This cradle of all that is Russian, this receptacle of ‘New Ukrainian’  wealth, this paradise of crooked politicians and gangsters is  so...beautiful.

Modern-day Kyiv is part Kyivan  Rus, part Soviet, part Ukrainian-nationalist and part capitalist  mayhem. Turn-of-the-20th-century architecture mixes with Soviet  monumentalism and flashy office buildings; and statues glorify  characters as diverse as Lesi Ukrainka, Lenin and Lobanovsky.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjf3isYN8rEBuH6jcLmRcVYfZ4D3VDO4sK4C2gtpG1ztCTHRmyF_8vz0N1PPks7mTiEKHvhgzzmmY5G3g3KWHXrWN3GnddsIP9eZIKqzml4usy_ht6P_gzgj7n5bgJUK0gGlak5l98Q82c/s1600/Kyiv+12.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjf3isYN8rEBuH6jcLmRcVYfZ4D3VDO4sK4C2gtpG1ztCTHRmyF_8vz0N1PPks7mTiEKHvhgzzmmY5G3g3KWHXrWN3GnddsIP9eZIKqzml4usy_ht6P_gzgj7n5bgJUK0gGlak5l98Q82c/s200/Kyiv+12.jpg" width="200" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSfyYfF-V_jk755f_oToTiD3IkgRp_i1I196zEKqE9tl3yyPNhSDaEfOMhIayKnangMrJbUCo2WJh4x5uVS4jyIUj8nY46sBv-qIsU4wHqVQxA1SnkmCZTS0SSWGdrATu-WFJ7U8LzBLs/s1600/Kyiv+36.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSfyYfF-V_jk755f_oToTiD3IkgRp_i1I196zEKqE9tl3yyPNhSDaEfOMhIayKnangMrJbUCo2WJh4x5uVS4jyIUj8nY46sBv-qIsU4wHqVQxA1SnkmCZTS0SSWGdrATu-WFJ7U8LzBLs/s320/Kyiv+36.jpg" width="320" /></a>Of course there is a tinge of truth to those  gangster stereotypes, as anybody who’s anybody in the often shady world  of Ukrainian business maintains a private apartment in the capital.  Aggressive drivers and late-model BMWs are the norm.

By all means do  the typical tourist stuff: check out the mummified monks of the Lavra or  visit the charming street of Andriyivsky uzviz. But also leave time to  join the ever-present local crowds simply drinking in the atmosphere.  Wander through hilltop parkland overlooking the Dnipro River and  Soviet-built suburbs on the far bank. Or, in summer, set out your towel  on the city beaches of Hydropark. Stroll along the main street of  Khreshchatyk, eat well, have a beer, go clubbing – that’s when this  whirlwind of a city really sweeps you off your feet.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbUqfdfLN6VbJIFIzJJnu0qdLVKveNwggAOmgyNrDrWM-NN-bEh_RX2HWXlOrilW_mb5joOTjJrq12dibXIDKBYtBDwf8JnmiGxJy0YDKv_Debjd3Tft5I4-m0zy2hI0uvNVzTrtFdmK0/s1600/Kyiv+43.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right;

True, the city’s appearance grows tattier as you head  south past half-empty sanatoriums towards its beachside nightclubs.  However, this East–West crossroads makes up for that with sheer panache. Local writer Issac Babel claimed Odesa had ‘more  charm than any city in the Russian Empire’ and that’s probably still  true in modern-day <a href="http://www.lonelyplanet.com/destinationRedirector?atlasId=360912">Ukraine</a>.  The source of this charm is Odesans themselves: a breed apart, they’re  stylish, cultured, funny, savvy and not easily impressed.<br /><div class="relatedLinks clearfix"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhETfNnXYA6Bqina4PrWtvpYm87gwpiBJq83LUsFFX2xbGSdiCVsIsB2pnz9yB_GA6KnhmUdnUshtMEKMra6VAx4Ut8YsMJqkOz1QXsF-qWKej1P9BIr_YjCcKCnZePu0faXz9W4D3w8b4/s1600/Odesa++44.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right;
