About Mariyinsky Palace The palace in Tsar's Garden was founded by order of Empress Elizaveta Petrovna in 1744. The project was designed by architect Bartolomeo Rastrelli and under leadership of Ivan Michurin the palace was built in 1752. Catherine II was the first royal person who stayed in the palace during her visit of Kyiv in 1787. Here she met Venezuelan politician Francisco Miranda - the future liberator from Spanish colonial system. In the early XIXth century Tsar's Palace burned down as a result of a series of fires. In 1870 Alexander II commissioned architect Karl Maevsky to reconstruct the palace based on old plans and paintings. After restoration the palace was renamed to Mariyinsky Palace in honor of Empress Maria Alexandrovna. At her request a large park was laid out on the southern side of the palace. During World War I Empress Maria Feodorovna moved to Mariyinsky Palace. She spent two years there until the abdication of her son Emperor Nicholas II. After the establishment of Independence of Ukraine in 1991 Mariyinsky Palace became the official residence of President of Ukraine. Summits, official receptions at the highest level, ceremonies of presenting credentials by ambassadors of foreign states, awards, meetings of foreign delegations are held here. An important historical event also took place in the palace - in 1992 the last President of Ukrainian People’s Republic Mykola Plavyuk handed over the kleinods of the emigrant government of Ukrainian People’s Republic to the newly elected President of independent Ukraine Leonid Kravchuk.
