'plantations', pronounced [ˈbɑxmɐtʃ] ⓘ) is a city located in Nizhyn Raion of Chernihiv Oblast (province), in northern Ukraine.

In January 1919, the city was the site of battles between the invading Bolsheviks forces and the Chornomorska Division, which was attempting to keep the Left-bank Ukraine under the control of the army of the Ukrainian National Republic (UNR).

it indicates that there was, perhaps at the end of the first millennium BC in Kyiv and Chernihiv, areas of Turkish people from the Turk hordes, which whom called the land their settlement.

"However, the most authoritative historian of the city, Vladimir Stepanovich Yevfymovskyy, indicates that the settlement is based on the Bakhmach River, and thus originated in an agricultural tradition.

First mentioned in 1147 in "The Tale of Bygone Years" from the Hypatian Codex, and belonged to the Chernigov principality, but soon was destroyed along with the cities Vyvolozh, White Tower, Unizh (now the village Syvolozh, Białowieża and the city of Nizhyn) during the feudal strife between the princes Olegovichy Chernihiv and Mstislavovich Kyiv.

At the end of the 17th century, near Bakhmach, Mazepa "sponsored" the construction of the palace park plantation VI.

In October 1708, Mazepa was sent from the palace to Charles Bystrytsky XII with a statement: "Come to Bakhmach yourself and publicly swear on the Gospel... that is not for the own private profit, but for the common good of the whole of the motherland and the troops will give the patronage to the King of Sweden."

There were: 888 farm yards, three Orthodox churches, 2 schools, one post office, an inn, 10 stood houses, a shop, a windmill, some markets and annual fairs.

The military command of the Central Rada resumed quickly and Ukrainian authorities took control of the important railway point.

January 15, 1918 Troops from Moscow and the Petrograd Bolsheviks with the Red Cossacks regiment stormed Bakhmach and captured the City Council and the railway junction.

[8] This led to the mass death of children and the elderly, as well as provoked the adult population of Bakhmach to openly resist the occupation authorities.

[11][12] In addition to industrial construction, the city's social and cultural sphere was developing with a communist bias.

However, the schools operated irregularly during this time, as most children were suffering from the famine organized by the Soviet authorities.

At the same time, Orthodox churches were closed and destroyed, and people's religious beliefs were mercilessly ridiculed, while the clergy were persecuted.

Trains could not escape the hub because some of the tracks on bypass routes were damaged by devastating German air raids.

At two o'clock, German aviation bombed this cluster of trains, turning the Bahmach-Kyivsky station into ruins.

On the Communist Petrovsky Street (now Dankivskyi Shliakh), which ran parallel to the Bahmach-Kyivsky station, not a single house survived, and all buildings were burned down completely.

Due to the desire of the Red Army command to stop the Germans at any cost, Bachmach suffered enormous destruction.

After the return of the Red Army, the NKVD of the USSR authorities began a terror campaign against the local population.

Local residents tried to stop the convoy on their own by blocking tank tracks with makeshift objects and convincing Russian soldiers not to move towards Kyiv.

[13][14] Today, Bachmach is an important railway junction for five directions: Moscow, Kharkiv, Dnipro, Kyiv, and Minsk.

The city has three railway stations: Social, cultural, and educational institutions in the city include three full-time and one evening secondary schools, a gymnasium, a school of arts, a local history museum, eight libraries, a central district hospital, three clinics, a district House of Culture, a railway workers' club, and a Student House.
