Puscha-Vodytsia

Puscha-Vodytsia ( _uk. Пуща-Водиця; _ru. Пуща-Водица) is a historic neighbourhood and climate resort in the northwestern part of Kiev ("Kyiv"), the capital of Ukraine.

Puscha-Vodytsia was named in 1724; the name was combined from two Ukrainian words, "puscha" (пуща) which stands for a dense forest, and "Vodytsia" (Водиця) the name of a nearby river.

In 1899, a dacha settlement was founded in the Puscha-Vodytsia forests. Later on, Soviet sanatoriums were located in the settlement, as well as in other settlements nearby. In 1981, the village acquired the status of an urban-type settlement, subordinate to the Podilskyi Raion (district) of Kiev, later subordinated to the Obolonskyi Raion in 2002.

A 1910 church designed by Eduard Bradtman still stands in the city.
