Moscow Patriarchate. Kiev. Mama walks in Sofiivka Part in Uman', a park that was built for a great love (which was later betrayed, apparently, but we won't talk about that now)On the road to Odessa: borscht in a bread bowl. The restaurant is called Bat'kivska Khata, and owned by hilarious Ukrainian pop star PoplavskiiLovely balconies in the center of Odessa.
