Kyiv. Maidan Nezalezhnosti (Independence Square). How it was before.

Maidan Nezalezhnosti is the central square of Kyiv. It is located on Kreshchatyk Street. The square has been known under many different names, but often it is called simply Maidan.
The pictures was made during my trip to Ukraine in May month, 2013. And they are like "drawings" for everyday life of people of Kyiv and the square itself.
