How well do you know the areas of the capital
Kyiv – It is not only Sophia Cathedral, Khreshchatyk and Reitarskaya. These are also ravine, Afanasovskaya beam, water supply, DVRZ, Batiev Gora and Chokolivka.
Here, every slope has a long history, and the pavement is not only brown in chestnut, but also by mysteries.
Since 2001, the capital has been officially divided into 10 districts, each of which has a special past – from ancient Slobids and tracts to working quarters.
On the right bank were Obolonsky, Podilsky, Shevchenkivskyi, Pechersky, Svyatoshinsky, Solomenskyi and Holosiivskyi districts.
And on the left bank – Darnytsky, Desnyansky and Dniprovsky (yes, we do not recognize the joke that « the left shore is not Kiev »).
To Kiev Day « Up. Life » prepared a test with interests about different parts of the capital together with Alexander Mikhailik – Kyiv -expert and leading librarian of the Central Library of the Solomyanka named after Grigory Skovoroda.
