Neighborhood

I'm live at historical neighbourhood Bereznyaki :)  on the left bank of Kiev. Massive construction began there in 1971.

 
Next to me  Rusanivka is a neighbourhood surrounded by a canal, the Rusanivs'kyi Kanal, and a tributary from the Dnieper River. The river and canal make the neighborhood resemble an island. Closer to the river, Rusanivka has a couple small beaches. The neighbourhood has many apartment buildings, most are which are 9 to 16 stories tall. There are many stores and cafés on the Rusanivs'ka Naberezhna, the main street in Rusanivka.

Welcome :)

Thank you all for attention.
