Interesting facts aboutZaporizhzhya city

The industrial city of Zaporizhia in southeastern Ukraine is rather young, having only sprouted in the 1920s and 1930s. The catalyst for this development was the Dnieper Hydroelectric Dam, which made this section of the river navigable for the first time, and powered the city’s new heavy industry. Neighbourhoods were built quickly, in the Soviet Constructivist style, devised to inspire socialist ideals in their residents. Zaporizhia’s fame comes from the Zaporizhian Cossacks – autonomous warriors who lived by the Dnieper rapids from the 16th to the 18th centuries, out of the control of the Ottoman Empire and Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. These Cossacks are the soul of Ukrainian national identity, and made a home on the island of Khortytsia beside modern Zaporizhia. Their “sich”, a fortified wooden village has been reconstructed as an open-air museum.
