Metropolitan Hilarion in his "Sermon on Law and Grace" compared Sophia of Kyiv with the Temple of Solomon in Jerusalem. Also in the "Tale of Bygone Years" Yaroslav the Wise, when describing the construction of St. Sophia, was compared with King Solomon. This has been interpreted by many researchers as likening Kyiv to the New Jerusalem. As it was with Constantinople[20][21][22][23]. According to B. A. Uspensky, this is evident from the ratio of St. Sophia of the cities of Kyiv and Constantinople with the Temple of Wisdom in Jerusalem, as well as the Golden Gate in three cities[24]. As I. N. Danilevsky writes, already in the 11th-12th centuries there was an idea in Russia that Kyiv was New Jerusalem[25]. The historian M. B. Sverdlov does not agree with this concept. He believes that the construction of the churches of St. Sophia, St. Irene and St. George, as well as their Byzantine architecture, the Golden Gate - all this goes back to the tradition of Constantinople, but not to Jerusalem[26].

In The Tale of Bygone Years, Kyiv, in the mouth of Prince Oleg the Prophet, under the year 882, is called the “mother of Russian cities” (“mother of the Russian city”). This is understood as a tracing paper from the Greek "metropolis" ("meter" mother + "polis" city)[16][17]. This expression implies that Kyiv was the capital and all ancient Russian cities went from it[18]. The same idiom is found in ancient Russian literature in the future - for example, in the Eulogy of Konstantin of Murom of the 16th century, “together with the Christian church, the mother of the city of God-saved Kyiv, cry out to God”[19].

The logo of Kyiv, in translation - "the city where everything begins"
Throughout its history, Kyiv has been the capital of Polyany, Kievan Rus, the Kyiv Principality, the Ukrainian People's Republic, the Ukrainian People's Republic of Soviets, the Ukrainian State, the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic, and since 1991, independent Ukraine. It was also the center of the ancient Kyiv Metropolis and continues to be so for the Orthodox Church of Ukraine, the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church and the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (Moscow Patriarchate) claiming succession from it. It houses the governing structures of the Crimean Platform, GUAM, STCU, PANIA and MAAN (in 1993-2017). Due to its significance as the historical center of Russia, the city is called the "mother of Russian cities"; by virtue of religious significance - "New Jerusalem"; due to the mass heroism of the population in the Great Patriotic War, it bears the highest degree of distinction of the USSR “Hero City”.
