The Podilskyi District as an administrative entity was formed in 1921 on one of the largest historical neighborhoods in Kiev. In May 2001 the Podilskyi District celebrated its 80th anniversary of its foundation. The district remains as one of the main business, transport and industrial areas of Kiev.

There are currently 50 large industrial organizations based here. Although most of the industrial sites are phased out of the region, they dominate the adjacent neighborhoods to the north, named today "Podilsko-Kurenivskiy promraion".

gollark: The laws of most countries are complicated enough now that nobody can actually know and understand all of them, or even the ones which directly affect them. Also, I'm responding kind of slowly because my internet service is bad right now and randomly dropping out every few minutes.
gollark: (then, not than)
