"My flat was directly across from the institute, not on the Kreshchatik, but on a hill. In particular, Ukrainian poet Taras Shevchenko documented:
However the offspur itself did not receive a lot of development due to the lack of space, and as a result, some of the Linden trees still existed for a long time afterwards. This area formed nowadays' most expensive city neighbourhoods: Lypky (from the Ukrainian translation of Lindens "Липки"). Some of the resettling was directed towards the remaining Linden forest, which was deforested by the order of the governor. However, for the construction, some of Pechersk's residents had to be resettled (in all 1,180 households were demolished). The construction would later be abandoned due to political instability in the Russian Empire. The remaining parts of the offspur, south of the Olhinska street did not receive a lot of development, as it was reserved in 1830 by the Governor of the Kiev Governorate Knyaz Levashov, who ordered the construction of a new Pechersk Fortress which would continue for almost twenty years. One of these driveways became the modern Olhinska street, which effectively placed the offspur in the geographical layout that survives today, with the Olhinska street cutting off the offspur in the south. When Mering died in 1895, it was possible to divide the estate into several quarters, due to the formation of the estate's service driveways. To gain additional profits, Mering allowed part of the park to be converted for the use of workshops and storage. At the same time, the other side of the offspur also received its share of development, and the Linden tree forest was transformed into a park with a lake (in the modern location of the Ivan Franko square) all of this was inside the grounds of a massive estate that was bought in 1862 by Kyiv University professor of medicine F. A beautiful Linden wood covered the surrounding hills forming a picturesque view from the city walls.Įventually, the military fortification was pulled down, and as the 18th century drew to a close, development of the picturesque area quickly began turning the Ivanovo road into Ivanovskaya Street (renamed in the 1820s to Bigechevskaya when an estate of General Bigechev was constructed on it).
One of which, modern Institutska Street, was known since days of Kievan Rus' as the Ivanovo road and the other (modern Horodetska) lead to a large market that was to the south. Overlooking the Pechersk Gate from the south was an offspur of the Pechersk plateau with two roads on both sides linking the Pechersk with old Kyiv. The layout of the roads leading to the gate can still be observed at the five small streets coming out of the northern part of the square. Historically, when Kyiv still had military fortification walls surrounding the city which ran along the modern Khreschatyk street and in the area of the Pechersk Gate, now located in today's Maidan Nezalezhnosti square. The area of the location where the modern building sits is significant to the history of Kyiv and its geography.
The hotel is state-owned and belongs to the State Management of Affairs. The construction of the hotel finished the architectural ensemble of Kyiv's main street – the Khreshchatyk – which formed the post-war reconstruction of central Kyiv. It was built in 1961 as the Hotel "Moscow" in a location which originally was occupied by Kyiv's first skyscraper, the Ginzburg House. Hotel Ukraine ( Ukrainian: Готель Україна), also referred to as Hotel Ukrayina, is a four-star hotel located in central Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine.
