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 house where Lesya Ukrainka lived

Route

In 1907, the prominent Ukrainian poet Lesya Ukrainka (Larysa Kosach-Kvitka) lived in a house at Yaroslaviv Val Street.

That year became especially important in her personal life: on July 25, 1907, she married Klyment Kvitka — a musicologist, folklorist, and researcher of Ukrainian folk songs.

The couple was married at the Church of the Ascension of the Lord in Kyiv and later lived for some time in this very house.

These few months on Yaroslaviv Val became a quiet yet significant chapter in Lesya Ukrainka’s life, linking her creative path with an important personal milestone and once again inscribing this Kyiv address into the history of Ukrainian culture.
