The regiment was one of the first in the USSR to receive the SU-27 aircraft. Now the 831st tactical aviation brigade of the Center air command of the Ukrainian Air Force is located here.

The history of Mirgorod

On the northern outskirts of the city, the remains of two early Slavic settlements of the Chernyakhov culture (II-VI centuries AD) were discovered.

Already in the XV-XVI centuries, when most of Ukraine was part of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, the revival of the cities destroyed by the Tatars began. Mirgorod existed as a settlement. According to the historian D.N.Bantysh-Kamensky, the Polish king Stefan Batory in 1575 designated Mirgorod as a regimental city.

Mirgorod late 16th - early 17th century - small town, inhabited by "draft" peasants, farmers and registered Cossacks, who served the Polish king.

In the charter of King Sigismund III in 1620, it is indicated that Mirgorod was part of the Pereyaslavl headman and belonged to the noble Jan Chernyshevsky. On August 21, 1621, by a letter of gratitude from the same king, Mirgorod, together with the surrounding villages and farmsteads, were transferred to the administrator of the royal lands, Bartolomey Obalkovsky, so that "the named noble ... could correctly manage all this with benefit and ensure the protection of saltpeter." The city was in his possession for more than 10 years, then went to the noble tycoon Konetspolsky.

Mirgorod is mentioned in such a historical document of the Russian state in 1627 as "The Book to the Big Drawing".

The population of Mirgorod took an active part in the uprisings in the late 16th - early 17th centuries. So, in 1637 the Mirgorod regiment supported the uprising of unregistered Zaporozhye Cossacks led by Pavlyuk, who intended to unite with the Don Cossacks and recognize the power of the Russian state.

In 1638, Mirgorodians participated in the peasant-Cossack uprising against the Polish gentry, which was led by the hetman of the unregistered Cossacks Yakov Ostryanin (Ostryanitsa). After the battle of Lubny, Ostryashsh's army on the night of May 16-17, 1638 began to retreat to the northeast, and then turned to Mirgorod, hoping to replenish their stocks of gunpowder and food here. In Mirgorod there were large saltpeter and gunpowder pantries.

Hetman Pototsky decided to pursue the army of Ostryashsh and sent his detachment after him, which met with the detachments of atamans Murka and Repka, who were going from the Don to Ostryashsh. A big battle took place, which made it possible for Ostryanin to enter Mirgorod and stock up on what was needed. On May 30, 1638, near Sleporod, near Lubny, the battle continued. But the forces were unequal, and the Cossacks were defeated. After the suppression of the uprising, the Mirgorod regiment was abolished by order of the Sejm, and its colonel Terenty Yablonsky was forcefully tonsured into a monk.

The actions of the Ukrainian people against Polish rule escalated into the liberation war of 1648-1654. In the summer of 1648 Mirgorod was liberated from the Polish gentry invaders and it again became the regimental town of the Mirgorod regiment, the center for the production of saltpeter for the insurgent people. The Mirgorod regiment was one of the combat-ready and stable regiments in the army of Bohdan Khmelnitsky. It consisted of 14 hundred, numbered 2630 people. The regiment took part in the battles near Korsun and Zbarazh, in campaigns to Lvov and Zamosc, in Pilyavetskaya, Zborovskaya, Berestetsky, Batozka and other battles of the people's liberation war of 1648-1654. According to the register of Cossack regiments in 1650, the Mirgorod regiment numbered 3158 Cossacks and was the third largest among the 16 regiments in Ukraine.

On July 8, 1650, Bogdan Khmelnitsky visited Mirgorod. Here he negotiated with Russian ambassadors on the reunification of Ukraine with Russia.

After the Belotserkovsky agreement, part of the Cossacks from the Cossack foreman, being dissatisfied with the enslaving conditions, openly spoke out against B. Khmelnitsky. The disaffected were headed by Colonel Matvey Gladky, whom the hetman had to execute in order to end the discontent. On May 18, 1652, Gladky was buried in Mirgorod.

In January 1654, immediately after the Pereyaslav Rada, the population of Mirgorod, in the presence of Mikhail Voeikov, a representative of the Russian government, took an oath of allegiance to the alliance with the Russian people. In 1658, Mirgorodians joined a popular uprising led by Poltava Colonel Martin Pushkar against Hetman Ivan Vyhovsky and Mirgorodsky Colonel Grigory Lesnitsky, who betrayed the alliance with Russia and tried to return Ukraine to Polish rule.

