Oleksii Polozhai,
taxi driver:
“At first sight, I like everything. There is lots of greenery. Talking about the disadvantages, in comparison to Europe, there is a lot of rubbish in the streets.”
Oksana Hrebenyk,
Ukrainian philology student:
“Kyiv has a special atmosphere. I like the fact that you can take coffee, walk with your friends in whatever direction you want, and you will see picturesque landscapes and beautiful architecture absolutely everywhere. I think I can’t say anything bad about Kyiv for now.”
Vira Filonenko,
pensioner:
“I don`t like the dirt, it’s terrible. The good thing is that the city is growing and the old buildings are being restored. However, if anything is built, it usually takes a very long time. Overall, the disadvantages prevail.”
Liudmyla Kuiun,
professor at the National Medical University:
“I like nature and the people in Kyiv. I do not like, though, that not everyone here respects the culture and pollutes the streets. You should love your city so that it truly becomes a European capital.”
Vitalii Klemchuk,
student, faculty of Computer Systems Automation:
“I like that Kyiv is currently developing. However, I don’t like these post-Soviet buildings and the maintenance of them.”
Oleksii Nekhin,
salesman:
“As a person who recently moved here from a small town, I can say that I don`t like Kyiv as a megalopolis. However, there are many beautiful girls, a lot of places to visit, a lot of options where to work or go in the evening. On the other hand, it takes a very long time to commute.”
