Kyiv in the video newsreel of 1994
Newsreels are an incredible opportunity to see familiar places as they were in different years. For example, the cameramen recorded Kyiv and its life in 1994, the third year of Ukraine's independence.
The recording was published on the Telegram channel of the Historical Kyiv community. You can see what the capital was like 30 years ago.
"Kyiv in the video chronicle of 1994. Maidan, Bohdan Khmelnytskyi Street with chestnuts and Kyiv bridges," the post reads.
Back in the 1960s, the embankment near Poshtova Square and the Dnipro cliffs in Kyiv looked a bit different. The beaches on Trukhaniv Island were much larger.
From 1878 until 1944, the City Duma building was located on the site of the current Independence Square in Kyiv. The majestic building resembled a bent horseshoe in its shape, and its roof spire was crowned with a statue of the city's patron saint, St. Michael.
