Myronivka

Myronivka (Ukrainian: Миронівка, IPA: [mɪˈrɔniu̯kɐ]) is a city in Obukhiv Raion in the southeastern portion of Kyiv Oblast, Ukraine.

The city traces its history to a settlement established by some Cossack or free settler Myron Zelenyi.

A local historian Leontiy Pokhylevych in his book "The legends about settlements in Kyiv Governorate", published in 1864, wrote, "The village of Myronivka received its name from a free settler Myron Zelenyi.

The village consisted (it is then, 130 years ago) of seven ends (kutky) or parts, the actual Myronivka where the church is, Solomakhivka, Nebytivka, Sloboda, Okolotivka, Shafranivka, Rozmarynivka..." There are other legends, but in the center of each is the same name of a person Myron.

In 1923 the local railroad network was expanded after adding a railway branch between Myronivka and Kaharlyk.

On 6 August 1941 Myronivka was occupied by the German troops after weeks of intense fighting.

In the town acted several underground resistance groups supposedly led exclusively by Communists and Komsomol activists.

In 1985 in the city was established a memorial complex to the 40th victory anniversary in the Soviet Great Patriotic War.
