This is an automatically translated description

The book, illustrated with a large number of historical and contemporary photographs, is dedicated to the "most museum-like" street in Kyiv - Tereshchenkivska Street. On some old plans, it is shorter than its name - just a couple of blocks, some six hundred and thirty metres... But you still have to look for a street that could boast so many virtues. It's hard to believe: one short street where almost every house has a museum, or even several. There are literary, natural, art, and apartment museums. So the book is structured as a story about all these treasures, and we also added serious and funny questions that potential tourists might ask.

This is a leisurely walk along Tereshchenkivska Street and an interesting story about buildings, entrances and courtyards, about the lives of prominent patrons and invaluable art collections, about the school that educated as many as eight academics, and about the origins of the Ukrainian sixties. He also talks about the last monument to the tsar in Kyiv and the first telephone conversation in the city, the railway and the funicular, X-rays and hygiene, the stone garden and the imperial park, the house that the author spent fifty years improving, and much more.

The author of the book, Oleksandr Nemyrovsky, is a Kyiv-based historian and journalist who has been published in Ukrainian magazines and newspapers for two and a half decades (Day, Teletyzhden, Natali, Dengi) with small (and sometimes quite large) Kyiv notes, and is now one of the authors of the large project Encyclopedia of the History of Ukraine. But he is better known under the pseudonym Yakiv Hordienko as a co-author of the thorough scientific work TERRA UCRAINICA. Historical Atlas of Ukraine and Neighbouring Lands. From the Cimmerians to the Present.
