Ukraine Kiev Vydubychi Monastery
The monastery was established between 1070 and 1077 by Vsevolod, son of Yaroslav the Wise. It was a family cloister of Vsevolod's son Vladimir Monomakh and his descendants.
The monastery, and the neighbourhood in present-day Kiev where it is located, was named after an old Slavic legend about the pagan god Perun and the Grand Prince Vladimir the Great of Kiev. The word Vydubychi comes from the word Vydobychi → Vydobych → Vydobech (Ukrainian: Видобичі → Видобич → Видобеч) which means to swim up, emerge from water.
The legend has it that Vladimir ordered the wooden figures of Perun (the Thunder God) and other pagan gods dumped into the Dnieper River during the mass Baptism of Kiev. The disheartened Kievans, though accepting the baptism, ran along the Dnieper River calling for the old gods to emerge from water (Перуне выдуби!). Accordingly, the area down the river stream where Perun emerged was named Vydubichu or Vydubychi in modern Ukrainian.
Chimes at the Vydubychi Monastery, Kiev, Ukraine
Right in the heart of the botanical gardens is this secluded monastery.
The chiming of the bells reminds me of Indonesian gamelan.

STORYLINE:
The remains of 190 people were discovered at a monastery in western Ukraine that was used by the Soviet secret police after World War II, investigators said on Thursday.
The remains - including those of 70 children, some less than one year old - were discovered by monks restoring a Greek Catholic monastery in Zhovkva, 570 kilometers (340 miles) west of the capital Kiev, said Mykhailo Pavlyshyn, a leader of a team of experts investigating the burial site.
Monks doing maintenance work found the remains, along with some postwar photographs, in three rooms at the monastery that had been sealed off with bricks.
Investigators said the monastery was occupied by Nazi forces during World War II and later by the N-K-V-D, the predecessor to the K-G-B or secret police.
The building was also used as a medical school, Pavlyshyn said.
Experts on Soviet-era repressions who have been to the site suspect the remains belonged to victims of the N-K-V-D, which persecuted millions of Soviet citizens, but say it is too early to tell for sure.
However, he said there was little hope of proving N-K-V-D responsibility beyond doubt, since N-K-V-D records of the time were moved to Moscow, where they are still classified.
