Are you going to visit Trakhtemyrov? What for?

If there are tears on the bottoms of the Ukrainian eyes, they should be wept out here on the height, where two crosses stand

The living cross-tree and the ferrous made by hands cross crown the glorious past and at the same time symbolize that there is invisible and that is why imperishable remains under them, and around them there is ashes of victories, performances, glory.

The decrees of boards of neighbouring regions turned out to be synchronous and of the same type: Kyiv board ratified the decree on February, 17, 2000 (№168/10), and Cherkasy board – on February, 26, 2000 (№14-14). Since then almost all Prydniprovs’ka height has placed under the authority of the close corporation “The agrarian and ecological association “Trakhtemyriv””. It has happened for the first time in the history of Ukraine.
