Evening Kyiv (Ukrainian: Вечірній Київ, romanized: Vechirnii Kyiv, pronounced [ʋeˈt͡ʃʲirnʲii̯ ˈkɪjiu̯]) is a daily newspaper published in Kyiv, Ukraine since 1927, having previously been published as The Evening Gazette in 1906 and from 1913 to 1917. The newspaper is owned by Borys Grinchenko Kyiv Metropolitan University. It is Kyiv's oldest newspaper and one Although it was once frequently regarded a mouthpiece for Soviet propaganda, the newspaper has been independent since the 1991 dissolution of the Soviet Union and is now regarded as a credible centre-right newspaper.[citation needed] It is an important part of the culture of Kyiv, where it is popularly known as Vechirko (Ukrainian: Вечірко).
Over its history, Evening Kyiv has faced several threats from various governments, including a reduction in published issues at the height of Volodymyr Shcherbytsky's rule and efforts by mayor Leonid Chernovetskyi to influence editorial positions. It has been closed and reopened on several occasions for various reasons, the most recent of both being 2018 and 2024, respectively.
