These are pictures from my window in the apartment. Most of the buildings were built during communism. Ukraine has been freed from communism since 1991. The apartments are mostly two bedrooms and maybe a living room that at night is used for a bedroom. Families of all sizes from 1 to 6 or more live in these. As you can see there is plenty of snow!




This is St. Michael's Cathedral.



This is St. Sophia's Cathedral.



In the center of Kiev is a statue that has the distances to many different cities in Ukraine from Kiev. This marker is for Poltava, where I will be shortly, and it shows that it is 304KM away.
