City in the East
Ukraine. Nicknamed as "First capital", cause it was the first capital of Ukrainian Soviet Republic - direct
predecessor of modern Ukraine. Large and powerful city (
commerce, education, industry, science), second city by population in Ukraine and 29th (by metropolitan area population) in Europe. Lots of places of interest (e.g. Freedom Square - 9th largest in a world, Gosprom building - formerly largest in Europe, plenty of antique buildings, etc).
