This small book was born from the appendix to my big book, "Heresies about Kyiv" - some readers remember there a kind of dictionary at the end, which disappeared in one of the editions of the book. In fact, he did not disappear, but was sidelined and began to be supplemented, turning into independent work. I do not really like reference books, they destroy the spatial representation of the area, because the information in them is ordered alphabetically, and not, say, from south to north or from west to east. However, alphabetical ordering allows you to quickly find the article you want.
