Lisova (Kyiv Metro)
Lisova ( uk, Лісова, ) is the terminus station of the Sviatoshynsko-Brovarska Line on the Kyiv Metro. It opened on 5 December 1979. It is also the last surface station in Kyiv. The extension to Lisova was built for reasons of Chernihivska's 1960s design proving incapable of handling mass crowds as a terminus, rather than the systematic expansion of Kyiv eastwards. Although for ease of construction the station was built on the surface, its architectural composition is nonetheless significantly different from the surface stations that precede it. The architecture (work of I.Maslenikov, T.Tselikovskaya, A.Krushinsky, N.Chuprina and others) feature innovations such as using escalators for ascending from an underground subway onto the platform. Decorations to the station include two rows of white marble faced pillars and between them a series of metallic artworks with ceramic and glass fillings (work of I.Levitskaya, Yu.Kislichenko and A.Sharay). Red and grey granite is used ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Desnianskyi District, Kyiv
Desnianskyi District ( uk, Деснянський район, translit. Desnians’kyi raion) is an administrative raion (district or borough) of the city of Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine. It is located in the north-eastern part of the city on the Left Bank of the Dnieper River and is the most populous district of Kyiv. It is also the second largest district, with the total area of ca. 14.2 ha. Desnianskyi District mainly consists of two microdistricts – Troieshchyna and Lisovyi – making it predominantly residential in nature. There is only one clear-cut, (yet small) industrial zone called Kulykove on the border with Dniprovskyi Raion. This fact explains why the district has the lowest number of registered business entities among Kyiv raions. Much like commuter town, therefore, Desnianskyi District has very little commercial or industrial activity beyond a small amount of retail, oriented toward serving the locals. However, it differs from commuter towns in that it for ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Chernihivska (Kyiv Metro)
Chernihivska ( uk, Чернiгiвська, ) is a Kyiv Metro station on the Sviatoshynsko-Brovarska Line. The station was built as a single extension to the newer housing massifs built on the eastern edge of Kyiv. Located next to the intersection of Brovary Avenue and Bratislava Street, it is a surface station built to the identical design that was popular throughout the Soviet Union at the time, matching five stations on the Moscow Metro (such as Bagrationovskaya) and one on Tbilisi Metro ( Dibube). Chernihivska's design (architects I. Maslenikov, V. Bogdanovskaya, T. Tselikovskaya) consists of two levels, a lower platform level and an upper street level. The latter is made with two square glazed vestibules standing opposite a road flyover that crosses perpendicular to the platform alignment. As a result, on the platform level there is no canopy as such; however, the need for the support of the structure requires a span of pillars on the centreline that are fac ...

Raion
A raion (also spelt rayon) is a type of administrative unit of several post-Soviet states. The term is used for both a type of subnational entity and a division of a city. The word is from the French (meaning 'honeycomb, department'), and is commonly translated as "district" in English. A raion is a standardized administrative entity across most of the former Soviet Union and is usually a subdivision two steps below the national level, such as a subdivision of an oblast. However, in smaller USSR republics, it could be the primary level of administrative division. After the fall of the Soviet Union, some of the republics kept the ''raion'' (e.g. Azerbaijan, Belarus, Ukraine, Russia, Moldova, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan) while others dropped it (e.g. Georgia, Uzbekistan, Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, Armenia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan). In Bulgaria, it refers to an internal administrative subdivision of a city not related to the administrative division of the country as a whole, or, i ...

Railway Stations Opened In 1979
Rail transport (also known as train transport) is a means of transport that transfers passengers and goods on wheeled vehicles running on rails, which are incorporated in tracks. In contrast to road transport, where the vehicles run on a prepared flat surface, rail vehicles (rolling stock) are directionally guided by the tracks on which they run. Tracks usually consist of steel rails, installed on sleepers (ties) set in ballast, on which the rolling stock, usually fitted with metal wheels, moves. Other variations are also possible, such as "slab track", in which the rails are fastened to a concrete foundation resting on a prepared subsurface. Rolling stock in a rail transport system generally encounters lower frictional resistance than rubber-tyred road vehicles, so passenger and freight cars (carriages and wagons) can be coupled into longer trains. The operation is carried out by a railway company, providing transport between train stations or freight customer facilit ...
