Zaporozhye: History and statistics

The city of Zaporozhye is more 200 years old and is situated about 600 km South-East of Kiev - Ukraine's capital - and half-way between the fields of iron ore in Krivoi Rog to the West and the coal in the Donetsk basin to the East. The town is built on the wide plains along both banks of the mighty and ancient Dniepr River, which gives Zaporozhye a unique atmosphere.

The residential areas of Zaporozhye are very spacious with plenty of light and greenery, and the streets crossing Lenin Prospekt - the longest road - slant down towards the Dnieper River. The town stretches out for over 30 kilometers along the river, and in its width the new residential districts extend for 25 kilometers. A most remarkable sight and the pride of Zaporozhye's citizens is Khortitsa Island, which is the custodian of an antiquity reserve museum and a nature reserve popular with weekend visitors.

Railways, highways, airlines and water-ways connect Zaporozhye with Moscow, Kiev, Kharkov, Poltava, Simferopol and many other cities and towns in our country. Just beyond the borders of the town to the South, you can find the vast Kakhovsky Reservoir, which is often called a sea, and the Sea of Azov - a very popular health-resort area - lies about 150-200 kilometers further towards the South. Kakhovsky Reservoir finally flows into the Black Sea close to Odessa, one of Ukraine's major ports. You can travel all of the way from Kiev to Odessa by boat on the Ukrainian Waterways.

Historians and archaeologists tell us that the territory of Zaporozhye had been inhabited by people from time immemorial. This is shown for example by stone tools of the Late Paleolithic Age (about 15 thousand years ago), two settlements of the Heolithic Age (6th millennium B.C.), objects of material culture of the Late Bronze Epoch (1st.millennium B.C). Both the Scythians (4th millennium B.C ) and the Samatians (2nd centuryB.C.- 2nd century A.D.) lived here, while in the 9th-13th centuries the area was already heavily populated by Slavs, which is shown by the remains of 57 Slavonic settlements which were discovered near the Dneproges Hydroelectric Dam. However, according to the historians, most of the Slav dwellers left this area in the 13th century, running away from the Golden Horde invasion, and by the end of the 15th century and the beginning of the 16th century, Zaporozhye Cossacks became masters of the lands beyond the rapids of the Dnieper River.

The impregnable Khortitsa Island became one of the centers of Cossack civilization, and became a mighty force for the Ukrainian people in the struggle against foreign invaders and the feudal yoke and for the reunion of the Ukraine with Russia.

But the town itself was founded much later, during a period of united straddle of the fraternal peoples against the Turkish Sultanate. Its origins go back to the end of 1770,when one of the fortresses of the Dnieper fortified line was built at the mouth of the Mokraya Moskovka. Zaporozhye was originally named Alexandrovsk after the commander of the first Russian Army, Prince Alexander Golitsyn. The builders, a battalion of Russian soldiers and toilers "lopatniki" (#slovellers) who had come here with their families became the first settlers of the future town. Among them were also Zaporozhye Cossacks, who founded a large village nearby after the abolition of the Zaporozhskaya Sechin 1775. Initially, the settlement grew up very slowly. Plague, epidemics and wartime hardships had a negative effect on its development. At that time, the people were mainly occupied in raising cattle, farming, growing vegetables, hunting and fishing. Handicraft and trade were poorly developed.

The Dnieper fortified line lost its military significance following the victory over the Turkish Sultanate and the annexation of the Crimean Khanate to Russia in 1783, and the fortress was turned into a possad (trading quarter in the suburbs of a settlement). Since 1785 it was called Alexandrovsk, and some administrative offices appeared here at that time. In 1802 the town was included into Ekaterinoslav Province and in 1806 became a district town. Present-day Zaporozhye has over 1 million inhabitants and is the centre of a range of industries and the home to Zaporozhye State University.

Here are some figures to illustrate the present industrial strength of Zaporozhye:

It now produces nearly half of the stainless steel and ball-bearing steel in the country, a third of the cold-rolled steel sheets and about half of the transformers.

It is the first domestic producer of the "Zaporozhye" mini-car, and manufactures products from titanium, aluminum, ferro alloys etc....

About 400 different products are being exported by the town's enterprises to more than seventy foreign countries.

In Zaporozhye there are now over 100 secondary schools, 14 professional schools, a university, three institutes, 13 technical secondary schools, two medical schools, two pedagogical institutes and a musical colleges, about 30 scientific research and design institutions.

Every fourth inhabitant is a scholar. The community now has access to over 400 libraries, more than 50 cinemas, a Musical and Drama Theater, the Theater of Young Spectators and a Puppet Theater, a concert hall, a circus, 46 Palaces of Culture and various evening clubs and Casinos.

