Kiev City Duma building

Kiev City Duma building

The Kiev City Duma building housed Kiev's City Duma (council) before World War II. The building was located on the then Dumska Square (now "Maidan Nezalezhnosti") of the Khreschatyk street and stood in the centre of it.

A statue of archangel Michael, the patron of Kiev, stood on the spire atop the building. After the Russian Revolution when the Soviets took power, the archangel was replaced with a five pointed star. During World War II, the building was heavily damaged during bombings of Kiev, and was not rebuilt in post-war years.
