Also, you can explore topic of raider attacks in Ukraine, many of which happen to be in Kiev. http://ti-ukraine.org/en/system/files/research/raider_attacks_-_ti_ukraine_eng.pdf

There is also constant fight between "real estate developers" (I am not sure if it is a right term. It is "застройщики" in Russian.)
There are links in Ukrainian - http://nbnews.com.ua/ru/news/88797/ , http://ru.tsn.ua/kyiv/zhiteli-bereznyakov-snesli-ograzhdenie-zastroyschika-i-nachali-protest-protiv-vyrubki-parka-314169.html , http://gazeta.ua/ru/articles/business/_v-kieve-razgoraetsya-esche-odno-mesto-protivostoyaniya-zastrojschikov-i-kievlyan/504427

Corrupted politicians selling land in the capital, and people, who bought this land, are trying to build there something. People, who live there, are strongly against it, and they're trying to fight it. Mostly, they lose. Especially, after businessmen pay criminals to kick ordinary people's asses.

You can explore topic of paid political activists. Old and young women and men work as activists in political tents (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bmz8TpYADXY, it's not Kiev though, just as an example), on demonstrations. There is unemployed sportsmen working as a bullies, I guess. The most famous one is "Vadik the Romanian Titushko" http://www.bbc.co.uk/ukrainian/news/2013/08/130830_titushko_peace_sx.shtml

Anyway, you can write a lot about politics. The capital lives in constant state of political war.
You can write about this guy - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonid_Chernovetskyi
Or about today's situation with mayor elections: http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/04/02/us-ukraine-protests-idUSBRE9310EL20130402
