May 28 Day of Kyiv. It falls annually on the last Sunday of May. The capital of Ukraine has a long and eventful history. Its origins are hidden in the gray of antiquity. Stone and bone tools, as well as the remains of primitive buildings, were found on the territory of the modern city. All this indicates that the first human settlements appeared here even before the Late Paleolithic era (approximately 40-15 thousand years BC).
The year 482 is considered to be the recognized date of foundation of Kyiv as a city. However, there are still disputes about this. Some hold a different opinion and believe that the capital of Ukraine was created in the 6th – 7th centuries. According to the “Tale of Bygone Years” (chronology of the 12th century), the city was founded by three brothers who were the leaders of the Polyan tribe (Kiy, Chek and Horiv), as well as their sister Lybidya. Each formed a small settlement on the hills, which later merged into one city. He was named after his older brother, Kyiv.
