Original artwork description:

Picture from the series "Kyiv, which no longer exists". This series of paintings are about buildings that have unfortunately not survived and also about the outstanding people who built this beauty.
I saw this house in old photos of my city in Kyiv. It was House # 1 on the main street of Kyiv - Khreshchatyk.
At the end of the nineteenth century, the Slavonic House was to appear after the dreams of the singer and choral conductor D. Agrenev - Slavyansky. But as a lucrative house. The square in front of it was called Tsarsky.

In Soviet times, this house was radically rebuilt and changed into a strict "Stalin's overcoat." And he became the Defense House. of M. Frunze, and the square in front of it - Area III International.

In September 1941, this house was burned during a fire on Khreshchatyk. And then the square was called Adolf Hitler Square.

In the 1960s the Dnipro Hotel was built on this place, and since 1996 the square has been European.
Now this place lost its beauty.
