Kyiv Oblast

The oblast extends across 28,100 square kilometers on both banks of the Dnieper River, containing 177 rivers and numerous forests with 250 tree species.

Created in February 1932 during the Soviet era, Kyiv Oblast emerged from lands previously governed under the Kiev Voivodeship and Kiev Governorate systems.

The region features the Pereiaslav Museum of Folk Architecture and the Saint Pokrov Church in Parkhomivka among its architectural and historical landmarks.

The territory divides into seven administrative districts with Bila Tserkva serving as the largest city, while Kyiv functions as the administrative center.

The northern section includes the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone, where public access remains restricted due to the nuclear incident of 1986.
