Exercise 4

Bila Tserkva

Bila Tserkva or Belaya Tserkov is a city in Ukraine, a significant economic, cultural and educational center of the Kyiv region, as well as a climatic and balneological resort.

Located about 87 km south of Kyiv on the Ros’ River, it is the largest city in the Kyiv region in terms of population. The city of Kyiv is a separate administrative-territorial unit within Ukraine and is not part of the Kyiv region. The population of Bila Tserkva is about 206,000 (2016), the area - 68 sq. km.

Bila Tserkva history

At the beginning of the 11th century, the nomadic raids on the southern outskirts of Kievan Rus intensified. In 1017, the Prince Yaroslav the Wise defeated the Pechenegs and forced them to move to the south. In 1032, to strengthen the southern borders along the Ros’ River, the construction of a system of guard fortresses began.

One of such fortresses was named St. Georgiy on Ros or simply Georgiy (Yuryev) (in honor of the Christian name of Yaroslav the Wise). The heart of the new settlement was a mountain with a castle and a white-stone cathedral on it.

The town was repeatedly attacked and destroyed by various nomads: Pechenegs, Polovtsy, Mongols. The last time Yuryev was devastated and burned by nomads in the 13th century. The only remaining building was a large dilapidated cathedral. Built of white stone, it served as a landmark among the local dense forests.

Therefore, a new settlement, which rose from the ruins of Yuryev, was named Bila Tserkva meaning “White Church”. During the archaeological excavations conducted in the 20th century, the remains of the church were found on the Castle Hill.
