About the project

Kyiv is an open and inclusive city that welcomes everyone who comes here, regardless of origin, language or history. It is a big home where everyone can find their place: a native, a migrant, a guest from abroad or a tourist. There is no division here into “their own” and “strangers” – the city creates a space for equal opportunities, support and mutual respect.

The capital of Ukraine stands as the heart of the country and a symbol of unity, combining ancient history and modern meanings. It offers not only architecture and culture, but also a special atmosphere of mutual care, shelter and new beginnings. “The city of everyone” is Kyiv, where you can feel at home even when you come here for the first time, and which always remains a part of the life of those who have touched its rhythm at least once.

The National Reserve “Sophia of Kyiv” is one of the most significant cultural and historical complexes of Ukraine, founded in 1934. Systematic research and restoration of the St. Sophia Cathedral began in the 1920s, and in 1990 the cathedral with a complex of 18th-century monastery buildings was included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. The institution received the status of a national reserve in 1994.

The reserve includes the St. Andrew’s and St. Cyril’s churches, the ruins of the 11th-century Golden Gates, and the fund collections number over 80 thousand items of storage – from archaeological materials to architectural projects of different eras. In 1987, the reserve was awarded the European Gold Medal of the Hamburg Foundation for the preservation of historical monuments, and now it is actively engaged in restoration, scientific and educational activities.
