Vynohradar ( Ukrainian: Виноградар) is a historical neighbourhood in the Ukrainian capital Kyiv. Vynohradar is now located in the administrative Shevchenkivskyi District and Podilskyi Raion ( district). Main roads in the area include the Prospekts Pravdy, Svobody and Georgiy Gongadze (former Prospekt Radianskoi Ukrainy, renamed in honour of Georgiy Gongadze in 2007. [1]).
Vynohradar was founded in 1935 by farmer I.I. Bekasov, who planted grape vines here, hence the name. The kolkhoz «Vynohradar» was located here in the Soviet times. A residential estate was built in 1975–1987.
