In the central part of the banknote is the image of the Volodymyr’s Burg in Kyiv (Detynets).
One of the two churches on this image is the Church of the Tithes.
The Church of the Tithes or Church of the Dormition of the Virgin (Ukrainian: Десятинна Церква, Desiatynna Tserkva; Russian: Десятинная Церковь, Desyatinnaya Tserkov') was the first stone church in Kiev. Originally it was built by the order of Grand Prince Vladimir (Volodymyr) the Great between 989 and 996 by Byzantine and local workers at the site of death of martyrs Theodor the Varangian and his son Johann. It was originally named the "Church of Our Lady", in honor of the Dormition of the Theotokos. The church was ruined in 1240 during the siege of Kiev by Mongol armies of Batu Khan.
Vladimir set aside a tithe of his income and property to finance the church's construction and maintenance, which gave the church its popular name.
Volodymyr’s Burg in Kyiv (Detynets) - under such a denomination known is the citadel whose construction Volodymyr started as soon as he had taken possession of Kyiv.
In the end of the X century the wall system of Kyiv Detynets (citadel) contained several gates. One gate was for passage to Podil, another – in the direction of Pechersk, one more was for passage in the direction of St. Sophia Cathedral.
The main edifice of the X century Kyiv was the famous Tithe Church whose foundation was laid, according to the Tale of Bygone Years, in 989. In 996 the construction was completed and the church was consecrated.
It was surrounded by an earthen rampart and a ditch that ran along the northern slopes of the Old Kiev Mountains to the east to the edge in the area of modern cable car, then went south to the current St. Michael's Square in the direction of the streets Big Zhitomir and stretched along its right side to the potter's ravine (tract Potters). At the intersection of Vladimir and B. Zhitomir were Gradskij (later Sofia, Batu) gates. There were more and (indirectly confirmed chronicle data) wooden gates near the present St. Michael's Square as a way to Borichev current, which went down to the wharf on the river Pochaina. The territory of the city of Vladimir equal to about 10-12 hectares. (From different sources). Shafts of Vladimir were basically wooden constructions and to this day has not been preserved, they are updated when Yaroslav the Wise, and then in the XVII century, during the time of Bohdan Khmelnytsky finally XVIII century. under Field Marshal Munnich.
