Bringing an abandoned courtyard on Andriivskyi Descent back to life
The courtyard at 9 Andriivskyi Descent had been abandoned for about thirty years: thickets, rubble, rotten boards and rubbish under an old retaining wall. The entrance is from 11 Andriivskyi Descent.
In the spring of 2019 we took it on ourselves. We sawed down dead trees, dug out earth and rubbish and carted everything away in wheelbarrows. Friends, guides and their families came to help, and the youngest helpers hosed down an old red carpet.
A yellow radiation sign with the words CHERNOBYL HUB appeared on the wall. That is how the Hub got an address for the first time.
