General information about Pereyaslav

Pereyaslav is a cozy provincial town-museum on the river Trubizh, on the left bank of the Dnipro.

For the first time Pereyaslavl was mentioned in the treaty between Rus and Byzantium in 907 as one of the four largest cities of the Kyiv state. An ancient legend attributes the foundation of the city to the Kyiv prince Volodymyr the Great, who defeated the Pechenihy army here in 992. According to The Tale of Bygone Years, the battle was preceded by a duel between a young Rus hero-kozhumyaka (a possible prototype of the fabulous Kyrylo Kozhumyaka) with the famous Pechenihy warrior, in which the young hero won, thereby "surpassing the glory" of the Pechenihy giant.

In princely times Pereyaslavl was a fortress on the southern border of Kyiv Rus, a trade center, as well as the first spiritual capital of the country - the residence of the Kyiv metropolitans (while Sophia of Kyiv was being built). It was ruled by Volodymyr Monomakh, Yuriy Dovhoruky, Volodymyr Hlibovych and others. The city had two stone castles (princely and episcopal), 8 churches. After the Mongol-Tatar invasion of 1239, only the foundations of ancient Rus buildings were preserved.

In 1654, the Pereyaslav Rada took place in the revived city, which proclaimed the annexation of Ukraine to Moskovia.

Until 1782 Pereyaslav was a regimental town, a significant center of education. The philosopher Hryhoriy Skovoroda, the poet Taras Shevchenko, and other cultural figures lived and worked here.

The National Historical and Ethnographic Reserve "Pereyaslav" unites 25 museums, incl. the famous skansen - Museum of Folk Architecture and Life of the Middle Dnipro Region.

Переяслав - затишне провінційне місто-музей на річці Трубіж, на лівому березі Дніпра.

У княжі часи Переяславль був фортецею на південному кордоні Київської Русі, торговим центром, а також першої духовною столицею країни - резиденцією київських митрополитів (поки будувалася Софія Київська). Тут правили Володимир Мономах, Юрій Довгорукий, Володимир Глібович та інші. В місті було два кам'яних замки (княжий і єпископський), 8 храмів. Після монголо-татарської навали 1239 року збереглися тільки фундаменти давньоруських будівель.

В 1654 році у відродженому місті відбулася Переяславська рада, яка проголосила приєднання України до Московії.

До 1782 року Переяслав був полковим містом, значним центром освіти. Тут жили і працювали філософ Григорій Сковорода, поет Тарас Шевченко, інші діячі культури.

Національний історико-етнографічний заповідник "Переяслав" об'єднує 25 музеїв, в тому числі відомий скансен - Музей народної архітектури та побуту Середньої Наддніпрянщини.

Temple , Architecture

Church of Saints Borys and Hlib in Pereyaslav was built in the early XIX century on the site where in 1015 by order of Svyatopolk Okayannyi was killed Prince Borys, son of Volodymyr the Baptist, who became one of the first Rus saints.

The first shrine at the confluence of the Alta and Trubizh was erected by the will of Prince Volodymyr Monomakh. In 1125, according to the chronicles, Monomakh died "near his favorite church built on the Alta, seventy-two years from birth." After some time Borys and Hlib Church was destroyed by the Polovtsians, but in 1806-1839 it was rebuilt in the style of classicism.

Architectural monument of national importance. The main shrine is a stone cross that pours myrrh, made in 1664 by the folk craftsman Kharko Bespaly. In fact, the Saints Borys and Hlib Church was built around it. The anointing of the cross began in the 1980s.

To mark the 1000th anniversary of the deaths of Saints Borys and Hlib, an eight-meter wooden cross has been erected on the church grounds.
