Kyiv entrance halls have their own design and arrangement traditions. In profitable homes of the 18th and 19th centuries they were usually locked and cleaned at the owner's expense, the buildings were well cleaned and lit. The mass construction of Soviet times introduced an open passage through the stairs. The latest Kyiv trend is coded locks and security at the entrance to residential buildings. But the love for elegant entrances has now acquired a special form.  Activists use anything for decoration: from eclectic baroque style molding to modern ethno-stylistic graffiti paintings - huts, embroidery, sunflowers.
