History of Kyiv (1811–1917)

The history of Kyiv from the 1811 Great Fire of Podil until the Kiev November uprising (1917), causing the outbreak of the Ukrainian War of Independence (1917–1921), encompasses most of the 19th century until the collapse of the Russian Empire during the First World War. The city of Kiev (now Kyiv) was fundamentally reconstructed, and then underwent significant Russification due to various demographical developments, as well as cultural and social-economic policies of the local, regional and Imperial administrations.
