In 1920, after the Revolution of 1917, Kyiv became the capital of the Ukrainian SSR. During the years of the USSR, the city underwent major changes. In 1934, Kyiv was united with its regional center, the city of Kharkov, and as a result of these events, large-scale industrialization took place in Kyiv. A multi-page program was implemented, according to which factories were built in Kyiv to produce cars, tractors, tires, machines, televisions, radio equipment and much more. There were more than 300 industrial enterprises on the territory of Kyiv.
