DnIPRoPETRIVSK REGIon
Welcome to the unforgettable Dnepropetrovsk land, the Cossacks territory rich in historical events and good hospitable people. Dnepropetrovsk was founded in 1787 by Knjaz (Prince) Potemkin at place of a Zaporozhian village called Polovytsia. The town called Katerinoslav was later renamed in Novorossiysk. In 1924 the city was given its present name. One of the most romantic and mysterious places of Dnepropetrovsk is considered to be the Monastyrskiy island first mentioned in the hagiography of Saint Feodosiy as a place what one of the Christs followers Andrei Pervozdanny set his foot on. The island is regarded as the northernmost point of the apostles journey. It has got its name after a Byzantine monastery which was erected here in the IX century. Not long ago an Orthodox church was built on the island; there is an ancient cross nearby. As legends say, it was placed by apostle Andrei in the 1 century. The city began to develop intensively in 70-th of the XIX century after the railway has been built here. At that time the oldest bridge of Dnepropetrovsk (one of three) Amurskiy (or the Old) - was constructed here. As a result, crossing the river by a ferry on the way from Baturin to Perekop was not more necessary. In 1917-20 the anarchists of Nestor Makhno held the city at times. In 1919 the collection of the History Museum named after D.I.Yavornitskiy was saved from Makhnos fighters thanks to a bottle of Cossaks gorilka (a national strong alcohol drink). Two bottles of gorilka aged 200 years were found by an archeological expedition. An archaeologist and historian Dmitriy Yavornitskiy changed one of two exhibits-bottles in a Writ of Protection for the museum. There is no sense to look for the second one: it was drunk up by the archeologists who have found it. Between the exhibits of Dnepropetrovsks History Museum: heraldic and archeological materials, weapons, paintings, icons there is a unique monument to a heroic soviet soldier the Diorama The Battle for Dniepr. During the excursion you will have the possibility to visit the mansion-museum of Dmitriy Ivanovich Yavornitskiy the Father of Cossacks, as contemporaries called him. The atmosphere of real Cossacks hospitability reigns in this house. Famous authors Lev Tolstoy, Lesya Ukainka, Ostap Vishnja, artists and musicians visited this cultural and creative centre. The excursion through friendly Dnepropetrovsk will leave pleasant memories and a wish to feel the atmosphere of the city once more.

In 1770 a fortress named Aleksandrovsk was built on the biggest Khortytsia Island at the Dnieper River with the aim to be an outpost in the Russian-Turkish War. The history of the city goes back to a settlement which sprang up later and was named after the commander of the first Russian Army Alexander Golitsyn Aleksandrovsk. In 1921 it was renamed in Zaporozhye. Some scientists suggest to consider the year 1552 when Baida Vishnevetskiy built a fortress on the island as the date of birth of the city.

The Slavs made sacrifices to the god Khors asking for help and protection on the journey. So the name of a pagan deity has been reflected in the name of the island. They say the Prince of Kiev Svjatoslav fell here in an unequal battle with nomads in 972. The land behind the rapids of Dniepr river belonged to free Cossacks for a long time. In XVI the Zaporozhian Sich was founded here. The amazing past of Khortitsia is connected with such famous people as Bogdan Khmelnitskiy, Ivan Sirko, BaidaVishnevetskiy.

ODESSA CATACOMBS
Odessa catacombs are a network of underground tunnels and labyrinths under Odessa. Most of the catacombs are the former quarries from which building stone is extracted. Nowadays the length of the Odessa catacombs is about 2,5 thousands km. At the end of the XX century the catacombs had caused a dramatic complication of engineering geologic conditions of the city. More than 40% of the old city is situated in the territory under which mines were. Most (95-97%) of Odessa catacombs are underground quarries where the limestone was extracted which was used for building of the city. The first underground quarries began to emerge in the first half of the XIX century during rapid construction of Odessa as a source of inexpensive building materials limestone. The extraction of stones was carried using the saws and was so intense that in the second half of the XIX century a vast network of underground cavities became inconvenient to the city. After the revolution the extraction of the limestone on the territory of the city was prohibited because many buildings of the city began to collapse. During the Great Patriotic War the catacombs served as a refuge for the Soviet partisans. There is the information about 1,7 thousands square kilometers of underground cavities.

History of Ljubomirskis estate comes back to the beginning of the XVIII century when Stanislav Ljubomirskiy decided to erect a palace on an island in the middle of a huge lake. The Ljubomirskis lived in the estate till 1836. In 1838 they handed it over to a gymnasium for the use. But the head of the gymnasium declined the generous gift because of lacking money for maintenance of such a big building. At the beginning of XX century the palace became a place for fallen-in-love people. They came here to make a declaration of love. Theatre plays were performed and dancing balls were given here. In 1927 a heavy fire destroyed the palace. One of the remarkable landmarks of the city is the St. Resurrection Cathedral. The St. Protection Church is amazingly beautiful and majestic. It is decorated with 13 big cupolas symbolizing Jesus Christ and 12 apostles. Really worth seeing in Rovno is thousand-years old Ostrog (stockaded town) with prominent memorials the Ostrogs Castle and Academy.

The history of the heroic temple comes back to 1715 when it was erected in honor of Chernigov polkovnyk (colonel) Jacob Lyzohub as a memorial to his regiments exploits during the storm of Turkish Fortress Azov in 1696. During some last years the both Kiev and Moscow Patriarchies struggled against this temple. A tent city was established to blockade the St. Catherine Church and stood during 2 years. As a result the church belongs now to Kiev Patriarchy. Worth seeing is the Saviour Cathedral, constructed in 1036 in times of government of Knyaz Mstislav Vladimirivich the Bold. The temple is unique between the memorials of Byzantine architecture. In XVIII the construction was hardly damaged, and now two of its domes are spinescent.
