I would be glad to assist you with that but my English is not really good, as you can see ;) so I will proceed in lurking mode, which is familiar for you :)) --

Hi pavlosh. Thanks for your interest! If you want, feel free to insert the text in either Russian or Ukrainian and I would be able to translate it into English. As I mentioned somewhere before, I haven't lived in Kiev for 10 years (although I have visited it several times), so you probably know modern Kiev much better than I do. It would be great if you could add something about the people - what they like to do (did it change since the 90s?), new places of interest that opened (new opera, theater, whatever), information about the new "microbuses" that are doing better than the public yellow busses, and so on. :) --
mno July 8, 2005 17:35 (UTC)
Hi mno! OK, I will try to do "my best" :)
As for now:
No new opera
Theaters - there is more than 20 (someabout 23: 5 "academic" and 17+ municipal). Regretfully I'm not the expert in that…
People spend much more time in cafe, restaurant, night club (it's not that "night clubs" that was in "90s") just for dancing
I actually meant this list (opera, museum, theater) as a general example so that something small doesn't get listed. I like your last point, about people spending more time in Cafe, etc. That's something that's definitely "modern Kiev".
Looks like it was taken just recently. The quality really is amazing. Of course, probably that is because the image size has been reduced to increase the quality. But still, amazing. -- mno 21:42, July 23, 2005 (UTC)
No it is not because of reduced size. Did you check the link to the 9M pixel scan at
Image:Prokudin-Gorskii-19-v2.png. Prokudin-Gorskii was probably using a large format camera so he had plenty of resolution - the trick is in his experimentation with emulsion linearity to get acurate colour reproduction. And more particular his use of three exposures for each colour filter, which limited him to fairly static subjects. If you look carefully, some of the images have registration problems.
There is also a fair bit of skill in digitally recombining the plates to get effective reproductions. To see the raw negatives and recombined images for Black Sea picture go to

Hi Mno. Nice to meet a dedicated
Kiev developer. Regarding the map you added there: unfortunately, it doesn't reflect the river - which is rather important in understanding the city's subdivision. Would you "split" the map with the Dnieper following the respective raion limits line?
Ukrained 19:19, 27 December 2005 (UTC)reply
Hi Ukrained, I've made an image as you have asked. It's available here:
Image:Kiev_map_numbers.png I can provide some other versions, as you need, also. So just ask ;) Cheers.
mno 04:52, 28 December 2005 (UTC)reply
Hi. I do need new versions :) (being a little dumb in image processing). Take a look at my talk.
Ukrained 11:07, 28 December 2005 (UTC)reply
It's just great.
Ukrained 22:06, 28 December 2005 (UTC)reply
Feel free to ask for any other maps you may need. Cheers.

Please don't be discouraged by old grumbling me. I am sure you can make good contributions to wikipedia, since I know Russians and Ukrainians have a pretty thick skin.
mikka(t) 21:17, 1 March 2006 (UTC)reply
Oh no, not at all. Don't worry. I was just a bit offended about questioning my knowledge of languages (especially since I do say so on my page). I guess the reason for my skipping the basic definition was because it was very obvious to me and I went ahead and added some other points instead. My bad, I understand and acknowledge that.

Hey Dima, sure, not a problem. I was meaning to redraw all the maps I drew anyways, as they're not _all_ that great :) --
mno 23:35, 1 September 2006 (UTC)reply
OK, thanks, that will help a lot. I have just started to renovate
Podil and would like to greatly expand it, would you like to participate (if it is not too much work for you already)? BTW, what program do you use to draw the maps? I have
Inkscape by am horrible at drawing with it... —
dima/s-ko/ 23:55, 1 September 2006 (UTC)reply
I use Paint Shop Pro. People would probably yell at me that it sucks, but I don't think it's too bad. What's important is the fact that I've been using it since version 4 (it's at v 10 now) and know it very well.
Do you need any specific help, or are you just looking for input into the article? Funny, but I was also considering doing a lot to it a few days ago :) --
mno 01:31, 2 September 2006 (UTC)reply
Oh, I see. I was looking for more input into the article, like history (perhaps even a
History of Podol article because of the large amount of info on the topic...), elaborate more on the neighbourhood's architecture and attractions, etc. Thanks, —
dima/s-ko/ 22:38, 2 September 2006 (UTC)reply
On a different topic, do you think that any of
these images that I took are fit for
WP:FP? I see you have some experience with images and would like to know your opinion. —
dima/s-ko/ 23:17, 2 September 2006 (UTC)reply
Hi Dima, I've looked over your photos; there are some that are very interesting. For example,
Image:Chicago_River_from_Suntimesd.JPG,
Image:Kievview2007.jpg,
Image:LimmatZurich d.JPG (this one's very good!),
Image:SophiaBelltower.JPG. Perhaps, we can try to go for FA with the latter two, esp the Zurich one. The Kiev one would have been great, except that the detail isn't there, just a general view. I am not sure about the Chicago one, as I don't see anything particularly exciting in it, although the river does create some kind of line that brings everything together. You can always try to put a picture forward and see where it goes. I'm by no means an expert :)
I am currently working on a new map of Kiev. Do you have any good maps that show where the boundaries of the raions are? I have a relatively decent satellite photo from Google Maps that I stitched together from many shots, but it needs to be coloured over and outlined now. I also want to lay the metro stations along the streets (I tried doing this before, but couldn't get a map that was correct, and the different versions contradicted each other - and as I don't have an actual street map of Kiev, it's difficult to guess where is what from above :)). --
mno 19:23, 3 September 2006 (UTC)reply
I don't particularly have any good maps, or they are all too big to scan... Here is an online map of Kiev:
[1] of Kiev, but it doesn't work now (at least for me). Here is another one:
[2] (I think it has raion divisions, but I have not looked at it closely). Otherwise I have not come across any good maps of the city. —
dima/s-ko/ 22:13, 3 September 2006 (UTC)reply
OK, yes, go ahead with the Zurich one. The one of St Michael's is good, but like the other Kiev one, it's not sharp enough when you see it at full size. Perhaps resize it to 1024 and sharpen it a bit before you submit it?
In terms of maps, I'm waiting for Google to finally finish Kiev. They are working on
Moscow, but it may still be some time. Right now, the Moscow map looks a bit weird with all those numbers everywhere. It's a bit different to do a mapping service for a Western/American culture and for a post-Soviet one :) Regardless, I am using their
Kiev satellite photos to draw my version. I know about UAzone, there's also one at kiev2000.com or something like that. It's all done by one company and leased out, some interfaces work better than others. --
mno 22:28, 3 September 2006 (UTC)reply
OK, I'll go ahead with the Zurich one. But do you know, if the image is uploaded on Commons, does it have to be re-uploaded to Wikipedia in order for it to be featured on Wikipedia? Good luck on drawing the maps, —
dima/s-ko/ 03:45, 4 September 2006 (UTC)reply
No clue about if the image has to be re-uploaded here; I tend to think that yes, because I think you get FP locally for each language on WP, rather than globally for all languages. Not sure though. You should upload to en, submit for FP and then note that the image also exists in commons and ask if you can change the vote to commons pic instead of en pic in your request. --

Sorry about the delays with the map. I'm currently preparing to go back to university so have a few things to finish before I leave. I'm still working on the map :) ···MNO (
