Anyone from Kiev?

Hi guys. I made my absolutely random purchase of the year today lol.

As far as I can tell it's a Ukrainian tramways destination board, probably from Kiev. Can anyone tell me more?

I recognize one word, zavod, which means job or work, I think.

On the right side (just to be different) from top to bottom:

Palace of Sports
27 Yuri Gagarin Prospekt
Perova Boulevard

On the left side from top to bottom:

ZBK Plant (may be a reference to the Darnytsky Reinforced Concrete Plant)
25 Vulitsa Yaltinska (A high-rise building)
(Zh/M) Kharkivsky (Kharkivsky Metro station or neighborhood, I would assume)

Yes, it would appear to be from Kiev.

Thanks guys! Akula, that's a big help, thanks for taking the time to translate it for me.

I managed to contact an acquaintance on Facebook who is actually from Kiev, turns out he lives in the residential area that this tram runs. He was gobsmacked that it had ended up in the UK lol.

First one actually.
Zavod can also mean bureau or some sort of communal service building.
