Excerpt from Wikipedia
The Bessarabskyi Market (Ukrainian: Бессарабський ринок, romanized: Bessarabs'kyi rynok), or Besarabskyi Market (Ukrainian: Бесарабський ринок), also referred to as the Bessarabka (Ukrainian: Бессарабка), is an indoor market located in the center of Kyiv on the Bessarabska Square at the southwest end of the city's main thoroughfare, the Khreshchatyk. Constructed from 1910 to 1912 to a design of Polish architect Henryk Julian Gay, the market features 896 square metres (9,640 sq ft) of market space.
Ist name originates from Bessarabia, a region conquered by the Russian Empire during the Russo-Turkish Wars and now partially located in southwestern Ukraine on the territory of the Odesa Oblast (province).
