Why Kyiv?
Kyiv, the mother of Slavic cities.
Kyiv is the capital city of Ukraine, its largest economical, political, educational and cultural centre. Kyiv is often called the mother of Slavic cities. It is more than fifteen centuries old and during this time Kyiv has come a long way from its beginning as an ancient settlement of nomadic tribes to being one of the largest cities in the world. Kyiv is integrally connected to Slavic cultural development. Its monuments, architectural ensembles and cathedrals charm with their beauty, harmony and historical meaningfulness. The sights and attractions of the Ukrainian capital are covered with the spirit of old glorious times.
The name Kyiv is said to derive from the name of Kiy (also Kyi), one of four legendary founders of the city (brothers Kiy, Shchek, Khoryv, and sister Lybid). The legend is widely recognized as a source of Kyiv's mythology and, accordingly, urban naming. Kyiv was founded in the latter half of the 5th, or the early 6th century, and in 1922 its 1,540th anniversary was officially celebrated.
