About this piece
This is a special issue of Odnoklassnik, a Ukrainian-language magazine published in Kyiv in 1992. The cover features a hand-coloured lithograph of the cityscape dominated by St Michael’s Golden-Domed Monastery, with characteristic chalk cliffs in the foreground — a classic Kyiv vista. The title reads “Спогади про Київ” (Reminiscences about Kyiv), and the interior includes both Ukrainian and English text exploring the city’s history and landmarks.
The publication reflects the early post-Soviet period, when Ukrainian cultural identity and publishing were re-emerging. Pages combine historical narrative with period photography and illustration. The cream paper and ornamental Art Nouveau borders evoke the style of older Ukrainian journals, grounding the contemporary publication in cultural continuity. Covers show light wear consistent with age and handling; pages are clean and legible. An engaging window into 1990s Ukrainian print culture and Kyiv’s heritage.
