  • Kyiv, Ukraine: the City of Domes and Demons from the Collapse Of
    Roman Adrian Roman Cybriwsky Kyiv, Ukraine is a pioneering case study of urban change from socialism to the hard edge of a market economy after the Soviet collapse. It looks in detail at the changing social geography of the city, and on critical problems such as corruption, social inequality, sex tourism, and destruction of historical ambience by greedy developers. The book is based on fieldwork and an insider’s knowledge of the city, and is engagingly written. Roman Adrian Cybriwsky is Professor of Geography and Urban Studies at Temple University in Philadelphia, USA, and former Ukraine Kyiv, Fulbright Scholar at the National University of Kyiv Mohyla Academy. He divides his time between Philadelphia, Kyiv, and Tokyo, about which he has also written books. “Roman Cybriwsky knows this city and its people, speaks their language, feels their frustrations with its opportunist and corrupt post-Soviet public figures Roman Adrian Cybriwsky who have bankrupted this land morally and economically. He has produced a rich urban ethnography stoked by embers of authorial rage.” — John Charles Western, Professor of Geography, Syracuse University, USA “Kyiv, Ukraine is an interdisciplinary tour de force: a scholarly book that is Kyiv, Ukraine also an anthropological and sociological study of Kyivites, a guide to Kyiv and its society, politics, and culture, and a journalistic investigation of the city’s darkest secrets. At this time of crisis in Ukraine, the book is indispensable.” — Alexander Motyl, Professor of Political Science, Rutgers University, USA The City of Domes and Demons “Filled with personal observations by a highly trained and intelligent urbanist, Kyiv, Ukraine is a beautiful and powerful work that reveals from the Collapse of Socialism profound truths about a city we all need to know better.” — Blair A.

N°55 www.inyourpocket.com 2 FOREWORD Following the government’s decision on 21 November, 2013 to stop European Union integration by rejecting an association agreement, a series of mass protests has swept across Ukraine. 2,000 protesters gathered at Maidan Nezalezhnosti and began to organize themselves. A larger rally took place on 24 November, when 100,000 to 200,000 people gathered on Maidan. The pro-EU demonstrators carrying Ukrainian and EU flags chanted “Ukraine is Europe” and sang the national anthem as they marched toward European Square for the rally. On the night of 30 November 2013 at 4a.m. around 300 students and other protesters who remained were brutally attacked by the Berkut - a special police unit - who were armed with batons, stun gre- nades, and tear gas. They dispersed all protesters from Maidan Nezalezhnosti while suppressing mobile phone communications. By 1p.m.another meeting was gathering, with tens of thousands of Kyiv residents coming out to protest against the violence. On 1 December, about 200,000 came to Independence Square (Maidan Nezalezhnosti) to demonstrate for their rights and freedom. Since then, there have been daily demonstra- tions with the protesters committed to continue as long as needed, until their demands are fulfilled. Many foreigners have been drawn to Kyiv’s pro-European rallies in admiration for the spirited people power that has been on display and capturing world headlines.

  • The City Where It All Begins
    THE CITY WHERE IT ALL BEGINS KYIV ANNUAL REPORT 2020 2 ТРАНСПОРТ ТА МІСЬКА МОБІЛЬНІСТЬ KYIV WE LIKE “We love Kyiv and together we are making it a city where one wants to live and work, study and have an interesting holiday, where one can be proud to invite guests.” V. Klitschko INTRODUCTORY SPEECH BY THE MAYOR OF KYIV 3 Dear friends! The year 2020 has been a year of tests of strength for us. The coronavirus pandemic has changed the lives of Kyiv residents, Ukrainians, nations and people all over the world. It has been a year of tough decisions for the capital’s authorities and of superhuman effort for our doctors in the fight for the lives and health of Kyiv residents. In 2020, Kyiv learnt to live under severe quarantine for the first time in several decades. And I am sincerely grateful to the people of Kyiv for understanding the need for such measures and complying with anti-epidemic requirements. Unfortunately, Kyiv confronted the pandemic virtually on its own. The capital’s public health institutions were provided with everything necessary for both individual protection of medical personnel and treatment of patients at the municipal expense. We have also introduced a municipal allowance for medics and increased salaries for social workers whose workload increased during the quarantine. In total, 386 million UAH have been allocated from the city budget for the fight against coronavirus in 2020. And more than 1 billion UAH for additional payments to our healthcare staff.
