  • A lot has been said and written of late about air pollution resulting from traffic.
    The number of cars in Kiev has reached one million, which means every third resident of Kiev drives a car. Besides, there is cargo transport, transit transport and guests of Kiev coming to the capital by their own cars...
    Carbon dioxide concentration in the air exceeds all possible/existing norms by several times.
    Here are the places in the capital where the air cleanliness situation leaves much to be desired.
    Bessarabia Square and Obolon Abenue are the most polluted places as far as the air is concerned.
    Popudrenko Street (Chernihiv Metro station),
    Lesia Ukrainka Boulevard,
    Victory Avenue (Sviatoshin Metro station)
    and Skliarenko Street

    are among the worst ecological areas in Kiev.
    All this situation results from air pollution caused by traffic.
    What about industrial pollution?...
    Better not to think of it and enjoy one's stay instead!

  • I think it's better to avoid drinking the municipal water whose quality leaves much to be desired.
    Why not buy mineral water at a store.
    There is a big variety of Ukrainian mineral water on sale.

    Warnings Or Dangers: Attracting Street Lottery?

  • I plead you not to take part in any "street lottery"!
    – No chance for you, no matter how attractive the "lottery" might seem to you.
    :-)
    They say the day’s income of the "showmen" of the local lottery-making/fooling in Kiev makes up from 2 to 5 thousand dollars.
    So why invest into this ruthless "shadow economy"?

     Hunter..Do you know of two old family estates owned by Lopukhin and Davidoff families called Kamenka and Matussov in Kiev region . I have a book with beautiful paintings of these places and I would love to know where they are on the map.
