Kiev (Ukrainian spelling Kyiv) is the capital of Ukraine and the largest city of the country. It is the 6th largest city of Europe after Moscow, London, Saint Petersburg, Berlin and Madrid. Kiev is located along the Dnepr River just below its confluence with the Desna River.
Because of its historical importance as the center of Kievan Rus from the 9th to 12th century the city is still called “The Mother of Russian cities”. The following pictures of night Kiev were taken from the tallest buildings of the city by Oleg Stelmakh.
