Velyki Sorochyntsi ((ウクライナ語:Великі Сорочинці), (ロシア語:Вели́кие Соро́чинцы) or , tranlit. ''Velikiye Sorochintsy'' or ''Bol'shiye Sorochintsy''; formerly referred to simply as Sorochyntsi) is a village in the Poltava Oblast (province) of central Ukraine, formerly a town. It can be translated as the Grand Sorochyntsi. The village is located in the Myrhorod Raion (district) of the oblast, and is famous as both the birthplace of the great writer Nikolai Gogol () and the location of the Sorochyntsi Fair. In 1925–31 the town was called Neronovychi after the Bolshevik activist Yevhen Neronovych, who was executed by Ukrainian military forces in the town in 1918. The population as of 2013 was estimated at 3,809, down from 4,231 in the 2001 Census. The name of the village came either from the Slavic word ''Soroka'' (magpie) or ''Sorochka'' (shirt). There are many legends explaining the name of the village as the location of the Magpie's kingdom or of some magical shirt. ==History== The earliest recorded mention of the settlement (sloboda) is in the 1620s. In 1646, the sloboda became the domain of a Polish Prince from the Wiśniowiecki family. By the end of the 17th and beginning of the 18th centuries, the sloboda was the location of a Cossack district (sotnia) government. Born here, the future Hetman of Zaporizhian Host Danylo Apostol in 1670 founded the ''Sorochynski Mikhailovsky Monastery''. He went on to build the Ukrainian Baroque ''Church of the Transfiguration'' ((ウクライナ語:Преображенська церква), translit. ''Preobrazhens'ka tsekrva'') in 1732, also in Sorochyntsi, where he was buried two years later. Nikolai Gogol was later baptized in this same church.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=кoляди )〕 Since the middle of the 18th century, the large Sorochyntsi Fair ((ウクライナ語:Національний Сорочинський ярмарок), translit. ''Natsiolnal'nyi Sorochyns'kyi yarmarok'', (ロシア語:Сорочинcкaя яpмaркa), translit. ''Sorochinskaya yarmarka'') has been held in Velyki Sorochyntsi. Recurring five times a year in the time of the Russian Empire, the fair is now held annually since its revival after a 40-year moratorium during Soviet rule. Since the Presidential Decree of August 18, 1999, the fair bears the status of the National trade fair.〔http://www.ukraine-eu.mfa.gov.ua/eu/ua/publication/content/4225.htm 〕 The fair is a large showcase for traditional handicrafts made by skilled craftsmen, including Reshetilivka embroidery, rugs, Opishnya ceramics, as well theatrical performers who re-enact scenes of village life from famous Ukrainian stories. From 1925 to 1931 the city was called Neronovychi after the Ukrainian People's Secretary of Military Affairs, Yevhen Neronovych. 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「Velyki Sorochyntsi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
