Kiev (brand)

Kiev is a Soviet and Ukrainian brand of photographic equipment including cameras manufactured by the Arsenal Factory in Kyiv, Ukraine. The camera nameplates show the name "KIEV", with older cameras using "КИЕВ" (in Russian language) or "КИЇВ" (in Ukrainian language) in Cyrillic.

At the end of November 2009 Gevorg Vartanyan of Arax, a Ukrainian distributor of reworked medium format Kiev cameras and lenses, wrote to tell customers that the Arsenal factory was closing after 245 years of operation. The email said that management had been turned over to the Special Construction Department (SKTB), all work had stopped and the workers laid off, and that the factory warehouse was empty. He thought that Arax had enough cameras and parts to remain in business for at least another 4–5 years. The amount of stock remaining with other distributors around the world is unknown.

Kiev (disambiguation)

Kiev may refer to:

KIEV (AM)

KIEV 1390 AM is a Sports Talk radio station as The Beast 1390 AM in Culver City, California serving the Los Angeles area. The construction permit is held by Royce International Broadcasting and was issued on March 27, 2001.

During the week of Memorial Day 2008, KIEV sent out test signals to measure the strength of its signal. During that time, it aired a syndicated talk show hosted by Tammy Bruce and simulcast Monica Crowley's show from " 77 WABC" in New York City. KIEV also aired some news updates from USA Radio Network. But the test ended shortly after the holiday, and whether the station will return to the air and with what format is not yet known. (Crowley's show has been sold locally to KGIL.)

The current KIEV should not be confused with the previous station possessing the KIEV call letters. Both stations are separate entities.
