6. The history of Kiev began long ago: according to the
legend, it was wounded by three brothers (the eldest one,
Kyi, gave his name to the city) approximately in the 6th
century. The second Russian prince, Oleg, conquered Kiev
and made it the capital of Rus. Afterword, during the
feudal fragmentation and the Tatar-Mongol yoke, Kiev still
was a symbol of power – until the rise of Moscow. After a
short period of Lithuanian authority, Kiev become of part
of the Russian Kingdom, and of Russian Empire,
remaining the “heart” of particular Ukrainian traditions.
Tragic events of the Civil War and Great Patriotic War did
not damage its value and unique atmosphere.

Wyższa Szkoła Biznesu w Dąbrowie Górniczej
Our city is beautiful at any time. But most of all
visitors gathers here, apparently still in the spring,
when the Kiev white-pink chestnuts are blooming in
April, because Kiev is called the city of chestnuts.
There are several versions of the appearance of
chestnuts in Kiev. The well-known said that in 1842 on
the arrival of Tsar Nicholas I, the then Governor
General Bibikov imported from the Balkans "an
unknown plant, good looking and nice smelling." The
trees were planted in the alley on Bibikov Boulevard
(now Shevchenko Boulevard), by which the monarch
had to enter the city. However, the emperor expressed
his dissatisfaction. During the night, all the chestnuts
were uprooted and instead poplars were planted.
Fortunately, the townspeople did not let die exotic trees
and planted them in their backyards.
