To clear this up, because open Holocaust denial is never OK:

Thousands of jews were indeed murdered at Babi Yar, you can find their names online [0]. Paul Blobel [1] was executed at Nuremberg for this. No serious source disputes the killing of jews at Babi Yar, be it the US, Germany (where this matter went to court), Israel, Ukraine, or Russia.

I couldn't find any connection between the names on the list and the people who lived in Kiev during the war.

Prior to the war, there were 224,000 Jews living in Kiev, and approximately 200,000 were evacuated to the east. Around 40,000 Jews remained, including my grandmother. This is a relatively small number of people that can be verified.

"You couldn't find any connection" but who cares what you claim you did?

You asserted Babi Yar was a "Russian fake" but no sane country in the world fails to acknowledge it happened and it was a huge massacre of Jews.

What some weirdo Holocaust denier claims on the internet doesn't matter.
