(the second-largest city of Ukraine; Kharkiv remained the capital of the Ukrainian SSR until 1934, when it was moved to Kiev; “Some sources indicate that the city may have been named after the Ukranian name for 'swan': kharka. Other sources offer that the city was named after its near-legendary founder, Kharko (a diminutive form of the name Kharyton)”)
Kharkiv is 300 miles east of Kiev.
