THE KYIVAN RUS PARK
“The Kyivan Rus Park” is a place of architectural and historical reconstruction, which recreates the structures and spirit of Ancient Kyiv of the V-ХIII centuries. The park occupies an area of 50 hectares in the picturesque Kopachiv area, near Kyiv. Here you can see the restoration of the architectural image of the historical center of Kyiv, known as Dytynets or Grad of Volodymyr. The construction is carried out in a full scale of 1: 1, taking into account the achievements of modern science. The purpose of the project is to investigate the influence of Kyivan Rus on the formation of civilization processes.
The project is implemented by the “Slavic Foundation” charitable organization.
