Kiev was the capital city of the mighty state of Kievan Rus-Ukraine and the seat of the Ukrainian Orthodox Metropolitanate. It is situated on the banks of the Dnipro River, below the mouth of Desna River. The officially accepted date of the "birth" of Kiev is 482 A.D. According to a widely-known legend, Kiev was founded by three brothers, Kyy, Shchek, Khorev, and their sister Lybid, whose names today are the part of toponomy of Kiev. In 998 Prince Volodymyr introduced Christianity as the official state religion.
Kiev is a cradle of two Slavic nations - Russian and Ukrainian. At the moment 100% of capital citizens understand Russian. It's a unique place, where you will be understood well in both Russian and Ukrainian languages.
Russian - one of the well-spreaded around the world languages -is a part of a Slavic group (eastern sub-group) of Indo-European language family and is one of the 6 official languages in UN. 290 million people speak Russian on the territory of the former USSR, also in Canada, USA, Israel, Germany and other countries; 160 million out of those consider Russian their native language. 140 million people in Russia speak Russian. A well-known russian classic Ivan Turgenev was talking about Russian as "a great and a powerful language". And it's true that this language differs from many other languages by a great lexical variety. Russian is an inflexional language, meaning, depends on the endings.
