I had the good fortune to participate in some training in Kiev a few weeks ago, so I got to see some of the city and see some old friends.
The first thing I saw was this guy driving down the highway...
Click on the picture to see a larger version. Hopefully, it's possible to see that the car has protective (I assume) metal tubing wrapping all the way around it. I asked our driver if cars like this were common in Ukraine. He said no.
On our way to the hotel from the airport, the driver took us to see this impressive statue. The Soviet Union sure knew how to do monumental statuary.
The training didn't allow for much time to see the city, but during a walk, we came across the funicular that saved people from having heart attacks climbing a hill.
Kiev also has many Orthodox churches, painted in beautiful bright colors and usually gold trim. This one was really nice.