The traitor hetman, with the help of the Tatar troops, cruelly dealt with the insurgent regiment and, as the chronicler testifies, "gave Mirgorod, Obukhov, Sorochintsy, Bagachka to the plundered captivity." The Tatars burned down the central part of the city, and to this day the people call this area of ​​the city "fire".

In November 1658, the Moscow boyar Romodanovsky arrived in Ukraine with a 20,000-strong army. He called on the supporters of Russia to wage a decisive war against the traitor Vygovsky. The poor people of the Mirgorod regiment responded to this call. The revolted deineks (detachments of peasants armed with stakes) took first Govtva in battle, and then Mirgorod. Romodanovsky remained in the city, while the Deineks went to Lubny.

In May-June 1666, the hetman of the Right-Bank V region, P. Doroshenko, attacked Mirgorod in order to tear it away from Russia. In one of the battles under the walls of Mirgorod, about 3 thousand Tatars, 300 Serdenyats (mercenary troops) and Germans took part.

The Mirgorod regiment has repeatedly shown heroism in the joint struggle of the two fraternal peoples against foreign invaders.

In 1695, the Mirgorodians, as part of the army of Peter I, stormed the Azov fortress, distinguished themselves in obtaining the fortresses of Kazy-Kermen, Taman, where ... "Colonel Mirgorodsky Danilo Apostol ... showed bravery more than others."

During the Northern War, the Mirgorod regiment took part in the battle of Erestfer, went "under the city of Yuryev Livonsky, which was taken from the Swedes, and the Cossacks returned home with victory."

In 1708-1709. in Mirgorod was the headquarters of Field Marshal of the Russian Army Sheremetyev, Major General Volkonsky. The local population helped the Russian troops in their struggle against Karl XII and Mazepa. In May 1709, the Mirgorodians defeated a Polish detachment that was going to help the Swedes.

In 1722, the Cossacks of the Mirgorod regiment took part in the campaign of Peter I to Derbent, where "over ten thousand Cossack troops were ordered hetman Daniel Apostol." On September 11 of the same year, the tsar visited the hetman and attended a dinner with him. The popularity of Daniel the Apostle and his military abilities (he was a colonel in Mirgorod from 1683 to 1727) contributed to the fact that with the restoration of the hetmanate in 1727 he was elected hetman of Ukraine. His son Pavel became a colonel of the Mirgorod regiment. For almost 80 years, from 1659 to 1736, the colonel's government in Mirgorod was held by the family of the Apostles (Paul, Daniel, Paul).

Mirgorodians were noted both in the Russian-Turkish 1735-1739, and in the Seven Years 1757-1762. wars. In the battle of Gross-Jegersdorf, the Mirgorod regiment, led by Colonel V.P. Kapnist (father of the Russian writer V.V.Kapnist) bravely fought the Prussians. One of the hundreds of this regiment included the great Georgian poet David Guramishvili.

At the beginning of the XVIII century, Mirgorod was a significant trade and cultural city... According to the data of 1723, the Mirgorod regiment consisted of 15 hundred, which had 4840 Resstro Cossacks. Its centesimal towns: Bagachka, Belotserkovka, Velikiye Sorochintsy, Gradizhsk, Kremenchug, Khorol, Shishaki, Yareski and others. The regiment is 82.5 thousand people. population. In particular, Mirgorod - more than 5 thousand people. They were mainly Cossacks, artisans, merchants.

Mirgorod was also known for its large fairs, to which people from distant cities came.

After the liquidation of the Mirgorod regiment, the city in 1782 became part of the Kiev governorship, and from 1796 - into the Chernigov province. Since 1897 it belongs to the Little Russian province. In 1802 Mirgorod became a district town of Poltava province. Three years after that, the city had 6334 inhabitants, among them there were 1340 state and private peasants, 437 bourgeoisie, 25 merchants, 1350 Cossacks, 129 noblemen, 121 artisans. Crafts - shoemaking, carpentry, cooper's, pottery, etc., developed widely in the city. From 1799 to 1805, 587 passports were issued to merchants for travel. At the end of the 18th and the beginning of the 19th centuries, the Mirgorod region gave many glorious names to literature, science, social and political life, which reflected the progressive views of the best part of the intelligentsia, who strove to serve the people, their freedom-loving aspirations.

The famous Georgian poet David Guramishvili lived in Mirgorod for half a century. Since 1756, having retired, he almost never parted with Mirgorod. Here he was often visited by the Ukrainian philosopher and poet G.S. Pan. Ukrainian motives occupy a significant place in the poems of the author of "Davitiani".

