personal highlights

1. Maidan: since 1990 the place for large-scale protests
2. Euromaidan: 400 - 800'000 protesters pro Europe in 2014
3. Donbass war: fundraising for war hospitals, victims and more 
4. Tourists: probably the most crowded and touristic spot in town
5. Shopping mall: expensive brands just below maidan square
