Sviatoshynskyi District

Sviatoshynskyi District is an administrative region in western Kyiv that spans a large area and includes several neighborhoods as well as the village of Kotsiubynske. The area is served by multiple metro stations that provide important connections, and contains a mix of residential neighborhoods, public facilities, and green spaces.

The district received its current name in 2001 as part of Kyiv's administrative restructuring, replacing a previous designation. This name change reflected broader changes in how the city organized and identified its administrative divisions.

The district maintains a strong connection to Ukrainian language and identity in its everyday life and local spaces. This linguistic presence shapes how residents interact and gives the area a distinct character.

The district offers multiple metro stations for easy navigation and transportation, along with schools, hospitals, and sports facilities for various activities throughout the area. Good infrastructure makes it straightforward to explore different parts and move easily to other parts of the city.

Within the district lies Kotsiubynske village, which functions as an administrative enclave of the neighboring city of Irpin, showing an unusual boundary arrangement. This distinctive setup is a rare example of Kyiv's complex administrative geography and how city boundaries developed over time.
