The small town of Kief in North Dakota was founded by Ukrainian immigrants more than 100 years ago. Once upon a time it was a bustling little town, but today it is nearly empty, Iryna Matviichuk visited Kief and talked to the descendants of the first settlers. Anna Rice narrates her story.

I’ve lived in ND for Eleven Years and the only changes I have seen are the amount of people who came and then left. North Dakota is very peaceful state and when you are in the smaller towns like Scranton, Mott, Flasher and Hebron(Brick city) you will tell the difference between being in big city’s with lots of noise and traffic to being in a small town with only a population of 1000-200 people.

The American government actually considers this tiny settlement of just eight inhabitants to be a city, yet they consider Bolingbrook, Illinois, a massive settlement of 74,000 inhabitants to not be a city, but a village.

Large numbers immigrants of Germans from Russia (Ukraine) settled in North Dakota. I suspect the US officials sent actual Ukranian speakers to the same US area even though they spoke 2 different languages (German & Ukranian).

I'm curious why the only active building in Kief is the Liberty Baptist Church, yet it was never shown. The church that they kept showing was closed in the 1960s. It must not have fit teh writers narrative to show and actual church that is used every Sunday since it opened in 1901.
