Aristocratic city tour
I would like to invite all the Kyiv city guests to my author’s excursion “Aristocratic city tour”. During the tour you will enjoy the calm hidden streets of the busy metropolis , the absolutely stunning architecture, and the unique personal stories of noble citizens of Kyiv of that time like the secret of Chanel 5 perfume and the story of the constitution that had been created before the American and French were. We will be walking around, having local coffee ( in the best hidden places ). One thing I can tell you for sure and everyone will be in love with the city after this tour. You will feel the city’s energy and dive into its secrets.
Vanishing Beauty of Soviet Modernism
Around the globe, the post-second-world-war years were a period of optimism and extreme experimentation. Ukraine wasn't an exception. That was the time when usually dull and grey Soviet architecture started to get more expressive forms, when local architects were attempting to transform the city into the environment for materialization of artistic thinking – in contrast to the strict unification of city space by typical construction and residential blocks. Abraham Miletskyj, Edward Bilsky, Florian Yuriyev - here are just a few names of the creators of the era whose names are known in the architectural world, and whose works still can be found in the city. And the works remain in the global architectural heritage and attract visitors from throughout the world. Today the buildings are often neglected, so there are chances that they will disappear in 10 or so years. So hurry up to see them and learn more about Ukrainian modernism and brutalism in architecture, as well as about history of the country of the time. Here are some of the objects we will visit: - Hotel 'Salut' - Ex-Pioneers' Palace - House of Furniture - Kyiv's Crematorium - Campus of Radiophysics Faculty - VDNG All they are situated in different parts of the city, so we will move between them by car. ATTN! Some objects may be unavailable on the day of the tour - and replaced with others, not less interesting.
