Hermanivka ((ウクライナ語:Германівка)) is a small town in the Obukhiv Raion (district) south of Kiev, in central Ukraine. The Chervona River flows through the town on its way to confluence with the Dnieper. Hermanivka's history extends back some 900 years. Hermanivka has a small museum opened in 1995 which contains more than 4,000 exhibits related to the history of the town, with substantial coverage of its involvement with the Zaporizhian Cossacks. Cossack Hetman and Ukrainian national hero Bohdan Khmelnytsky twice battled Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth forces at Hermanivka in 1651. A few years later, in 1658, the Hadiach Treaty between the Cossacks and Poles was declared in Hermanivka by Cossack Hetman Ivan Vyhovsky.〔(Encyclopedia of Ukraine )〕 Famous Cossack leader Severyn Nalyvaiko twice visited Hermanivka in the 1590s. Two Cossack colonels - Prokop Vereschak and Stepan Sulima - are buried in Hermanivka. In the 18th century, peasants of Hermanivka, by then a part of the Russian Empire, participated actively in the anti-serfdom movement. Hermanivka suffered greatly during the Holodomor famine of 1932-33, losing 20 percent of its population. At present Hermanivka has 890 households, several schools, libraries and churches. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hermanivka」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
