lybid, founded the city. Kyiv thus takes its name from Kyi, the eldest brother. The exact century of the city's foundation has not been determined. Legend has it that Saint Andrew (d. AD 60/70) prophesied the emergence of a great city on the future location of Kyiv - he was allegedly fascinated by the spectacular location on the hilly shores of the Dnieper River. The town is thought to have existed as early as the 6th century, initially as a Slavic settlement. Gradually acquiring eminence as the center of the East Slavic civilization, Kyiv reached its Golden Age as the center of Kievan Rus' in the 10th–12th centuries.

But now the Russians want to EXTERMINATE my people and me simply by nationality. This is genocide. Genocide - the definition of which I learned at school and did not understand how this could happen. Now, this is my reality. Help Ukrainians in the fight against fascism of the 21st century.
