"Cat" Street

Kulykivska Street is Kharkiv’s true “cat street.” No matter the season, you’re sure to spot plenty of cats here. Many of them used to love lounging on the rugs spread out over an old Moskvich 400 tucked away in the courtyard, but the Moskvich is gone now. The cats, however, are still here.

Originally, the street was called Divocha (known as Demchenko during the Soviet era)
