Saltivka
Saltivka or the Saltivka Masyv (Ukrainian: Салтiвка; Russian: Салтовка) is large residential area located in the northeastern region of Kharkiv in eastern Ukraine and occupies bigger portion of Moskovskyi District and some part of Kyivskyi District and Nemyshlyanskyi Districts. It sometimes referred to as Saltivka Masyv as it unites several different neighborhoods which contain similar residential areas.
The name of the neighborhood is related to the road that led to Staryi Saltiv and Verkhniy Saltiv in Vovchansk Raion.

County so named because of road runs from the centre of the city of Kharkiv Old Saltiv - Saltiv highway. Prior to the 1960s years Saltivka was called - Saltivsky village. And had a few small scattered areas in three-storied buildings (Tyurinka, Stara Saltivka, Shevchenky, selyshche imeni Kirova)
In spite of the relevance to Saltivka as a kind of deprived living area with outdated and dilapidated housing, more than a third of Kharkiv's total population resides within its boundaries.
Saltivka was conceived from the start as a purely residential neighborhood according to the Soviet concept of allocating the so-called sleeping districts in large industrial cities. According to various estimates, from around 400-800,000 inhabitants lived in Saltivka, making it one of the largest residential areas in Ukraine. Saltivka has almost no industrial compounds, but there are many shops and markets for residents. The neighbourhood includes one of the largest warehouse markets in Ukraine near the subway station named after Academician Barabashov. The Barabashov marketplace, according to some sources, is the largest in Europe.
Residential development was produced by the Institute Hiprobud in the 1963. Saltivka's panel residential buildings are typically in the form of 9, 12 and 16 floors, and rarely, 5-floor buildings. Separate high-rise buildings were constructed from 1967 and construction on the bulk of the buildings in Saltiva began in the 1970s. The most recent constructions (in 1984-1993), built up areas of northern Saltivka streets and the Krasnodar Street.
