Kyiv-Mohyla Academy (Kyiv Metro Series) Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

islander1988: This cache had a nice run, but unfortunately it looks to be missing again, and I won't be in the area in the near future to replace it. So, I'm going to let it sail into the sunset and open up the area if someone else wants to place a cache here. Thanks to all the past finders and happy caching!

Geocache Description:

A quick cache outside Kyiv-Mohyla Academy, one of the smallest universities in Ukraine, and just a short walk from the Kontraktova Plosha metro station.

"The original Kyiv-Mohyla Academy, founded by the Metropolitan of Kyiv Petro Mohyla in 1615, was one of the most distinguished and earliest among higher educational institutions in Eastern Europe. Its aim was to master the intellectual skills and learning of contemporary Europe and to apply them to the improvement of education in Ukraine. Taking his most dangerous adversary as his model, Petro Mohyla adopted the organizational structure, the teaching methods, and the curriculum of the Jesuit schools. An objective in establishing this type of school was to raise the standard of Eastern European education to Western European degrees of excellence. From its beginnings, this school was conceived by its founder and first rectors as an institution of higher learning, offering philosophy and theology courses and supervising a network of secondary schools." - History of NaUKMA


This cache is a magnetic nano located on a street corner near the entrance to Building 1 of the academy. Please use stealth as there are often lots of people about. Height will be an asset to easily & quickly retrieve and replace this cache.
