Description

<p><br />

One of the earliest photos of Kyiv<br />

depicts the arrival of the first train at the Kyiv train station.<br />

Only one track was built at that time. Tricoloured flags of the<br />

Russian Empire can be seen on the train and on the newly constructed<br />

train station building. There are human figures on the carriages; one<br />

can see an open carriage in the middle of the train.</p><p>Olga Martyniuk</p>
