Pozniaky

Pozniaky (Ukrainian: Позняки) is a historical neighbourhood, a residential area and the remains of a village on the territory of the Darnitskyi district, on the left bank of Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine.

It is located between the Dnieper, the railway, Revutsky Street and Mykola Bazhan Avenue.

It is known that the Poznyak family (including Leonty and Moses) owned the village of Pankivshchina on the left bank of the Dnieper (probably the former possessions of the Pankovichi), which was also called Poznyakovshchina.

In 1631, this village was transferred (or sold) to the Metropolitan of Kyiv Petro Mohyla, who, in turn, donated it to the Brotherhood Monastery.

Since the 1st half of the 20th century, Poznyaki has been divided into Old and New (most of them were located on the territory of the modern industrial zone).
