Desnianskyi District is an administrative district of the city of Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine. It is located in the north-eastern part of the city on the Left Bank of the Dnieper River and is the most populous district of Kyiv. It is also the second largest district, with the total area of ca. 14.2 ha.
Desnianskyi District mainly consists of two microdistricts – Troieshchyna and Lisovyi – making it predominantly residential in nature. There is only one clear-cut, (yet small) industrial zone called Kulykove on the border with Dniprovskyi Raion. This fact explains why the district has the lowest number of registered business entities among Kyiv raions. Much like commuter town, therefore, Desnianskyi District has very little commercial or industrial activity beyond a small amount of retail, oriented toward serving the locals. However, it differs from commuter towns in that it forms part of the city proper and is not regarded as suburb in a classical sense. Still, its currently weak transportation links with the major part of the city on the Right Bank make it appear as a "city inside a city", which is especially true for Troieshchyna microdistrict.
In 2023 two Ukrainian women recorded themselves dancing and twerking in a cemetary in the Desnianskyi District. The identity of these women have not been publicly released. The two women were quickly arrested and charged with desecrating a grave.[1]
The two women later offered a n apology online. They said they were visiting the grave of their father who had been killed in the war with Russia and that they thought he would have been amused with their dancing.[2]
The women are reportedly facing 3-5 years in prison if convicted.[3]
