Kyiv Faces the Future

Kyiv Faces the Future
Kyiv, called the mother of Russian cities, was the center of culture to which Russians, Belarusians, and Ukrainians trace their roots. It has survived destruction by Mongols, conquest by Poles and Lithuanians, and occupation by Nazis. Today, with its airport, river port, and road and rail links, Kyiv is the hub as well as the capital of Ukraine.
