major chemical institutes of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. Overview Today, the term Darnytsia is sometimes broadly (but incorrectly) applied to the entire Left Bank area of Kyiv, except the distant areas of Vyhurivschyna-Troieshchyna to the North and Pozniaky to the South. Formally, the district underwent many border changes, and today encompasses approximately one-third of the Left Bank. A planned district change could make Darnytsia district either expand to encompass half of the Left Bank area or cease to exist being redistributed between Desnianskyi District and Dniprovskyi District. Neighborhood The Darnytsia neighborhood borders are generally understood to be: Mykil'ska Slobidka, Rusanivka Island and Berezniaky to the West Voskresenka, Troyeshchyna and Lisovyi masyv to the North Bykivnia neighborhood and the town of Bortnychi to the East Pozniaky, Osokorky and Kharkivskyi masyvs to the South See also Subdivisions of Kyiv New Darnytskyi Bridge References External links darn.kyivcity.gov.ua - Darnytskyi Raion Administration website Дарниця in Wiki-Encyclopedia Kyiv Urban districts of Kyiv
