History

In 1918, an explosion occurred at the artillery warehouses; this resulted in most of the former buildings of the 3rd Verinets being destroyed.[1]

In the mid-2000s, a Baptist church "Peace, Love and Unity" was built in the Zvirynets neighborhood.[2][3]

The Kyiv Metro station Zvirynetska is named after the neighborhood.
