Chernivtsi. I am discovering Bukovina. I wanted to understand what peoples lived here, who the people living in Chernivtsi came from. My personal affairs and classes on the discovery of Jupiter, who quickly handed me train tickets, brought me to this city. I gathered some positivity: it was cold outside, but not hot, and wentContinue reading “Chernivtsi. Bukovina. Ukraine”

Diva of the Holosiivskyi forest in Kyiv
We went in search of places of power of the Holosiivsky forest in Kyiv. How big it is! We walked for two days and saw only a small part of the interesting things of the forest. We were in two parts of the forest, in two monasteries – the Holosiivskaya desert and the Kitaevskaya desert.Continue reading “Diva of the Holosiivskyi forest in Kyiv”
Belgorod-Dnistrovsky is the oldest city in Ukraine
The oldest or not, but I read in Wikipedia that Belgorod-Dnistrovsky is the oldest city in Ukraine, one of the ten oldest cities in the world. The city is 2500 years old.

Bilogorodka Kyiv region. Historical well
I walk down the street and feel the pain and steadfastness of the residents of the village of Bilogorodka. The village is 22 km from Kyiv. It was loud here in March 2022, but they didn’t get here. The natural border was the river Irpin, the defenders and the power of the ancestors and theContinue reading “Bilogorodka Kyiv region. Historical well”

Khortytsya is an island of strength and health.
As a child, I spent the whole summer in Khortitsa. I did not understand then and did not attach importance to this. I felt good and happy. Our whole big family was together – parents, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles. There was a swing and ice cream on the way to the island. We swam toContinue reading “Khortytsya is an island of strength and health.”
Chernigov. Ukraine. Places of power
Chernigov began for me like in a fairy tale: If you go to the right, you will find Kievan Rus and its history. If you go to the left, you will find Saints, monasteries and temples. If you go straight, you will find a modern city and its goodies. The directions are conditional and eachContinue reading “Chernigov. Ukraine. Places of power”
Bald Mountain in Lysogorka – a place of strength of the Dnieper.
We sail on a yacht from Zaporozhye to the south, towards the Kakhovka reservoir. Already opposite the village of Kanevskoye, a view opens over a high sandy promontory protruding into the river. This is Bald Mountain on the right bank of the Dnieper. The mountain gave its name to the village of Lysogorka. The nextContinue reading “Bald Mountain in Lysogorka – a place of strength of the Dnieper.”
Scythian chronicles. Ukraine
For me, the Scythians began with a golden ridge from Solokh barrow. In 2013, I visited the exhibition “Gold of Scythian barrows” at the Hermitage in St. Petersburg. Under the fine work, the signature was a golden crest – the village of Velikaya Znamenka of the Zaporozhye region was found in the Solokha burial mound.Continue reading “Scythian chronicles. Ukraine”
