Pechersk Raion (Ukrainian: Печерський район) is a larger administrative district (raion) of the city which lies majorly within the historical neighborhood, while also including some other historical areas. Pechersk (Ukrainian: Печерськ, Pechers’k) neighborhood is located on the hills adjoining the right bank of the Dnieper River. The two geographic entities are often confused together. Pechersk Raion can be considered as the very heart of Ukraine.
Pechersk is one of the most important cultural areas of Kiev, the location of the legendary Kiev Pechersk Lavra (Kiev Monastery of the Caves), from which it received its name (Pechera is the Ukrainian for "cave"). The settlement near the Lavra has formed sometime in the 12th century. It was reformed out of the historical Berestiv royal estate (Kniazhe selo) that was adjacent to the Kiev Golden Gates (Zoloti Vorota). The settlement was renamed into the town of Pechersk sometime in the 16th-17th centuries. It is worth of noting that Berest in the medieval Rus had a special meaning and value (see Brest, Belarus). It is a local name of the type of an elm tree the bark of which at that time was utilized in making of shoes as well as used as the writing medium (see Novgorod Codex).
