The oldest street in #Kyiv, #Vladimirskaya, is more than a thousand years old. It is named after the same #Kyiv prince, the baptizer of #Rus, whom #Moscow is trying to appropriate for itself.

At a time when #Kyiv was already a big city, which was decorated with the #Tithe_Church, #Sophia of #Kiev, the #Pechersky Monastery, and #St_Michael's cathedral frogs were still croaking in the #Moscow swamps.
