A walk through the Kiev railway station with a native Muscovite.
Why did you arrive at the station three hours before the train left?
Did you miss home? I understand. But why sit at the station?
Are you almost home at Kyiv railway station? I understand. But let's go, let's walk.
Київський вокзал.
Are you tired of Moscow? From everything - from traffic jams, from vanity, from Muscovites? I also understand. I once joined the army, the first thing I heard was "The rooks came to us - the Muscovite Araks. " So. They don't love us. But we are not offended. We know that we are the best.
Well, let's go. You will go to Ukraine. Well, a little more in England. I promise.
How? Like this. Went. Just let's have a beer. You see, Obolon is for sale.
Ukraine is Europe, so let's go to Europe Square. There used to be a homeless man here. Gypsies walked in crowds. Do you see any beauty now?
Europe Square near Kyiv Railway Station.
We need to cross the road, and we are already on the Ukrainian Boulevard. Cool place. Around traffic jams, crowds, and here it is green and quiet. To the left is a huge complex of buildings of the Office of the Diplomatic Corps. Apartments in this area are more expensive than in Paris.
Український бульвар.
And this is a monument to Lesya Ukrainka.
The girl had hair - silk waves,
And a shirt embroidered with roosters.

Okay. Let's move on. Do you see an unusual building of industrial architecture on the left? This is a beautiful building. This is Badaev Brewery. Do you feel how cool the malt smells?
Badaevsky Brewery.
Well, let's go, let's go. That's the waterfront. On the other side is our White House.
Government Building of the Russian Federation.
What drew you to Russia? Yes, this is the Government House of the Russian Federation. But he is on the other bank. And you look back. That's what you think - who is it? This is a monument to Taras Shevchenko. And we are standing on the embankment of Taras Shevchenko. So do not be bored.
Don't marry a rich woman -
Expelled from the house,
Do not marry a poor man -
You won't live long,

I do not agree with the classic. All right. Went to England.
Look, this side of the river is kind of beautiful. Power. Power! ! ! ! ! This is the hotel "Ukraine".
Hotel" Ukraine ".
And here is the new building of the British Embassy. So. It also reminds me of an unfinished three-star hotel in Antalya.
The building of the British Embassy in Moscow.
And what to do? Everyone has their own tastes.
They have an old building - it's just Victorian England. And directly opposite the Kremlin. But it became crowded, and they were given this place. In the old place now only the residence of Mr. Ambassador.

Let's get closer. Do you know? Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson. Put Watson in the book of money and sit between them. Now, according to an old belief, you will learn one important secret.

Do you know this place? But all people of the former USSR should recognize it. Here Detochkin stole the Volga from Andriy Mironov.
The place where the episode of the movie" Beware of the car "was shot.
Everything. I see that you are already nervous. Went. We only need to cross the Borodino bridge at our native Kyiv railway station.
Borodino Bridge. In the background are the buildings of the Belgrade Hotel and the building of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation.
Just turn around on the bridge. You will see the building of the Russian Foreign Ministry. And this skyscraper is the brother of "Ukraine".
The building of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation on Smolenskaya Square.
You see - it took us a little over an hour, and how much you saw. And he almost never left his native Ukraine.
Let's help put things in the car. Happy road. With God.
