Rusanivka

Rusanivka (Ukrainian: Русанівка) is a man-made island and neighbourhood surrounded by a canal, the Rusanivs'kyi Kanal.

[2] The Entuziastiv Street and Rusanivs'ka Naberezhna (embankment) form the perimeter of Rusanivka.

It was envisaged, during creation of this neighbourhood, that the area would be served by two main types of public transportation – buses and river boats on Dnieper and canal – so private cars would not be necessary for the residents.

In reality, mass transit based on river boats proved uneconomical and was discontinued.

The island is known for its dancing fountains at the canal open from spring till autumn every year.
