MAP OF KHERSON UKRAINE
Kherson Oblast (Ukrainian: Херсо́нська, also called Khersonshchyna is an oblast (province) in southern Ukraine, just north of Crimea which is currently occupied by Russian military. Its administrative center is Kherson, a city under Russian occupation. The area of the region is 28,461 km2 and the population 1,016,707 (2021 est.) It is considered the 'fruit basket' of the country, as much of its agricultural production is dispersed throughout the country, with production peaking during the summer months.
The Kherson Oblast is bordered by Dnipropetrovsk Oblast on the north, the Black Sea and the disputed region of Crimea on the south, Mykolaiv Oblast on the west, and the Azov Sea and Zaporizhzhia Oblast on the east.
The Dnieper River runs through the oblast which includes the Kakhovka Reservoir.
The oblast includes (within Henichesk Raion) the northern portion of the Arabat Spit, a thin strip of land between the brackish Syvash and the Sea of Azov that is geographically part of the Crimean Peninsula. Due to Russia gaining de facto control of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea in 2014, the southern areas of Kherson were the only parts of the Crimean Peninsula under direct Ukrainian control prior to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.

ХЕРСОНЩИНА: Партизанський рух, катівні, погрози та зрадники
У цьому фільмі ми розповімо історії життя людей і громади Бериславського району, що на Херсонщині, у період російської окупації. Зокрема, про те, як місцеві жителі допомагали ЗСУ нищити ворожу техінку, про катування та допити, які проводили росіяни.

Beautiful Nature of Ukraine; Granite-steppe lands of Buh
#GraniteSteppe #lands of #Buh is a regional #landscape #park in the north-west of #Mykolaiv #Oblast in #Ukraine.
The park includes the river valley of Southern Buh and the ravine-like vallies of its tributaries: Velyka Korabelna, Bashkala, and Mertvovod. The park stretches on 70 km (43 mi) from the southern part of Pervomaisk to the town of Oleksandrivka in Voznesensk Raion. It was established in 1994 by the decision of the Mykolaiv Oblast council and is located on the territory of Pervomaisk, Arbuzynka, Domanivka, and Voznesensk districts. The area of the park is 6,267 ha (15,490 acres).
The park is located at the southern edge of the Ukrainian crystalline shield in the spurs of the Podolian and Near-Dnipro Uplands. On the territory of the park the Southern Buh cuts into the crystalline massif (array) of the Ukrainian shield the outcome of which produced many rapids in the river. On the rocky banks are apparent types of the igneous rock that reveal granite.
The Granite-steppe lands of Buh represent the leftover spur of the ancient mountains once extending for 1000 km north-west to south-east from the Slovechansk-Ovruch mountain range to the Near-Azov Upland. As the result of the denudation process only the base of those mountains were left represented by the solid crystalline type of rock. Over the last 60 million years this part of land was not subjected to flooding.
The most predominant are the Chernozem type of soil that occupies 95% of the territory. The floodplain of the Southern Buh valley and the islands partially covered by the floodplain woods and meadows. The slopes of the valley retained the parts of the rocky (petrofit) steppe and leftovers of the grass-rich of the Gramineae- type and shrub-rich steppes.
On the territory of the landscape park grows around 900 species of vascular plants, with 26 of them listed in the Red Book of Ukraine. Also the park is inhabited by no less than 9000 species of insects (56 are in the Red Book) and about 300 species of vertebrate animals (46 - in the Red Book).
On the territory of the landscape park in the valley of the Southern Buh, between villages Mihiya and Oleksandrivka are found almost 100 archeological monuments that present a continuous chronological series of Paleolithic (dating 30,000 years BCE) to the times of the formation of the Slavic ethnos. The particular interest present the remains of various people: Cimmerians, Trypillians, Sarmatians, ancient Slavic peoples, Romans.
In the park is a well-known tract Buh Gard, a historic landscape of local cultural heritage (ref#173/0/16-06) and what remains from the Cossacks settlement and a former seat of one of the districts (palanka) of the Zaporizhian Host. In 2006 due to construction of the Tashlyk HAES the tract was unlawfully flooded without any known prosecutions followed.
In 19th century Viktor Skarzhynsky created in the place of the future landscape park an arboretum.
In 2008 the Granite steppes of Buh became of the Seven Natural Wonders of Ukraine and later was nominated as the world wonder candidate.

Mysterious legends of Priingulets region combine the identity of the cultural code of Velyka Oleksandrivka community. The mixture of mystical Aratta, neo-punk, performative art, live cinema and theater, folk choir and folk compositions of Druhalev, poetry of Semion Frug and Starosilski dialects of old Belarusian language represent the authentic intangible heritage. The emerald network of the Ingulets river valley, mounds with outstanding archeological findings, the authentic rural architecture of the Ukrainian South made of shell rock and Marseille tiles, and 18th century architectural heritage by Konstantin Ton complete the material side of the local cultural code.

Містичні легенди Приінгулецького краю - так ідентифікували наші дослідження сукупність рис культурного коду Великоолександрівської ОТГ в Херсонській області. Суміш містичної Аратти, нео стім-панку, перформативного мистецтва, живого кіно та театру, народного хору та фольклорних композицій Другальова, поезії Семена Фруга та Старосільських говірок старо-білоруською мовою характеризує нематеріальну спадщину громади. Смарагдова мережа долини річки Інгулець, кургани з видатними археологічними знахідками, аутентична сільська архітектура Півдня з ракушняка та марсельської черепиці, архітектура 18 століття авторства Костянтина Тона довершують матеріальну сторону культурного коду.
