A bold tribute to the Mother of Slavic Cities and the Golden Domes of the Dnipro where Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine and one of the oldest and most historically significant cities in eastern Europe, founded over 1,500 years ago on the high right bank of the Dnipro River and serving as the capital of Kievan Rus, the first great Slavic state from which both Russia and Ukraine claim their historical origins, possesses a historic core of extraordinary richness crowned by the UNESCO World Heritage site of the Saint-Sophia Cathedral, built by Yaroslav the Wise in 1037 in conscious emulation of the Hagia Sophia of Constantinople as a statement of Kievan Rus's claim to be the inheritor of Byzantine Christian civilization, whose golden dome, 11th-century mosaics, and 260 frescoes constitute the most important surviving ensemble of medieval Byzantine art outside Constantinople itself, where the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra, the Monastery of the Caves, whose underground labyrinths contain the mummified remains of saints and monks venerated by Orthodox Christians across the Slavic world, and the Golden Gate of Yaroslav the Wise rebuilt in the Soviet period on the original 11th-century foundations give Kyiv its character as the spiritual and cultural wellspring of Slavic Orthodox civilization, and where Kyiv's resilience and courage in the face of the Russian invasion of 2022 have made the city a symbol of Ukrainian national determination and democratic resolve for the entire world.
