Speaking of architecture, Kiev reminds me of Moscows in many ways; the subway stations, the relative homogeneity given it's size, the shared painstakingly cold winters, the fact both are chock full of xenophobes and run by a (Jewish) oligarchy.
Nice pictures, thanks for posting. Too bad you didn't show any skyscrapers though, like Parus or Gulliver!
As to the racism comments, let's not get carried away by comparing Moscow to Kyiv. The latter has its share of problems in this regard, but not even close to the former. There are plenty of Asians in Kyiv, especially from Vietnam and Tajikistan, that feel just fine.

Sorry to bump this thread after so many years, but all the news reports got me interested in Kyiv and I realized I didn't know much about what it looked like. Thankfully, skyscraperpage has a few photo threads. It looks like a vital, vibrant place. Very sorry to see what's happening there. Glory to Ukraine, as they say.
A very odd house across from the President's, apparently it was a concrete magnate's attempt to lure more contracts for his company with the first concrete house in the city:
Yeah, it's pretty odd
I love this, it could be an entrance to an over-the-top casino!
