“Why not? My generation was brought up in the tradition of subotnyky. When the snow melted Kyiv turned into a very messy and dirty city. We should be ashamed of the way it looks now. Even the central streets, not talking about the residential districts, look like dumpsters.”
Maria Plachynda
Student
“I would really like to participate! I would go if I knew when and where people gather. Kyiv is my native city and I care for the way it looks.”
Inna Paeta
Student
“People don’t like subotnyky because they are used to thinking of them as a waste of their private time. Therefore, subotnyky should be organized in a way that combines work and fun. For example, people can spend their morning cleaning a park and then go for a picnic together.”
Kateryna Andreyeva
Accountant
“We need them desperately! Nobody takes care of the appearance of the city, neither our mayor nor the people themselves. I would go, but I can’t do any hard work.”
Andriy Kozak
Designer
“The city should be cleaned up, but I don’t want to participate in sybotnyky for free. I think special workers, maybe people without a place of residence, should be involved in them.”
