Darnytsia (Ukrainian: Дарниця, (listen)) is a station on the Kyiv Metro's Sviatoshynsko-Brovarska Line. It was opened on 5 November 1965 as part of the westwards eastwards expansion of the Brovary radius and is the second station located fully on the left bank of the Dnipro River. It's named after the historic neighborhood of Kyiv, Darnytsia. Designed by architects I.Maslenkov and V.Bogdanovsky, the station presents itself as a simple surface platform with a pillar-supported concrete canopy, a design that is almost identical to the three other stations that opened along with it and typical for the 1960s public architecture. Originally a terminus, not far from the station is the "Darnytsia" depot which was the first fully operational in Kyiv, and also served the Obolonsko–Teremkivska Line from 1976 until 1982 when the "Obolon" depot opened. The Darnytsia station is located on the edge of a large park and on the Brovary Avenue. Originally the station had only one entrance through a pedestrian underpass at the eastern end. The western overpass exit was built in 2006. This was necessary as the station is one of the busiest on the radius due to the large amount of land transport coming from the northern left-bank districts and the local shopping center of Darnytsia.

Kyiv Academic Theatre of Drama and Comedy on the left bank of Dnieper

The Kyiv State Drama and Comedy Theatre on left bank of Dnipro river (Ukrainian: Київський академічний театр драми і комедії на лівому березі Дніпра) is a theatre in Kyiv in Ukraine. The Kyiv State Drama and Comedy Theater on the Left Bank (Left Bank Theater) - the first theater on the left bank of Kyiv - was born on September 7, 1978. The first troupe gathering was held on this day. And the first premiere - the play "The Highest Point - Love" by R. Fedyenov - was held on April 21, 1979. A play by Vladimir Vinnichenko in 1992 became the first Ukrainian performance at the Russian-speaking theater. In May 1982, the City Hall gave the team and head Eduard Mytnyckyi the building, which housed the Cosmos Cinema up to that point. Initially, within its walls was created "Theater in the lobby" - the first small stage in Kyiv and Ukraine. In the first 15 years of its existence, the theater embodied the actual, topical drama. The theater changed its direction and began to focus attention on classical works in the 1990s. On January 18, 2019, Stas Zhyrkov and Tamara Trunova became theater directors. The new team began the process of reformation and upgrading. Theater left in the repertoire classical drama performances, and start to supplement performances of original, actual texts on acute-social topics. Today, Left Bank Theater has more than 50 performances in the repertoire, including physical theatre and modern comedy del arte play. The Kyiv State Drama and Comedy Theater on the Left Bank toured in Georgia, Belarus, Latvia, Lithuania, Germany, Poland; always has participated in international theatrical festivals and has become one of the best Ukrainian theater for 40 years of history.

Chernihivska (Kyiv Metro)
Chernihivska (Kyiv Metro)

Chernihivska (Ukrainian: Чернiгiвська, (listen)) is a Kyiv Metro station on the Sviatoshynsko-Brovarska Line. The station was built as a single extension to the newer housing massifs built on the eastern edge of Kyiv. Located next to the intersection of Brovary Avenue and Bratislava Street, it is a surface station built to the identical design that was popular throughout the Soviet Union at the time, matching five stations on the Moscow Metro (such as Bagrationovskaya) and one on Tbilisi Metro (Dibube). Chernihivska's design (architects I. Maslenikov, V. Bogdanovskaya, T. Tselikovskaya) consists of two levels, a lower platform level and an upper street level. The latter is made with two square glazed vestibules standing opposite a road flyover that crosses perpendicular to the platform alignment. As a result, on the platform level there is no canopy as such; however, the need for the support of the structure requires a span of pillars on the centreline that are faced with white marble, and a fake canopy bottom adjoins from the top. Apart from the black granite on the platform, that is the only decoration used. However to avoid the station creating a gloomy nighttime appearance both the "ceilings" of the station are painted white. In Kyiv this was the first time such a design was required, and also the last time, because when the station was opened on 4 November 1968, the state requirement for aesthetic functionality designs with little or no decorative architecture had already passed, and the cost-saving surface station approach was abandoned in favour of returning to standard underground designs. One unique feature of the station is that it has a second platform for eastbound trains. When the station was the line's terminus, this was used for quicker unloading of passengers who were traveling from the centre to save the congestion in the small vestibules during peak hours (which were operating entry only). However, after the extension to Lisova in 1979, the passenger traffic fell rapidly and this arrangement was discontinued, although the platform itself remains. The station is named after the city of Chernihiv, because the Brovary Avenue then continues out of Kyiv as the E101 motorway towards that city. Originally, however, the station was called Komsomolska (ukr:Комсомольська, rus:Комсомольская, Komsomolskaya) after the Communist Youth League that played an important role in Soviet society. After the Independence of Ukraine in 1991, the station was renamed due to the old name becoming obsolete after the League was disbanded.
