SUBSCRIBE: – Let’s visit the beautiful country of Ukraine and let’s go to the Besarabsky Market (also referred to as the Besarabka or Bessarabia) which is an indoor market located in the center of Kiev on the Bessarabska Square at the southwest end of the city’s main thoroughfare, the Khreshchatyk. Constructed in 1910-1912 the market features 896 square metres (9,640 sq ft) of market space. Its name originates from Bessarabia, a region conquered by the Russian Empire during the Russo-Turkish Wars and now partially located in southwestern Ukraine on the territory of the Odessa Oblast (province).
