Vydubychi

Geographically constituting a hill and a valley on the Right (western) Bank of the Dnipro River, it is now a part of the Pechersk district of the city.

Paul of Aleppo wrote about the enthusiasm that prevailed in Ukraine in the middle of the seventeenth century: "The people are triumphant, they believe in the beginning of a peaceful life and are in a hurry to restore their homes, fortifications, and churches."

In the 1690s, Starodubsky Colonel Mykhailo Myklashevsky, following the lead of Hetman Ivan Mazepa, who was a great builder and patron of the arts, built St. George's Church, the Savior's Refectory, and a two-story fraternal building in the Vydubychi Monastery.

In 1727-1733, Hetman Danylo Apostol built the entrance gate, bell tower, and stone wall around the monastery.

The lower part of Vydubychi has evolved in a giant intermodal transport hub comprising the Kyiv Metro Syretsko–Pecherska line[1] Vydubychi metro station, two railway stops Vydubychi railway station serving east bound trains, the Kyiv Urban Electric Train and the Kyiv Boryspil Express, and Vydubychi-Trypilski serving south bound trains, the Vydubychi bus terminal, two multi-level grade-separated interchanges: motorway interchange and railway interchange.
