Another legend is rooted in the“Tale of Passing Years” Chronicle. According to that version Kiliya-Kievets was founded at the end of the VIIIth century AD by Prince Kiy - the legendary founder of Kiev.
Legends, legends…
After Russia’s defeat in the Crimean War of 1853-1856 Kiliya became part of Moldavian Principality, and upon the end of the Russian-Turkish war of 1877-1878 it was returned to Russia. Ethnically Kiliya presents a mixture of many nationalities. Among them there are Ukrainians, Russians, Moldavians, Jews, Bulgarians, Greeks, Poles, Germans and Albanians.
Modern Kiliya is still a multinational small town with original culture. The state Museum of Regional Studies carefully preserves the memory of the old days, and numerous ethnical groups cherish the treasury of the multinational Bessarabian culture, adding new meaning to it
