Kyiv. Transformation in the past.

For 100 years the city has changed not just a lot, and in fact all except the temples and cathedrals, which has been preserved. Changes in most cases not the best. In many respects, the city has lost its identity, its unique architecture and historical monuments.

On the contrary today the red building of the University. Shevchenko was a monument to Nicholas I, on a much more beautiful pedestal than the monument to Taras Shevchenko today. The situation has changed, but in the whole place guess.

The area of the merchant meeting (today Philharmonic) before looked much more compositional holistically and comfortable than today's European square. In the center stood one of the fountains of the theremin, and the alley leading to the lookout was marked by an arch of incredible beauty. Today, the lookout, too, is rainbow arch, and under it two half-naked guy, symbolizing the friendship of Russia and Ukraine. To remove the European area with the same height could not hall of too high and the Windows do not come from the inside.

The monument to Vladimir with cross had to remove a few left because of the growing trees. On the other side - sleeping areas.

Sophia square, if you look at the Cathedral, has not changed. Appeared paving and luxury housing, right at the fence Sofia. Yes and transport increased. We have tried to recreate the time of day, but the old pictures, hand painted, colorist wanted to see the sunset, although the building is lighted from the East, and the red horizon from the West. We decided not to get off tonight.

I'm not nostalgic, however, the chain bridge, which could easily compete with Budapest, looked far more beautiful than the current metro bridge. During the period of low water ruins it supports seen a few dozen meters from the metro bridge.

Around the monastery was added vegetation, road junctions steel Murena promenade paved with stone and painted graffiti.

St. Andrew's Church. It should be noted that photoshop appeared much earlier than it might seem at first glance. Designers worked not only with color, as I have already mentioned, but also with the clone stamp: it is a post and wire no. In the sky there, and under the domes of the Church there, it was difficult to jam, and scaling in the old version of the program, obviously, was not.

From the old Khreshchatyk nothing left. Today is the so - called "Stalinist architecture", well recognized in many countries of the former socialist camp.
