Speaking about my native place the place where I was born I`d like to mention the proverb "East or West- home is best".Because your home,your native place seems to be the dearest and the best place in the world.
So I live in Myrhorod. It is situated in the central part of Ukraine, Poltava province Myrhorod district. It is not a very big town,nevertheless population is about forty thousand people.Myrhorod isn`t very big industrial center,but we have some factories.
Myrhorod was first mentioned in chronicles in 1575 when Stephen Bathory, King of Poland made it a regiment city. According to some historians, there was an earlier mentioning of the city in 1530, when the city coat of arms were established - yellow cross over an eight-pointed star, which signifies the victory of Christianity over Islam.
Myrhorod was the regimental base of the Myrhorod Cossacks who were very active in several Ukrainian Cossack uprisings, particularly during the peasants-and-cossacks revolt of 1638 under the leadership of Hetman Yakiv Ostrianytsia against the Polish nobility. The Myrhorod Cossack regiment was among the best units in the army of Hetman Bohdan Khmelnytsky during the Khmelnytsky Uprising (1648–1654).After the Treaty of Pereyaslav, the city became the center for the Myrhorod regiment. The famous Sorochyntsy Fair is located 25 km from the Myrhorod.Myrhorod became famous in world literature through a cycle of Myrhorod stories by M.Hohol.Besides the central street of our town is named after this outstanding writer.
