Hey, privet, I sort of live in Kiev too (when I'm not abroad, that is, which is for most of my life).
I personally think that Tolkien made it clear that even though the Ring itself was destroyed, evil didn't all of a sudden just cease to occupy the hearts and minds of the inhabitants of Middle Earth.
Because the Ring itself was not an initial source of evil, but it's natural outgrowth and implementation.
