You see, Kiev is where both Ukraine and Russia's history starts. Ukraine and Belarus, were once part of the Russian Empire. Kiev, at the time was the capital of the Russian Empire. So it was Russia's former capital, now it is Ukraine's current capital. Also, this is where Russians, Belarusians and Ukrainians all originated from known as "Kievan Rus". Shortly before becoming the Ukrainian SSR, it did become an independant country with Kiev as its capital.
In World War II, the Red Army fought the Nazis in Kiev. Unfortunately, the first time ni 1943, the Red Army got their butts handed over by the Nazis. They surrendered and lost Kiev. In 1945 as the Nazis got kicked out of Stalingrad and pushed west, the Soviets came and liberated Kiev and Minsk (Belarus) from the Nazis.
