Subdivisions of Kyiv

Subdivisions of Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine, include the formal administrative subdivision into urban districts (raions) and the more detailed informal subdivision into historical neighborhoods. Kyiv is divided in two halves split by Dnieper, therefore there exist two important parts "left-bank Kyiv" which is the newer addition and "right-bank Kyiv" in reference to the Dnieper, which is the original Kyiv city.
