Former mayor of Kiev about the age of the city:

When we went to the UNESCO Council, which was to resolve the question of the age of Kiev, we had data that Kiev, Kiev Russia – 2700 years old... I spoke a lot and proved. But UNESCO scientists have been constantly rejuvenating us. At some point, Patton, who was with me, said, “Valia, agree for 1500 years, otherwise they will make it even younger.” And I agreed", Zgursky told us.
