Gourt Home::Gourt :: Kiev City Council
Kiev City Council or Kyivrada () is the city council of Kiev (Kyiv) municipality, the highest representative body of the city community. The members of city council are directly elected by Kievans and the council is chaired by the Mayor of Kiev (who is also directly elected in a separate election independent of the council election).
The council meets in a 1950s Kyivrada building constructed in neo-classical Stalinist architectural style on Kreschatyk, the city's main street.
The first ceremonial raising of the yellow-and-blue Ukrainian flag in modern times took place on July 24, 1990 at the flagstaff of Kyivrada, two years before the flag was restored as the National flag of the independent Ukrainian state (1992). The 1990 flag-raising and the spontaneous assembly became a major milestone in Ukraine's path to independence. July 24 was later marked as National Flag Day by independent Ukraine.
