St. Andrew's Church
The Orthodox Church, which is not and never was a bell - and this is its uniqueness. Why do so - explains the ancient legend according to which Andrew on his way to Rome spent the night in the place where St. Andrew's Church is now located. There was the rise of the sea. After the apostle set on the mountain cross - sea mysteriously retreated, hiding at the foot of the mountain. It is believed that the sound of the bells to wake up and the water can flood not only Kyiv, but also all left-bank Ukraine. Because of harm's way, and the bells did not build.

Besides boutiques, concerts and perfect (by Ukrainian standards) asphalt covering Khreshchatyk is notable for some facts. Surprisingly, the place where the last 100 years committed significant events in Ukrainian history, is the shortest main street of the country in the world. Its length is about 1,300 meters. And even more surprising is that this time it is the widest main street in the world (Khreshchatyk width approximately 75 meters). By the way, an interesting detail: at the beginning of the last century the street was divided into two parts: on the even side of the decent people went and settled on the odd girl "prostitute." Lighting odd side was red, which corresponded to the liking of its inhabitants.
Kiev TV Tower also got into the list of world champions. Today, it is the tallest lattice structure. His height - 385 meters, which is 61 meters higher than the Eiffel Tower. This giant weighs Kiev three times less. Built in 1973, this TV tower became a technological breakthrough. The entire structure was built without the use of screws and rivets. Furthermore, the construction of the tower was conducted by rearing without using cranes and helicopters. All the structure is composed of pipes of different diameters.
Construction Kiev TV Tower.
In Kiev, is the world's second most visited McDonald's. On average, the institution at the metro station "Vokzalnaya" annually serves more than two million orders.
There is in Kiev and unique monuments. One of them - the world's only monument to the garbage truck. According to unofficial versions - initiated installation were members of one of the city sanitation companies, who have decided that their work is also worthy of respect. By the way, the profession of a scavenger is considered one of the most dangerous in the world (because of the risk of contracting diseases and infections), so this monument has a right to exist. But the official version of the appearance of the monument is set out on a memorial table at the pedestal.
Kiev is the best city in terms of transport not only in Ukraine, but throughout the former Soviet Union and even in the Russian Empire. First in Kiev (and throughout the Russian state) electric tram was put into operation even under Tsar Alexander III, in 1892. By the way, while the "mother of Russian cities" was among the first cities in terms of development. At the turn of the XIX and XX centuries in Kiev there was a European-type sewer, water, electric public transport, gas street lighting and other benefits of civilization. At that time a similar range of amenities could boast except St. Petersburg and Moscow.
The second achievement dates from 1978 tram year. Then in Kiev, opened the first Soviet high-speed tram line that runs to this day.
Kiev has left its mark in the best-selling book of our time. The most "heavy" record was set by cargo plane AN-225 "Mriya", which was designed and built at the Kiev plant "Aviant." Included in the world champions it was due to the fact that he was able to lift into the air a weight of 187, 6 tons. On landing the crew car was handed a certificate that witnessed record.
The Guinness Book of Records as the most horrible ring with lots of diamonds created by jewelers of Kiev. Luxurious white gold ring decorated with 2, 5 thousand. small diamonds. The weight of a stone is from 0, 001 to 0, 05 carats. The total weight of diamonds is 10, 48 carats. Decoration got romantic name "The Swan Princess" in honor of the famous paintings of the Russian artist Mikhail Vrubel, who lived and worked in the capital.
The longest telethon held leading "Channel 5" Tatiana Danilenko Paul Kuzheev. "Ukrainian independence", a program devoted to the 20th anniversary of Ukrainian independence, lasted for 52 hours. Talk-show "Channel 5", which went on for two days, from 23 to 25 August 2011, after the completion of the ether received a certificate, which confirms that this is the longest in the history of the telethon.
Sports records
We also have their athletic pride. The absolute champion of the USSR and won the championship of Ukraine is a football club "Dynamo" (13 tiutlov).
