A central place and symbol of the Orange Revolution and Euromaïdan, Maïdan Nezalezhnosti also applies to its Soviet-style monumental architecture. The whole place and its buildings dates back to the 1950 s. The square is out of the road and the inhabitants of Kiev enjoy walking there all season, alone or with friends, with a beer on the benches ready and there on the square. Today, in the south-east part of the square, not far from the point where the streets Mykhailiivska, Sofiyska, Mala Zhytomyrska and Tarasa Shevchenko are the ancient Lyadskie doors that have recently been reconstructed on the foundations of the old. In the middle of the square, we also see the column of independence. The square cuts the main avenue in Kiev, Khreshchatyk street. This 1,5-km long street has existed for 200 years, but it was completely destroyed during the Second world war. In September 1941, at the beginning of Nazi occupation, the Soviet secret services minèrent all the Immeubles buildings in order to kill the Germans who lived there. From old Khreshchatyk, there are now only a few houses, such as the group of buildings between No. 40 and No. 52 of the street, dating from the second half of the th century. The street was actually rebuilt after the war in Empire style and presents itself as a real masterpiece of Stalinist architecture. The best is to walk here during the weekend when the Khreshchatyk is closed to the traffic of cars and transforms into a gigantic pedestrian area.

Grande place au bout de l'avenue commerçante principale de Kiev surnommée les "Champs-Elysées ukrainiennes". Incontournable si vous souhaitez marcher sur les pas de la révolte contre le gouvernement.

Définitivement un lieux à visiter. Un lieu chargé d'histoire et où vous pouvez voir non seulement la colonne et l'horloge avec de la végétation, mais aussi d'autres curiosités comme l'arbre avec des chaises. Un endroit avec une très bonne ambiance à tout moment.
