history

Pechersk is one of the most important cultural areas of Kiev and the home of the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra , from which the name Pechersk is derived ( Pechera means cave in Ukrainian ). The settlement near the monastery was founded in the 12th century and renamed Pechersk during the 16th or 17th centuries . From the 18th to the middle of the 20th century it was the administrative seat of the city of Kiev.

In January 1918, the area was the center of the January uprising in the Arsenal Works , which, despite its suppression, contributed significantly to the defeat of the Ukrainian armed forces and the surrender of the city of Kiev to the Soviet-Russian army under Colonel Mikhail Muravyov .

Pechersk has also been the political center of the city since the 1930s and the term “Pechersk Hill” has become synonymous with the Ukrainian government and the political elite.
