From older times it is referred to as "the Mother of all cities of ancient Rus". Ancient Kyiv was a large commercial centre of the East Slavs. A great role in the history of Kyiv was played by Prince Volodymyr who united Slav peoples. So Kyiv was made the capital of Ancient Rus and it lasted for nearly three centuries.

But it is not only its old age and long history that makes Kyiv stand out among other cities. It is a unique and extremely harmonious combination of historic values and ways of life that draws crowds of people from all over the world to Kyiv.
