  • Kiev fortress is a generic name for the 19th century fortification buildings situated in Ukrainian capital Kiev (Kyiv), that once belonged to western Russian fortresses. These structures (once a united complex) were built in the Pechersk and neighbourhoods by the Russian army. Now some of the buildings are restored and turned into museum called the Kyiv Fortress, while others are in use of various military and commercial installations. Having lost their military importance in 20th century, buildings continued to be used as barracks, storage and incarceration facilities. However, some of them played independent historical roles. The Kosyi Kaponir became a prison for the political inmates in the 1900s–1920s and was later turned into a Soviet museum. Now it is the center of the modern museum. A small fortress built in 1872 on the legendary Lysa Hora (Bald Mountain) in 1906 became a place of executions for convicted political inmates. It is now a landscape reserve and part of the museum complex. Image:Kiev fortress 001 SHCH. jpg Image:Kiev fortress 002 SHCH. jpg
  • Киевская крепость — фортификационные сооружения XIX века в Киеве, принадлежавшие к западнорусской линии укреплений. Киевская крепость была построена в Печерском районе под названием Новая Печерская крепость. Сегодня некоторые здания восстановлены и содержат музей Киевской крепости, некоторые до сих пор используются как военные склады либо коммерческими предприятиями. Потеряв стратегическое значение в конце XIX века, Киевская крепость использовалась для нужд армии (штабы, склады, казармы), а также как место заключения. Историко-архитектурный памятник (ныне памятник-музей) "Киевская крепость" основан в 1927 году как филиал Музея истории Киева. Основной фонд музея составляет 17 тысяч экспонатов. Составная часть госпитального укрепления Киевской крепости - Косой капонир - построен в 1844 году как оборонительное сооружение Госпитального укрепления в системе Новой Печерской крепости.
