Since the Euromaidan Kyiv has been the place where Europe's future is decided between East and
West. Meanwhile the hybrid war in eastern Ukraine and on the Crimean peninsula has escalated
into an open Russian war of aggression. Significant buildings in the capital Kyiv and vital
infrastructure has come under fire. The Kyiv Architectural Guide presents over 100 buildings
worth seeing from 100 years of the city's history compiled by Ukrainian architectural
historian Semen Shyrochyn. The typical residential complexes of avant-garde architecture the
imposing palaces of the Stalin era the iconic designs of Soviet modernism as well as the most
significant construction projects built since independence are also expertly presented. In
over 300 pages this architectural guide proves that Kyiv is much more than the capital of
Ukraine. Kyiv is an inseparable part of the European community of nations where mutual respect
of values counts more than the power of the strongest. This title is part of the Histories of
Ukrainian Architecture programme initiated by DOM publishers in response to Russia's attack on
Ukraine's sovereignty on 24 February 2022.
