Voznesensk (Template:Lang-uk, Template:Lang-ru) is a city in Mykolaiv Oblast (region) of Ukraine and the administrative center of Voznesensk Raion (district). Administratively, it is incorporated as a city of oblast significance and does not belong to the raion. The city has a population of 34,050 (2021 est.).[2]
History
The city was founded by Catherine II the Great in 1795,[1] as a settlement in Novorossiya Governorate of the Russian Empire.
Voznesensk received city status in 1938.[1][3]
During World War II, the city was occupied by Axis troops from August 1941 until March 1944.
In January 1989, the population of the city was 43,881 people.[4][3]
During the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, the city saw shelling and fighting as part of the Battle of Mykolaiv and Battle of Voznesensk.[5][6] On March 2, a Russian armored column was defeated by Ukrainian forces in a battle which an article in the Wall Street Journal described as "one of the war's most decisive routs." because of its location.[7][a][9] The Ukrainian army in cooperation with local farmers destroyed a strategically important bridge and eliminated around 30 attacking Russian tanks plus other armored vehicles and a helicopter, thereby hindering a Russian advance towards Odesa and a nuclear facility nearby.[10]
Transportation
The Voznesensk railway station[1][3] is an important stop along the Odessa railroad, with direct trains available to major cities including Kyiv and Dnipro. The main bus station offers many destinations including buses to Kyiv, Mykolayiv and Kherson. Local marshrutkas (route buses) run from the center to all of the cities' microregions and surrounding villages as well as every half-hour to Mykolayiv.
Education
Voznesensk has nine schools, a lyceum, a technicum, and a college.
Recreation
Voznesensk has many available recreational opportunities. The city is situated along the Southern Buh river, where residents swim, fish, and relax on the riverbanks. To the north of Voznesensk, near Pervomaisk, the Southern Buh flows through a canyon which is famous for its whitewater rafting and mountain climbing. The stadium in the center of Voznesensk features a football pitch, tennis court, track, and playground. The sports club "VOSCO" in the third microregion has an indoor basketball/tennis court as well as a weight training room. In fall 2012, a new sports complex in the center, "Waterfall", opened, which has a swimming pool, training room and saunas.
Notable people
- Yevgeny Kibrik (1906-1978), a well-known artist who was born and grew up in Voznesensk. There is a museum featuring his art on Sobornosti Street, formerly called Lenin Street.
