About this audio guide
This guide to Andriivskyi Descent in Kyiv follows one week in April 2012, when the cobbled street between Saint Andrew's Church and Podil was halfway through an official reconstruction. It turns on a clash between the country's richest man and the Kyivans who had been told, in public and more than once, that the old buildings here were safe. Best heard standing near the Bulgakov Museum, partway down the slope.
