It's quite embarrasing to admit that I have visually cut off of the tops of the cupolas in the admirable Dormition Cathedral in the Pechersk Lavra in the Ukrainian capital of Kiev, obviously one the world's greatest cities!
Kiev Pechersk Lavra or Kyiv Pechersk Lavra (Ukrainian: Києво-Печерська лавра, Kyievo-Pechers’ka lavra), also known as the Kiev Monastery of the Caves, is a historic Orthodox Christian monastery which gave its name to one of the city districts where it is located in Kiev, Ukraine. Since its foundation as the cave monastery in 1015 the Lavra has been a preeminent center of the Eastern Orthodox Christianity in Eastern Europe. Together with the Saint Sophia Cathedral, it is inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The monastery complex is considered a separate national historic-cultural preserve (sanctuary), the national status to which was granted on March 13, 1996. The Lavra also not only located in another part of the city, but is part of a different national sanctuary than Saint-Sophia Cathedral. While being a cultural attraction, the monastery is currently active. It was named one of the Seven Wonders of Ukraine on August 21, 2007, based on voting by experts and the internet community.

vlak 26 (Oděsa-hlavní - Rachov)
Dvanáctivozová souprava oděského rychlíku mířícího do Rachova s dvoudílnou lokomotivou řady 2TE10M pořadového čísla 2751 sjíždí táhlým klesáním obcí Lazešina ke stanici Jasiňa. Vzhledem k politické situaci na Ukrajině a probíhající válce na východě země byla po dlouhá léta stejná nabídka rychlíků směřujících do a z Rachova, poněkud rozšířena. Ke stávajícímu páru rychlíků 357/358 „Huculština” Kyjev - Rachov přibyly ještě dva páry dalších vlaků. Prvním je pár rychlíků 15/16 „Vladyslav Zubenko” z Charkova do Rachova a zpět, který pietně nese jméno dvaadvacítiletého charkovského železničáře (1991 - 2014) padlého při ukrajinském povstání na kyjevském Majdanu v roce 2014. Druhým z párů je pak rychlík 25/26 spojující Oděsu z Rachovem. O tom, že nové rychlíky vznikly především k dopravě vojáků na a z fronty do tohoto koutu Ukrajiny netřeba pochybovat.

Když byla na přelomu 80. a 90. let 19. století projektována trať (otevřena v roce 1895) z dnešního rumunského Sighetu Marmației (tehdejšího uherského Máramarossziget) do Ivano-Frankovska (někdejšího haličského Stanislavova), stavěná ve spolupráci Maďarských královských státních dráh (MÁV) a Císařsko-královských rakouských státních drah (kkStB), bylo pro její trasu na obou stranách tehdejší rakousko-uherské hranice výhodně zvoleno údolí řek Černá Tisa a Prut. Jejich rozvodí pak překračovala 1,3 km dlouhým tunelem ležícím přímo na hranici (dnešní hranice Zakarpatské a Ivanofrankovské oblasti) v Jablunickém průsmyku ve výši 931 metrů nad mořem. Trať, především v nižších úsecích sevřená úzkými údolími zmíněních řek, byla pak nucena několikrát překročit jejich koryta včetně jejich přítoků. Na celkové vzdálenosti 140,1 km tak napočítáme 17 velkých mostů. Menší mostky a propustky v to nepočítaje.

