Andrew's Uzviz (meaning descent) acquired its present appearance in the late 19th century, and it has not changed much since. It consists mainly of two and three storied stone buildings. Since the latest restoration the street has become a part of the Ancient Kiev preservation area. It is also popular with both locals and visitors because of its literary associations. Mikhail Bulgakov (1891-1940), famous Kyiv writer and author of the well-known Master and Marguerite, lived there, and the action of his other masterpieces, the novel The White Guard and the play Days of the Turbins, was set in the Andriyivsky Uzviz area.
This Kyiv street is often referred to as Kiev’s Montmarte as many artists rent apartments and studios there. Early in summer mornings numerous Kyiv artists hang their pictures on the walls of the houses and arrange their sculptures on the green turf of the lawns. This Kyiv street is usually crowded especially on the weekends, with people buying souvenirs, others posing for artists, and yet others watching an improvised performances given by actors, musicians or poets.
Starting on the top with the magnificent St. Andrew's Church, stop in at all the shops as you walk down you will see the medieval castle, called Richard Coeur de Lion's Castle after the hero of a novel by Sir Walter Scott. Visit the pottery shop where handicrafts are sold. House Number 13 is the Literary and Memorial Museum of Mikhail Bulgakov. The writer was fond of this street, and described many of its houses in his books. There are several small theatres and coffee shops as well as more museums along the way.
