Kiev
The name Kiev is said to derive from the name of Kyi, one of four legendary founders of the city (brothers Kyi, Shchek, Khoryv, and sister Lybid). During its history, Kiev, one of the oldest cities in Eastern Europe, passed through several stages of great prominence and relative obscurity. The city may have been founded in the 5th century as a trading post, perhaps part of the land of the early Slavs. It gradually acquired eminence as the centre of the East Slavic civilization, becoming in the tenth to twelfth centuries a political and cultural capital of Rus', a medieval East Slavic state.
The area of the green zone is 43,600 hectares making up 168 sq.m per one resident. As the capital of Ukraine, Kiev has major administrative functions, and its ministries employ a considerable number of workers. Kiev is also an important industrial centre, producing a wide range of goods.
Kiev is served by a good transportation network. Trunk railways and all-weather roads link Kiev to Moscow, Kharkiv and the Donets Basin, southern and western Ukraine, and Poland. Within Kiev city itself there is efficient subway, rail, and bus service. The Dnepr River is navigable about nine months of the year, and Kiev's Boryspil airport operates flights to other Ukrainian cities and to cities in Europe, Asia, and North America.