The scientific community of the city encompasses more than 600 doctors and professors.Over 220 members of creative unions (writers, journalists and artists) live and work here.

Zaporozhye has become a city of more than 1300 avenues, streets, side-streets and squares located in six administrative districts (Leninsky, Zavodskoi, Orjonikidzevsky,Zhovtnevy, Kommunarsky and Shevchenkovsky) with the population of over one million. A child is born here every 48 minutes.

There are now 270 medical establishments in Zaporozhye with more than two thousand doctors working there.

The tram, trolley-bus and motorbus routes are over 1000 km long.

There are some 30 parks and public gardens, the total area of greenery of which covers 12,500 hectares- an average of 17 square meter's of greenery per inhabitant.

The city has many true friends abroad, such as the twin-towns of Vrotslav and Legnitsa (Poland), Obrovats (Yugoslavia), Lakhti (Finland), Birmingham (England), Belfor (France) and Linz (Austria), Oberhausen (Germany). Delegations from these towns often come to visit the city and enjoy the hospitality of our residents.

Zaporiyia (ucraniano: Запоріжжя; tr.: Zaporizhzhia; ruso: Запорожье; tr.: Zaporozh'ye) es una ciudad de la región centro meridional de Ucrania. Es el centro administrativo del óblast de Zaporiyia, así como del circundante raión de Zaporiyia dentro del óblast. La ciudad está subordinada directamente a la óblast. Está situada sobre el río Dniéper, unos 70 km al sur de Dnipropetrovsk y 445 km al sudeste de Kiev.

Zaporiyia era llamada antiguamente Aleksándrovsk (ruso: Алексáндровск), por el comandante del primer ejército ruso, el príncipe Alejandro Golitzin, pero fue renombrada en 1921 como Zaporiyia (literalmente, "detrás de los rápidos", por los rápidos que tenía el Dniéper cerca de Jortytsia). En 2007 era la sexta ciudad mayor de Ucrania con una población de 790.000 hab.

Zaporiyia es un importante centro industrial de Ucrania, particularmente por la central hidroeléctrica de "DnieproGES", la fábrica de automóviles ZAZ, la mayor empresa fabricante del país, y la Motor-Sich diseñadores y productores de motores de avión y turbinas de gas indutriales.

La ciudad fue un gran centro de ingeniería en los tiempos soviéticos, con todas la consecuencias medioambientales que esto acarrea. Al moverse a la economía de mercado desde la independencia de Ucrania, ha mejorado la situación en ese tema, mejorando la calidad del aire. Aunque Zaporiyia no es una ciudad particularmente atractiva, los cruceros del río Dniéper hacen de ella una de sus paradas programadas en el camino para vistar la isla de Jortytsia.

Historia

Según los hallazgos arqueológicos en el área, se sugiere que este establecimiento haya sido habitado desde hace 5000 o 6000 años por tribus nómadas escitas. En los siglos XV-XVII este lugar fue famoso por la fortaleza cosaca Sich de Zaporozhia. En el siglo XVI aquí se refugiaron granjeros rusos de servidumbre que huían de sus señores para ser hombres libres. Estos cosacos tenían un trato independiente por el Imperio ruso, a cambio de defender sus fronteras militarmente. Se sabe que entre 1711 y 1739 estuvo bajo el dominio de los tártaros de Crimea y del Imperio otomano (ver Islam en Ucrania). En 1770, el gobierno ruso estableció una nueva fortaleza en el río Dniéper, llamada Aleksándrovsk. Hasta principios del siglo XX, era una ciudad pequeña. Como hemos dicho fue renombrada con su nombre actual en 1921. Durante y tras la Segunda Guerra Mundial, fue localización de un campo de prisioneros.

La isla de Jortytsia, perteneciente a la ciudad, encara la moderna Zaporiyia desde el río. Fue una de las localizaciones del antedicho Sich de Zaporizhia, la principal capital fortificada del estado cosaco de los cosacos de Zaporozhia y de la república del Hetmanato cosaco.

En 1789 menonitas de Prusia aceptaron una invitación de la zarina Catalina II de Rusia para establecerse en lo que se conocería como colonia de Jortytsia, al noroeste de la isla de Jortytsia. Los molinos y fábricas construidos por los menonitas en Aleksándrovsk fueron expropiados por el gobierno comunista. Después de la Revolución rusa de 1917, muchos menonitas emigraron, ya como refugiados o deportados de la zona. Actualmente aún viven en Zaporiyia unos pocos menonitas, de cuyo pasado en la ciudad se conservan varios edificios en el área y en lo que era el centro de la colonia, actualmente Molochansk.
