Desna district

Statistical information

The Rajon Desna ( Ukrainian Деснянський район Desnjanskyj rayon , Russian Деснянский район Desnjanski rayon ) is one of ten counties ( Rajone ) the city of Kiev , capital of Ukraine . It is located in the north-eastern part of the city and, with the exception of Muromets Island , on the left Dneprufer and with 369,514 inhabitants (as of 2020) is the most populous and with an area of about 148 km² the second largest administrative district of Kiev. The population density is 2490 inhabitants per km².

The name is derived from the Desna river , which flows into the Dnieper north of the district. The Rajon was created in late 1987. In the west the Stadtrajon borders on the Dnieper, in the north on the municipal area of Pohreby and Sasymja , in the east on Kalyniwka and the city of Brovary and in the south on the Stadtrajon Dnipro .

Trojeschchyna residential complex in the Desna district

Desna Rajon consists mainly of two districts, Trojeschtschyna and Lissowyj, and is predominantly a residential area. There is only a small industrial area on the border with Dnipro Raion. This explains why the district has the lowest number of registered business units among Kiev's Rajons. Similar to satellite towns , Desna Rajon therefore has very few commercial or industrial establishments and only a few retail establishments serving to supply local residents. However, it differs from satellite cities as it forms an official part of the city. Nevertheless, its currently weak transport links with most of the city on the right bank make the Rajon appear as a "city within the city", which is particularly true of the residential complex in the Trojeschchyna district. In the east of the Rajons lies the Diamantsee , behind which a pine forest extends to the city limits.

Among other things, Muromets Island and the North Bridge are located in the Rajon .
