The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Ukraine.

The first missionaries to enter Ukraine were Elders Ivan Stratov and Brian Bradbury, both were transferred from the Finland Helsinki East Mission. They were accompanied by President Dennis B. Neuenschwander of the Austria Vienna East Mission. They arrived in Kyiv on 7 October 1990 with a list of Ukrainian referrals. They quickly made enough contacts to gather 17 people for a fireside held in the Writers' Union Hall, where the first sacrament meetings were later held.
Introduced in 1991, the Church grew steadily in Ukraine, reaching a milestone on May 30, 2004, when Elder Russell M. Nelson of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles organized the first stake of seven wards in Kyiv. Elder Nelson blessed members to love their neighbors as Christ that many more stakes might be organized. He also encouraged them in their family history work in preparation for the temple.
The Kiev (Ukraine) Temple was the first temple built in the former Soviet Union. Two pictures of this Temple are below.
