Yevreiskyi bazar/Yevbaz (which means Jewish Market) is an old name of a market square, which is called Peremohy square now. It was considered the biggest commercial center in Kyiv for nearly a 100 years, up to the middle of the 20th century. It’s worth noting that at the time when the square was coming to be, it was called Halytska. The Jewish community could carry on trade here on a given day of the week. That’s how the name came to be. The prices were moderate and the atmosphere was friendly and fun. Yevbaz helped Kyiv citizens to survive revolutions and wars, as there was an exchange market, so called “flea market”. The old vivid brick building on the adjoining streets is an only reminder of those times.
