Chervony Khutir (Kyiv Metro)
Chervonyi Khutir ( uk, Червоний хутір, ) is the terminus station of the Kyiv Metro's Syretsko-Pecherska Line. It opened on 23 May 2008. The station's name arises from an old village " Chervonyi Khutir" that was subsequently absorbed into Kyiv city limits and is now an industrial neighbourhood. The station is located amidst a woodland and at first was unlikely to have any passengers at all. However, there is currently a much greater need for the station because it is right next Kyiv's third depot, ''Kharkivske'', which has been a much-needed acquisition to the line since the mid-1990s, yet due to financial difficulties caused by recessions, construction only began in 2004. Chervonyi Khutir is also part of much larger plan to have the line snake around the south-eastern districts of Kyiv and then come back up north-westwards towards the new Darnytsia Railway Station and the Darnytsia metro station of the Sviatoshynsko-Brovarska Line. In the meantime, the surrounding ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Kyiv Metro Stations
Kyiv, also spelled Kiev, is the capital and most populous city of Ukraine. It is in north-central Ukraine along the Dnieper River. As of 1 January 2021, its population was 2,962,180, making Kyiv the seventh-most populous city in Europe. Kyiv is an important industrial, scientific, educational, and cultural center in Eastern Europe. It is home to many high-tech industries, higher education institutions, and historical landmarks. The city has an extensive system of public transport and infrastructure, including the Kyiv Metro. The city's name is said to derive from the name of Kyi, one of its four legendary founders. During its history, Kyiv, one of the oldest cities in Eastern Europe, passed through several stages of prominence and obscurity. The city probably existed as a commercial center as early as the 5th century. A Slavic settlement on the great trade route between Scandinavia and Constantinople, Kyiv was a tributary of the Khazars, until its capture by the Varang ...

Syrets (Kyiv Metro)
Syrets ( uk, Сире́ць, ) is a Kyiv Metro station on the Syretsko-Pecherska Line. Opened in 2004, it is the northwestern terminus. Traditionally all of the Metro stations in Kyiv were built in several stages including a few stations each (sometimes delivered in various segments). The Syretsky radius was started in the early 1990s, in the midst of economic hardships as a result of which, not only was it many years behind schedule it was also very slow to open new stations. Syrets was originally to be the fifth station on the radius, but as Lvivska Brama (Kyiv Metro), Lvivska Brama never opened and Vulytsia Hertsena was left as a provision, it became the third on the radius when it opened to the public on 14 October 2004. The station is not in the vicinity of houses, but is right next to the Syrets railway station, Syrets railway platform, and as a result most of its passengers are commuters coming from further northwestern districts of the city rather than local residents (whi ...

Visual Impairment
Visual impairment, also known as vision impairment, is a medical definition primarily measured based on an individual's better eye visual acuity; in the absence of treatment such as correctable eyewear, assistive devices, and medical treatment– visual impairment may cause the individual difficulties with normal daily tasks including reading and walking. Low vision is a functional definition of visual impairment that is chronic, uncorrectable with treatment or correctable lenses, and impacts daily living. As such low vision can be used as a disability metric and varies based on an individual's experience, environmental demands, accommodations, and access to services. The American Academy of Ophthalmology defines visual impairment as the best-corrected visual acuity of less than 20/40 in the better eye, and the World Health Organization defines it as a presenting acuity of less than 6/12 in the better eye. The term blindness is used for complete or nearly complete vision loss. In ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
