In 1964, the famous French scientist Jacques Dupaquier traveled by car across the then-USSR. One of the cities he visited was Kyiv, and he filmed the center of the Ukrainian capital in color. 

The photo was published on the Telegram channel of the Kyiv Historical community. You can see what the city looked like 60 years ago.

"The center of Kyiv in the photographs of the Frenchman Jacques Dupaquier. 1964," the post reads.

The published photos show Khreshchatyk Street, Independence Square, and the Central Department  Store building.

In the early 1870s, a unique church was built in Kyiv, popularly known as the Iron Church. It was built of cast iron and was located near the modern building of the capital's circus.

In Kyiv, at the Zvirynetske Cemetery, there is a very unusual burial of a local resident who died in 1918. On the grave of the First World War, there is a cross in the form of connected rails, the sides of which are decorated with German grenade shells.
