Join a great journey through the relics of the communist regime. The Free Soviet Kyiv Tour traces the history of Ukraine’s capital from the turbulent times following the Russian Revolution, the horror of Stalinization, the Cold War era, to finally achieving independence after the fall of the Soviet Union. On this tour, guests will have the chance to see some of the main monuments that have borne witness to the city’s most impactful historical events. One of these emblematic landmarks is the impressive Founders of Kyiv Monument, which sits in Independence Square. During the Soviet era, this important meeting esplanade was known as Soviet Square, but its name was changed in 1991 to Independence Square in celebration of its newfound freedom. Today it’s one of the cultural and social gathering points of the city.
