Ahoj, moji slovenskí priatelia!

I kept silence for a long time and bored from it. Today I want to say (show mostly) about my beautiful ukrainian city - Poltava. No RL politics.

Poltava is an amazing city which is situated on the right bank of the river Vorskla in Central Ukraine. Every city's Big Boss wants to claim his domain as ancient as possible (and impossible too) and full of miracles. So official date of Poltava foundation is year 899 B.C. despite of the first mention about town was in Primary Chronicle (Tale of Bygone Years) in 1174.

The main historical event of here occured in 1709, when russian occupants under the command of Peter I defeat Swedish invaders. The Monument of Glory devoted to russian victory in Poltava Battle was erected on June, 27 in 1811 in the center of the Round square. Nobody can omit this falloslike monument walking along Poltava.



There are many other places in city that please the sight and excite different emotions as well.

Building of SBU Office in Poltava (Former Village Bank, 1909).


White Rotunda, favourite place for walking to and phototaking.


Museum of local lore. Former The House of Poltava province Zemstvo.


Round Square from birdflight high. You can see City Hall with green roof and columns on left side. Current Poltava's mayor hides in there and whole Militia Department can't carry him to a court session 🙂


Dormition Cathedral and nearby area from plane.

The the most precious of Poltava treasures:




Have a nice day! Majte pekný deň!
