Kiev City Duma building, City council building in central Khreschatyk, Ukraine

The three-story brick building featured a distinctive spire topped with a statue of Archangel Michael, created by sculptor Yeva Kulikovska.

Constructed in 1878 under architect Aleksandr Shile's design with a budget of 180,000 rubles, the building served as Kyiv's administrative center.

The building represented the transition of power through different regimes, as shown by the replacement of the Archangel Michael statue with a Soviet star.

Located at coordinates 50.4507, 30.5244, the building stood at Dumskaya Ploschad, now known as Maidan Nezalezhnosti in central Kyiv.

The structure met its end during World War II in 1941 when NKVD troops caused explosions on Khreschatyk street, leading to its permanent destruction.

Location: Kyiv

Architects: Aleksander Shile
