Rybalskyi Peninsula (Ukrainian: Рибальський півострів, romanizedRybalskyi pivostriv , lit. ‘Fisherman's island’), referred to locally as Rybalskyi Island (Острів Рибальський), is a misnomer for an actual peninsula on the Dnieper River, located in the right-bank Podil neighborhood and Kyiv Harbor of the city of Kyiv. It was also a spit serving as a left-bank of the Pochaina [uk], a historical river that with time transformed into several oxbow lakes located in Obolon (see Opechen lakes [uk]). The peninsula is now a predominantly industrial area.
