시내엔 슬라비 민족의 중심이었던 키예프 공국을 상징하는 두개의 건축물이 있다. 소피아성당과 동굴대수도원이다. 드네푸르강 절벽 언덕위에 위치한 동굴대수도원 유일하게 남은 입구인 삼위일체 교회를 통과하니 마치 작은 마을과도 같은 풍경이 펼쳐졌다. 이곳은 1051년 동굴에서 수도 생활을 하던 두 명의 수도승이 동굴위에 사원을 지은 데서 기원했다. 이후 900년에 걸쳐 여러 교회와 수도원 건물이 들어서며 마을처럼 군락을 이룬 현재의 모습을 갖추게 됐다. 수도원이 생길 당시는 키예프 공국이 영토를 확장하고 그리스 정교가 급속히 퍼져나가던 시기였다. 사회문화적으로 절정기를 맞았던 키예프 공국. 그 영광의 흔적은 수도원 곳곳에 남아있다. 이 위대한 문화유산 역시 2차 대전 중 폭격으로 파괴되었다가 우크라이나의 독립과 함께 복원되었다.

SUMMARY
=======
The Ukrainian Orthodox Church – Kiev Patriarchate (UOC-KP; Ukrainian: Украї́нська Правосла́вна Це́рква – Ки́ївський Патріарха́т (УПЦ-КП), translit. Ukrayínsʹka Pravoslávna Tsérkva – Kýyivsʹkyy Patriarkhát (UPTs-KP)) is one of the three major Orthodox churches in Ukraine, alongside the Ukrainian Church of the Moscow Patriarchate (which is a part of the Russian Orthodox Church), and the Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox Church (UAOC).As a jurisdiction, the Kiev Patriarchate is unrecognised by the canonical Eastern Orthodox churches and is regarded as a schismatic grouping by the Moscow Patriarchate. Nevertheless, the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople Bartholomew in early September 2018 indicated that the Church of Constantinople does not recognise the Moscow Patriarchate's claim to ecclesiastical jurisdiction over the region of today's Metropolis of Kiev; the decision by the Ecumenical Patriarchate of 11 October 2018 formally abrogated the legal consequences of the handover of the Kiev metropolis to Moscow effected in 1686, and thus de jure restored its ecclesiastical jurisdiction over Ukraine recognizing the bishops of the Kiev Patriarchate, along with those of the other two major jurisdictions, as canonical bishops of the Ecumenical throne of Constantinople.The St. Volodymyr's Cathedral in Kiev is the patriarchal cathedral of the UOC-KP. The primate of the church is Patriarch Filaret (Denysenko), who was enthroned in 1995. Filaret (Denysenko) was excommunicated by the Russian Orthodox Church in 1997, but the Synod and Sobor of the UOC-KP do not recognize this action.
Following the Synod of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople of 9–11 October 2018 Filaret (Denysenko) was canonically reinstated and the decision was made to proceed with the granting of autocephaly to the Church of Ukraine. As a consequence, the Kiev Patriarchate and the Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox Church are planning to merge with pro-independence bishops of the Moscow Patriarchate into an independent (autocephalous) Ukrainian Orthodox Church, which is expected to receive a tomos—an ecclesiastical decree on autocephaly by the Holy Synod of the Ecumenical Patriarchate.

SUMMARY
=======
The dissolution of the Soviet Union occurred on 26 December 1991, officially granting self-governing independence to the Republics of the Soviet Union (USSR). It was a result of the declaration number 142-Н of the Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union. The declaration acknowledged the independence of the former Soviet republics and created the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), although five of the signatories ratified it much later or did not do so at all. On the previous day, 25 December, Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev, the eighth and final leader of the Soviet Union, resigned, declared his office extinct and handed over its powers—including control of the Soviet nuclear missile launching codes—to Russian President Boris Yeltsin. That evening at 7:32 p.m., the Soviet flag was lowered from the Kremlin for the last time and replaced with the pre-revolutionary Russian flag.Previously, from August to December all the individual republics, including Russia itself, had either seceded from the union or at the very least denounced the Treaty on the Creation of the USSR. The week before formal dissolution, eleven republics signed the Alma-Ata Protocol formally establishing the CIS and declaring that the USSR had ceased to exist. Both the Revolutions of 1989 and the dissolution of the USSR also marked the end of the Cold War.
Several of the former Soviet republics have retained close links with the Russian Federation and formed multilateral organizations such as the Commonwealth of Independent States, Eurasian Economic Community, the Union State, the Eurasian Customs Union and the Eurasian Economic Union to enhance economic and security cooperation. On the other hand, the Baltic states have joined NATO and the European Union.
