Kyiv City Council (Ukrainian: Київська міська рада, romanized: Kyivska miska rada [ˈkɪjiu̯sʲkɐ mʲiˈsʲka ˈradɐ]), also known as Kyivrada (Ukrainian: Київрада), is the city council of Kyiv municipality, the highest representative body of the city community.
[6] Empress of Russia Catherine the Great's municipal reform created Kyiv's city council in 1780.
[8] The first post-Soviet democratic elections of the Kyiv City Council took place on 4 March 1990.
[10] Beginning with 2004, 23 August is celebrated as the Day of the National Flag (in all Ukraine).
[11][10] During the Euromaidan-protest from 1 December 2013 till 16 February 2014 Kyiv's Town Hall was occupied by protesters; this forced the City Council to meet in the Solomianka Raion state administration building instead.
