Independence Square (Maidan Nezalezhnosti), Kyiv, Ukraine [03:04]
Kyiv's central square has undergone major changes in recent years, both above and below ground. The square is locally referred to as "The Big Greenhouse." That's not a botanical compliment but rather an indictment of the Globus Shopping Centre's glassy domes. Throughout Soviet times, October Revolution Square, as it was known, featured a daunting Lenin statue. Despite the seemingly constant modifications, Maidan has been the city's epicentre for generations. In 2004, it gained world notoriety for staging the events of the Orange Revolution. Images of the square circulated the globe for weeks as Ukrainians from all walks of life changed/delayed the course of Ukrainian history. As you walk on Maidan, imagine the entire square and surrounding streets filled by a determined yet jubilant orange mob. © Kyiv In Your Pocket

Monument to Founders of Kyiv [00:47]
The story behind the name "Kyiv" goes back hundreds of years to the mythical foundation of the city. According to legend, the city was founded in the 5th century by three brothers, and a sister, the oldest brother being named Prince Kyi. They supposedly sailed down the Dnipro River and established a settlement at the top of four hills on the grounds of what is today known as Schekavitsa and Khorivitsa. One can overlook this area if you go right after ascending Andrew's Descent. You may also visit likenesses of the four siblings in one of two areas, either on the bank of the Dnipro River near Paton bridge, or at the fountain in Maidan Nezaleznosti.
