Майдан (площадь) Независимости - это сердце Киева, которое всегда бьется в унисон с ритмом жизни его горожан. Именно здесь происходят все значимые мероприятия города и государства: концерты, выступления, митинги и т.д. Майдан никогда не спит. И хотя точное время на часах Дома Профсоюзов (справа) вряд ли можно разглядеть, но по количеству транспорта, движущегося по Майдану, всегда можно определить час-пик в самом центре столицы

Maidan Nezalezhnosti (Ukrainian: Ìàéäàí Íåçàëåæíîñò³, literally: Independence Square) is the central square of Kiev, the capital city of Ukraine. One of the main city squares, it is located on the Khreschatyk Street. The square was known under many different names but it became prominent as simply as the Maidan due to the political events that took place there in 2004 after the Ukrainian accession to independence. Throughout its history the square was called by several different names. The area was known since the time of Kievan Rus', but it was not populated or developed until the 18th century, when stone-made fortified walls were constructed. The walls known as Pecherski Gates stood until 1833. Until the late 18th century – early 19th century, the area was a vacant ground known as Goat Swamp (Kozyne Boloto)