The Memorial in Commemoration of Famines' Victims in Ukraine (Ukrainian: Національний музей «Меморіал пам'яті жертв голодоморів в Україні») is Ukraine’s national museum and a world-class centre devoted to the famines that ravaged Ukraine at the beginning of the 20th century. The museum was founded to commemorate the victims of three famines in Ukraine – the Holodomor of 1932-1933 and the lesser-known famines of 1921-1922 and 1946-1947. The museum was opened on the day of the 75th anniversary of the Holodomor in 2008 and gained the status of a national museum in 2010. The museum is located on the Pechersk Hills on the right bank of the Dnieper river in Kiev, adjacent to the Kiev Pechersk Lavra.
On November 28, 2006, the Parliament of Ukraine (Verkhovna Rada) voted to recognize the Holodomor, a devastating famine which took place in the early 1930s in the former Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic, as a deliberate act of genocide against the Ukrainian people. The bill was signed into law by President Viktor Yushchenko and included a provision for commemorative and research activities, and the construction of memorials to honour the victims and preserve the memory of the Holodomor tragedy for future generations. The Memorial in Commemoration of Famines' Victims in Ukraine was erected on the slopes of the Dnieper river in 2008, welcoming its first visitors on November 22, 2008. The ceremony of the memorial’s opening was dedicated to the 75th anniversary of the Holodomor. On July 8, 2009, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine signed a decree that established a state museum “The Memorial in Commemoration of Famines’ Victims in Ukraine”. The museum subsequently acquired the status of a national museum on February 18, 2010. Starting from February 2010, the museum has been included in the official program for visits to Ukraine by Heads of States and foreign delegations and officials. The current and former presidents of Ukraine, Viktor Yanukovych, Viktor Yushchenko, Leonid Kuchma and Leonid Kravchuk, attended a ceremony on the Day of Commemoration of Famine’s Victims at the museum in November 2012.

Kiev Pechersk Lavra or Kyiv Pechersk Lavra (Ukrainian: Києво-Печерська лавра, Kyievo-Pechers’ka lavra, Russian: Киeво-Печерская лавра, Kievo-Pecherskaja lavra), also known as the Kiev Monastery of the Caves, is a historic Orthodox Christian monastery which gave its name to one of the city districts where it is located in Kiev. Since its foundation as the cave monastery in 1051[5] the Lavra has been a preeminent center of the Eastern Orthodox Christianity in Eastern Europe. Together with the Saint Sophia Cathedral, it is inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The monastery complex is considered a separate national historic-cultural preserve (sanctuary), the national status to which was granted on 13 March 1996. The Lavra also not only located in another part of the city, but is part of a different national sanctuary than Saint Sophia Cathedral. While being a cultural attraction, the monastery is currently active. It was named one of the Seven Wonders of Ukraine on 21 August 2007, based on voting by experts and the internet community. Currently, the jurisdiction over the site is divided between the state museum, National Kiev-Pechersk Historic-Cultural Preserve, and the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (Moscow Patriarchy) as the site of the chief monastery of that Church and the residence of its leader, Metropolitan Volodymyr.
The Kiev Pechersk Lavra contains numerous architectural monuments, ranging from bell towers to cathedrals to underground cave systems and to strong stone fortification walls. The main attractions of the Lavra include Great Lavra Belltower, the notable feature of the Kiev skyline, and the Dormition Cathedral, destroyed in World War II, and fully reconstructed in recent years. Other churches and cathedrals of the Lavra include: the Refectory Church, the Church of All Saints, the Church of the Saviour at Berestove, the Church of the Exaltation of Cross, the Church of the Trinity, the Church of the Nativity of the Virgin, the Church of the Conception of St. Anne, and the Church of the Life-Giving Spring. The Lavra also contains many other constructions, including: the St. Nicholas Monastery, the Kiev Theological Academy and Seminary, and the Debosquette Wall.
The Great Lavra Belltower is one of the most notable features of the Kiev skyline and among the main attractions of the Lavra. 96.5 meters in height, it was the tallest free-standing belltower at the time of its construction in 1731–1745, and was designed by the architect Johann Gottfried Schädel. It is a Classical style construction and consists of tiers, surmounted by a gilded dome.
The Church of the Saviour at Berestove is located to the North of the Kiev Pechersk Lavra. It was constructed in the village of Berestove around the start of the 11th century during the reign of Prince Volodymyr Monomakh. It later served as the mausoleum of the Monomakh dynasty, also including Yuri Dolgoruki, the founder of Moscow. However being outside the Lavra fortifications, the Church of the Saviour at Berestove is part of the Kiev Pechersk Lavra complex.
