Founded in 1108 by Prince Sviatopolk, the cathedral to the golden domes is a symbolic monument for Ukrainians because it is dedicated to angel Mykhaïl, the prince of angels. Its majestic domes encouraged the warriors defending the Russia of Kiev against the invaders from the th century. We note at the entrance of the frescoes representing the ancient city. In the th century the relics of Saint Barbara were transferred here, one can always see them on the left. Like dozens of other churches, Saint-Mykhaïl was destroyed by communists in the 1930 s. Its reconstruction according to the original plans was completed in 2000-2001. Now gold domes are again watching Kiev. On the left of the church you can see a monument to the victims of the great famine of 1931 and 1933. Indeed, in the 1930 s, Stalin began to eliminate the rich farmers, the koulaks, whose Ukraine was particularly full. He decided to decimate the Ukrainian people by famine. We can see on the front of the church, three groups of statues: on the left, André represents the beginning of the Christian religion in the first century; in Olga, the first "converted" to Christianity of Kiev Rus; on the right, St Cyril and St Methodius.

quartier agréable
bel ensemble, tout bleu.
Il est intéressant de voir le rôle des moines pendant les soulèvements de 2014: il semble qu'ils fassent entièrement partie de la société ukrainienne.
une large rue sépare St Sophie et le monastère, en hiver, c'est un grand marché de Noël très animé.

La vie en bleu !
Non loin de Sainte Sophie, cette cathédrale / monastère vaut le détour. D'un part car l'entrée est gratuite, mais aussi parce qu'elle est sublime. Sa couleur bleue attire le regard. A l'arrière, un parc très arboré où se baladent les écureuils permet un moment de détente, idéal pique-nique.

C'est gratuit. L'intérieur est joli, il servait de refuge aux insurgés de Maïdan, et un mémorial leur est consacré à l'intérieur, mais on ne retrouve pas la richesse et la ferveur de la Ste Sophie.

Très belle église orthodoxe non loin de l'église Sainte Sophie. Quartier à ne pas rater à Kiev
