About this audio guide
This guide to Feofaniya Park on the southern edge of Kyiv follows Sergei Lebedev and his engineers through the autumn of nineteen fifty, when a battered former convent building in these woods held a room-sized machine of glowing glass tubes. It touches on Bishop Feofan, who gave the tract its name, and on the families who come here today simply to get away. Best heard on the paths between the ponds.
