A Kiwi in Kiev
Hope you've not moved on yet.
Theres the Great Gate of Kiev (But no Emmerson Lake and Palmer, or Russian music.)
There's the huge outdoor museum to the Great Patriotic War. A collection of aircraft, including an early Ilysion that looks remarkably like a Dakota DC3.(Look for the giant statue in stainless steel overlooking the river. The museum is around the base of it.)
There are the cathedrals, Particularly St Sofia (Green and gold) about 1000 years old and I think Mikoliev (Blue and Gold,) about 9 years old.Rebuilt since the fall of Communism.
Loads of stuff.
Enjoy chicken Kiev , borcht and salo. as well as the national beverage.
Best wishes.
