Podil: A great place to walk off stress Even before the inhabitants of Kyiv started walking around with gauze masks on their faces to avoid catching the flu, the city seemed to suffer from a lack of oxygen. Not long ago praised as one of Europe’s greenest urban centers, the medieval town is now besieged by cars and their aggressive drivers, who sometimes recall ancient steppe warriors in their contempt for civilized pedestrians.

It’s a common belief that sunny weather is most suitable for a pleasant walk in the city. While working on this article, I decided to take a stroll once again along Velyka (Big) and Mala (Small) Zhytomyrska streets – or more like wade through them.
