Hi senso, it's miracle that you would ask that. To my knowledge, Russia and Ukraine are the world's largest research facility on Actinidia group. In Kyjev and other Large cities' botanical gardens you can find many Actinidias.
The most favored are Actinidia kolomikta, Actinidia chinensis (to -16°C) and Actinidia arguta (to -30°C). I have also seen many dozens of hybrids, even self-pollinating plants of kiwi.
