Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine and its largest city, was under the control of the Communist Party of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) from 1922 until 1991. After the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991, Ukraine adopted a democratic system of government and a free-market economy.

The chief city and capital of Ukraine is Kyiv (also spelled Kiev). Situated on the banks of the Dnieper River just below its confluence with the Desna River, Kyiv is a major port and one of the largest and most important cities of eastern Europe. Kyiv is not only the national capital but the capital of Kyiv oblast (province) as well.

Kyiv was one of the top five biggest decliners in this year’s “Global Liveability Report” by the Economist Intelligence Unit, with the Ukrainian capital dropping 21.4% in the index over the past five years to take it into the top 10 of least liveable cities.
