The '''Mariinskyi Palace''' ({{lang-uk|Маріїнський палац|translit=Mariinskyi palats}}) is the official residence of the [[President of Ukraine]]. The [[Elizabethan baroque]] [[palace]] is sited on the right bank of the [[Dnipro River]] in [[Kyiv]], [[Ukraine]], adjoining the [[Neoclassical architecture|neo-classical]] [[Verkhovna Rada building|building of the Verkhovna Rada]], the parliament of Ukraine.

==History==

The palace was constructed by command of the [[Imperial Russia|Russian]] [[List of Russian rulers|Empress]] [[Elizabeth of Russia|Elizaveta Petrovna]] in 1744; her architect was [[Bartolomeo Rastrelli]], the most eminent architect working in the [[Russian Empire]] at that time. One of the students of Rastrelli, [[Ivan Fyodorovich Michurin|Ivan Michurin]], together with a group of other architects, completed the palace in 1752. Empress Elizabeth, however, did not live to see the palace completed; the first senior-ranking member of the Imperial Family to stay in the palace was Empress Elizabeth's niece-in-law, [[Catherine the Great|Empress Catherine II]], who visited Kyiv in 1787. In the late 18th and early 19th centuries, the palace was the main residence of the [[Guberniya|Governors-General]].

In the early 19th century, the palace burned down in a series of fires, and was in total disrepair and abandoned for almost half a century. In 1870, [[Emperor of Russia|Emperor]] [[Alexander II of Russia|Alexander II]] had the palace reconstructed by the architect Konstantin Mayevsky, using old drawings and [[watercolour]]s as a guide. It was then renamed after the reigning [[Marie of Hesse and by Rhine|Empress Maria Alexandrovna]]. By her wish, a large park was established off the southern side of the palace. The palace was used as a residence for visiting members of the Imperial Family until 1917.

During the years of the [[Russian Civil War]] in 1917–1920, the palace was used as the [[Kyiv]] ''[[revkom]]'' headquarters, particularly during the [[Kyiv Bolshevik Uprising]]. In the 1920s, the building belonged to an agricultural school, soon after which it became a museum. The Mariinskyi was badly damaged during the [[Second World War]], and was restored at the end of the 1940s. Another major restoration was completed in the early 1980s.

In June 2007, the reconstruction of the palace began, which was expected to be completed by 2011, but as of 2017, was still ongoing.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://ua.korrespondent.net/ukraine/795945-mariyinskij-palac-pislya-rekonstrukciyi-vidkriyut-dlya-turistiv |title=Маріїнський палац після реконструкції відкриють для туристів |author= |date=2009-04-06 |website=ua.korrespondent.net |publisher=[[:uk:Корреспондент]] |accessdate=2018-01-16 |archive-date=2018-01-17 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180117131152/https://ua.korrespondent.net/ukraine/795945-mariyinskij-palac-pislya-rekonstrukciyi-vidkriyut-dlya-turistiv }}</ref> On April 5, 2022, President Volodymyr Zelensky announced that the White Hall of the Mariinsky Palace, where the state leadership receives heads of foreign states, will be called the White Hall of Heroes of Ukraine, and those who have been awarded the title of [[Hero of Ukraine]] will be awarded here.<ref>[https://www.president.gov.ua/news/volodimir-zelenskij-vruchiv-ordeni-zolota-zirka-vijskovosluz-74117 Володимир Зеленський вручив ордени «Золота Зірка» військовослужбовцям ЗСУ та членам родин загиблих Героїв України] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220430042933/https://www.president.gov.ua/news/volodimir-zelenskij-vruchiv-ordeni-zolota-zirka-vijskovosluz-74117 |date=30 квітня 2022 }} // Офіційне інтернет-представництво Президента України, 5 квітня 2022 р.</ref><ref>[https://www.ukrinform.ua/rubric-society/3449719-u-mariinskomu-palaci-zavilasa-bila-zala-geroiv-ukraini-zelenskij.html У Маріїнському палаці з'явилася Біла зала Героїв України] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220505202113/https://www.ukrinform.ua/rubric-society/3449719-u-mariinskomu-palaci-zavilasa-bila-zala-geroiv-ukraini-zelenskij.html |date=5 травня 2022 }} // Укрінформ, 06.04.2022</ref>
