Kyiv rises out of the Dnipro, all hills and golden domes, and Stepan Radchenko, a village boy on a boat with a head full of plans, looks at it the way a man looks at an enemy he intends to marry. He has come to study, to carry the countryside into the capital and remake it.

The city was not to be hated, but conquered.
