Klovska (Ukrainian: Кловська, (listen)) — is a station on Kyiv Metro's Syretsko-Pecherska Line. Originally the station was a temporary terminus of the line between its opening date 31 December 1989 and prior to the expansion of the line to Vydubichy in December 1991. Designed by architects A. Krushinskiy, L. Kachalova, O. Cherevko and M. Solyanyk the station is a standard pylon trivault, but with aesthetics resembling the metallic Prague Metro stations, rather than the traditional marble-clad Soviet ones. The emphasis was to give the station monumentalism, which is achieved by giving a bright high contrast gleam to the appearance. The vault ceilings are covered by set of green aluminium planes. Highly contrasting with this are the black niches which hold a line of powerful fluorescent lighting elements. White marble is used for the walls. It is only speculation that the marble artwork at the end of the station and the plant cell shaped pylons have any connation to Biology and thus to the station's original name Mechnikova (Мечникова) after the famous Russian biologist Ilya Mechnikov. In 1992 however the station was renamed after the Klov district of Kyiv where it is situated. Its location still in the city centre, with its single underground vestibule located under the Mechnikova street junction which not being a major transport hub and purely a residential area means that despite the nearly two decades of operation, its passenger traffic daily is only 12.2 thousand. This is evidenced by the fact that the grey granite floor still retains its original polish enhancing the ambient image of the station. Behind the station is a turnback which was used for reversal during its terminus days, but the tunnel continues all the way to the same arrangement behind the Maidan Nezalezhnosti station of the Obolonsko–Teremkivska Line this service branch was used extensively right up to 2007 when the Syretsko-Pecherska Line relied upon the Obolon depot, and trains going to and from would pass Klovska first. After the opening of the Chervony Khutir depot in 2007, the intensity of this kind of traffic dropped.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine (Ukrainian: Міністерство внутрішніх справ України, romanized: Ministerstvo vnutrishnikh sprav Ukrainy, MVS) is the ministry of the Ukrainian government that oversees the interior affairs of Ukraine. The ministry carries out state policy for the protection of rights and liberties of citizens, investigates unlawful acts against the interest of society and state, fights crime, provides civil order, ensures civil security and traffic safety, and guarantees the security and protection of important individuals. It is a centralised agency headed by the Minister of Internal Affairs. The ministry works closely with the office of the General Prosecutor of Ukraine. It oversees the National Police of Ukraine (police service), National Guard of Ukraine (gendarmerie), the State Emergency Service of Ukraine (civil defense), State Border Guard Service of Ukraine (and its subordinate the Ukrainian Sea Guard) and the State Migration Service (customs service). Formerly, the ministry directly controlled the Ukrainian national law enforcement agency, termed the militsiya (Ukrainian: міліція, Russian: милиция). This changed in July 2015, in the aftermath of Euromaidan, with the introduction of reforms by Ukrainian president Petro Poroshenko to reduce corruption, whereby the militsiya was replaced with the National Police.

The State Emergency Service was transferred under the jurisdiction of the ministry since 2014.

The Klov Palace (Ukrainian: Кловський палац) is the seat of the Supreme Court of Ukraine in Kyiv. The building takes its name from Klov, a neighbourhood of Pechersk District. The Baroque residence was constructed between 1752 and 1756 with funds provided by Kyiv Pechersk Lavra. The Russian royal family were expected to stay at the palace during their visits to the monastery, as they did in a wooden palace that had preceded it. The architects are thought to have been Gottfried Johann Schädel and Pyotr Neyelov. The actual construction was supervised by Stepan Kovnir. The main hall has the plafond frescoed in 1760. A formal garden was laid out around the palace.The palace was never visited by any royalty, however, and it was not long before it fell into disrepair. Catherine II of Russia, who was passing through Kyiv in 1787, preferred Mariinskyi Palace for her residence. It was destroyed by a fire in 1858 and was rebuilt soon after with the addition of an upper story and the side wings. The palace burnt down in the aftermath of the Russian Revolution. A restoration process was undertaken in the 1970s.
