It would mean nothing to you unless you read Golden Calf book, or at least watch a movie. There are good subtitles available in English (including subtle humour translation) and you would learn a lot about former USSR early years
2. Vydubychi Monastery

As written in other reviews, this is a great place for a quiet spiritual experience. Unlike I read in many reviews, the monastery is easily reached from the Druzhby Narodiy metro station. No need to walk along the high way, the botanical garden is 10 minutes from the metro station and leads you right into the monastery. There is a 50 hryvnia entrance fee for the botanical garden, which is worth, it's really nice and has a small church itself that you can visit before arriving at the monastery.

Absolutely worth a visit. Unbelievable to imagine the horrors that took place at this park in Kyiv during WWII. Parking was relatively easy and there is a metro stop nearby.

Well worth a visit- lovely blue with golden domes, slightly flying buttresses and detailed colorful paintings of saints adorn the outside. The inside is quite ornate but rather busy.
