Thank you for reading!

Several times postponed visit to Zhitomir, although transit passed him and Nearby "small-town" Berdichev bus (even for poor quality Ukrainian roads that site - something special). And wanted to devote a whole day exploring the city. Finally a reason and found - in September Zhytomyr (or zhitomirtsy?) Mark the day of the city. Undoubtedly, any city for such a holiday is cleaner and more beautiful. We must definitely not miss this event! From Kiev to reach by car or by bus busom-half hours. Backbone route, not broken.

The idea of ​​the monument occurred back in the 1840s and 1850s, but permission for the erection of the monument was obtained only in 1960, then began to develop the project. Long to decide where to put the monument. There have been proposals to establish a monument in front of the Golden Gate or university. One of the options under consideration was Bessarabia area, which at the time was called the area of ​​Bohdan Khmelnytsky. Still, the choice focused on the Sofia area
