Television Museum

Museum / gallery

The Television Museum of the National Public Television and Radio Company of Ukraine (NSTU) was opened in 2006, to the 55th anniversary of Ukrainian television broadcasting. It is located in the premises of the Kyiv TV Center "Olivets", opposite the Kyiv Television Tower.

The 24-story building of the TV center in Syrka was erected in 1983-1992 on the site of the old Jewish cemetery. The Kyiv TV Center was planned as a backup for the central television of the USSR, in case of failure of the Moscow TV Center, which explains the excessive scale of the complex, given the needs of Ukrainian television at the time. In addition to the central office building, which resembles a pencil with its contours, there is a powerful equipment and studio complex for 8 television studios, an unfinished movie concert hall and a protected underground storage for broadcasting in conditions of martial law.

The Museum of Television is located on the lower level of the central lobby of the TV Center. The exposition visualizes the history of Ukrainian television with the help of a series of installations. In particular, the interior of the first television studio of the 1950s in the old television center at 26 Khreshchatyk Street has been recreated.

The permanent exhibition includes more than 800 exhibits, including a television with a magnifying lens KVN-49 and other tube televisions, old film and television cameras, video recorders of various periods and standards, editing equipment, etc. A gallery of sketches and mock-ups of scenery for famous TV programs, made by artists of the TV channel, is presented. A separate section is devoted to the participation of Ukrainian television broadcasters in coverage of the Chornobyl disaster.

The museum has an interactive film set, thanks to which you can try yourself as a presenter or cameraman. The permanent exhibition is complemented by an exhibition area in the main lobby.

Excursions introduce visitors to the exposition of the museum, the programs of the "UA: Public Broadcasting" TV channels, the production units of the TV center, the behind-the-scenes kitchen, television professions and interesting people. Pre-registration is required to visit.

Ascension Florivsky Convent

Temple , Architecture

Ascension Florivsky Convent (sometimes called Frolivsky) is the oldest active monastery in Kyiv.

It is mentioned in documents from the 16th century as the monastery of Saints Florus and Lavr. In 1712, the complex was transferred to the nuns of the closed Ascension Monastery in Pechersk, and since then it has had the double name Florivsky-Ascension (sometimes it is mistakenly called Frolivsky).

In 1722-1732, the Ascension Cathedral with a southern aisle was built on the territory of the monastery in honor of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God. The belfry, the hegumen's house and the Ascension Church at the monastery hospital were built in the 19th century by the architect Andriy Melenskyi. The wall of the refectory is decorated with a painting. Later, other temples appeared.

In 1929, the Florivsky Monastery was closed, the Holy Trinity Church was destroyed. During the Second World War, it was reopened and was no longer closed, but part of the premises was taken from the nuns. Currently, all churches (except the destroyed Holy Trinity) have been returned to the monastery belonging to the UOC of the Moscow Patriarchate. The Kazan temple is being restored. The Florivsky Monastery was famous for its school of artistic sewing.

An active source of holy water has been preserved.

Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine

Architecture

The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine (House of the Government of Ukraine) is the largest administrative building in Kyiv (235,000 square meters).

It was built in 1938 for the People's Commissariat of Internal Affairs (NKVS), which left its mark on the exterior and interior layout (rounded corridors and many corners facilitated defense). However, throughout its century, the building served as the premises of the Ukrainian government.

In 1997, on the initiative of the then Prime Minister Pavlo Lazarenko, the upper floors of the Government House were repainted white, thereby softening the harsh appearance of the building.

Excursions are held in the building of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine. The Government House also houses the Museum of the History of Governments of Ukraine. Original materials related to the activities of former heads of government, including documents, awards, and photographs, have been submitted. The interior of the office of the Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the USSR has been recreated. Visitors can familiarize themselves with the technical means used by employees of the government apparatus. The exhibition of gifts received by leaders and members of the government of Ukraine as gifts to the state is constantly updated.

Maydan Knyazhyi dvir

Historic area

Maydan Knyazhyi dvir (princely court) is located in the center of the ancient Pereyaslav. Princes of Pereyaslav lived here, state affairs were decided, the princely army was gathered, from here they set off against the enemy and returned here victorious.

In princely times, the area of the entire city center reached 2.5 hectares. The princely court (Knyazhyi dvir) occupied its northern part and was bounded from the east by the central street connecting the princely and episcopal gates, from the north and west by a defensive rampart, and from the south by a transverse street that departed from the city center.

It was at this place in 1654 that the Pereyaslavska Rada was held - the general military council of the leaders of the Ukrainian Cossacks, at which Hetman Bohdan Khmelnytskyi, before the Moscow embassy of the boyar Vasyl Buturlin, took an oath of loyalty to Tsar Oleksiy Mykhaylovych, the result of which was the conclusion of an agreement on a military-political union between Ukraine and by Muscovy.

On the square is the Cathedral of the Dormition, where the Cossack foreman was sworn in. Ukraine was under the protectorate of the Muscovite Empire. The process of curtailing the autonomy of the Cossack state and the complete absorption of Ukraine by the Muscovite state, which later became the Russian Empire, soon began.

In honor of the anniversary of those events in Soviet times, the square in front of the Cathedral of the Dormition was named "Pereyaslavska Rada Square". On September 26, 2019, by the decision of the city council session, Pereyaslavska Rada Square was renamed Maydan Knyazhyi dvir.

In 2007, the park was reconstructed - landscaping works were carried out, young trees were planted: red oak, chestnut, ash, mountain ash, conifers, flower gardens and landscape compositions were arranged. The outdoor lighting system was also reconstructed, paths were paved and benches were installed.
