During soviet time, Kyiv had 14 administrative districts
(rayons) with such names as: Leninskyi rayon, Minskyi rayon,
Moskovskyi rayon etc. Few years ago a new law about the Capital
of Ukraine was adopted and Kyiv received 10 new rayons, new
borders, new names. The Obolonskyi rayon include generally
territories of the old Minskyi rayon. So, rayon council
re-adopted Coat of Arms and flag (but the new flag is blue,
former Minskyi rayon was white-blue).
