KYIV DESTINATION: Dovzhenko Film Studios, Libid Hotel
How are Montenegro and Ukraine famously linked?
In 1973 Ukrainian Actress Galina Loginova https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galina_Jovovich left a successful career as a Shakespearian and film in Moscow for a staff actress job at the Dovzhenko Film studios http://www.dovzhenkocentre.org/eng/ in Kyiv.
Galina went to the fashionable restaurant in the Lybid Hotel, which in Soviet times was a popular place for meeting football stars and foreigners. Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau dined there among others.
There she met Bogdah Jovovich a Montenegrin doctor. They started dating.
Dating a foreigner was highly frowned upon in the Soviet Union. Galina was threatened, but she married Bogdah and in 1975 they had a daughter Milla.
The family emigrated, and the Soviet authorities banned all of Galina's films from being shown.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dovzhenko_Film_Studios. Galina still acts, but is possibly more famous for being her 'Fifth Element' daughter's manager.
The film studios have open days, but are not open permanently to the public. The Lybid hotel (see below) http://lybid-hotel.com.ua/en.html still has the banquet hall restaurant where Galina and Bogdah met, if you wish to recreate the scene.
