■ History
It was opened in April 1970 as the biggest center of culture and arts. The building was primarily intended to serve as a venue for party congresses and events of the Communist Party of Ukraine, and secondarily as a concert hall. The building was designed by a group of architects P. Zhylytskyi, I. Vayner, under the directorship of the project’s author the distinguished architect of Ukrainian SSR Yevhenia Marychenko.All of the architects were awarded Shevchenko National Prize (1971) for its design and construction. The building is trapezoidal, twenty eight meters tall and consists of over 300 rooms. The exterior of the building, which was remodeled in 1996, is characteristic of the sober and functional Soviet architecture of its time. The interiors and equipment of the lobby as well as artistic rooms of the palace ”Ukraine” are designed by the architect I. Karakis.Although it was finally built on a former market square on Krasnoarmeyskaya street (present vul. Velyka Vasylkivska), it was originally suggested to be built in the place of St. Michael’s Golden-Domed Monastery.On 22 April 1998, the Palace of Ukrayina received the status of National Palace. Director of the building until 2010 was Mykola Mozhovyy.