The poet died in Mirgorod. In 1949, a monument was erected on the grave of David Guramishvili. The street where the poet lived, the eight-year school No. 2 and the city library were named after him.

The talented Cossack icon painter Luka Borovik also lived in Mirgorod. His son V.L. Borovikovsky (1757-1825) became an outstanding Ukrainian and Russian painter, academician. The artist created about 200 portraits of his contemporaries, was the founder of the romantic realistic school of Ukrainian painting. V.V. Kapnist (1758-1823), a Russian and Ukrainian writer (he lived nearby, in the village of Velikaya Obukhovka), also visited this place often.

In the 80s, the Ukrainian historian, ethnographer and agronomist V.Ya. Lomikovsky (1778-1845). He collected documentary materials on the history of Ukraine, published in 1803 and 1805. his notes of people's thoughts, translated from French "History of Little Russian and Zaporozhye Cossacks" by Scherer, compiled a dictionary "About Little Russia ...". In 1894, the historian A. Lazarevsky managed to buy in Moscow an unknown manuscript bearing the mark "Mirgorod". This, as it turned out, was Lomikovsky's notes. N.V. Gogol, who knew Lomikovsky, reflected him as the progressive landowner "farmer" Konstazhoglo in the second part of Dead Souls.

During Patriotic War In 1812, the 6th regiment of the people's militia was formed in the Mirgorod region, its commander was Lieutenant Colonel Klimenko. On September 7, 1812, the Mirgorod district militia moved into the active army and took part in victorious battles near Krasny, Mogilev, Gorki and other cities. In the lists of those awarded with orders for heroic deeds, we meet the Mirgorodians S. I. Muravyov-Apostol, A. Frolov-Bagreev, I. Gontar and others. The outstanding Ukrainian writer I.P. Kotlyarevsky, who began his military service in the Seversky Dragoon Regiment, is stationed in the Mirgorod region.

The activity of the Decembrists is closely connected with Mirgorod. Three sons of Khomutetsky nobleman I.M. Muraviyova-Apostola - Matvey, Sergey and Ippolit - actively participated in the first Decembrist organizations. Sergei Ivanovich was one of the leaders of the Southern Secret Society.

The Decembrist Pavel Shershavitsky lived in Mirgorod, the Decembrist F.F. Vadkovsky, who proposed creating an underground printing house for printing revolutionary leaflets, brochures and other illegal literature, a member of the Southern and Northern Societies.

The great Ukrainian poet-revolutionary T.G. Shevchenko, who lived with the Cossack Korobka, stayed with the Decembrist P. Shershavitsky. In October 1845, he wrote in Mirgorod the poems "Do not envy the rich" and "Do not marry the rich", as well as the poem "Underground".

Mirgorod is one of the oldest settlements on the Left Bank Ukraine. Historians of antiquity suggest that the city appeared in the 12th century in Kievan Rus. Initially, it served as a sentry post on the eastern outskirts of the ancient Russian state and was a successful and independent territory for conducting peace negotiations between peoples and tribes. Hence, as they say, the name of the city - Mirgorod.

The history of Mirgorod is connected with the Ukrainian Cossacks. The Mirgorod Cossacks took part in the struggle for the freedom of the Ukrainian people against foreigners. The Cossack regiment was one of the most efficient in the army of Bohdan Khmelnitsky. In 1695, the Cossacks of Mirgorod, as part of the army of Peter I, stormed the fortresses of Azov and Taman.

In 1727, Danila Apostol became the hetman of the Left-Bank Ukraine, who was later buried in the Church of the Transfiguration he had founded. The temple is still an architectural example of cultural structures today. Famous icon painters, the Borovikovsky brothers, emerged from the Mirgorod family of Cossacks.

It is believed, for example, that the prototype of Taras Bulba was a real person - Colonel of the Cossack regiment Matvey Gladky. At the beginning of the 20th century, a bust of the writer in bronze was installed on the station square.

Mirgorod is a crossroads of tourist routes dedicated to Gogol and his work. On the way to the Sorochinskaya Fair in Mirgorod, many tourists stop to visit a museum dedicated to the writer. And then they stop by the city of Kibintsy, where there was a theater in the Troshchinsky palace, the chief director of which was the writer's father Gogol-Yanovsky. It was there, as a child, that the future writer fell in love with the theater.

Georgian writer David Guramishvili has lived in the city for over thirty years. In general, many cultural and scientific figures lived and often visited Mirgorod, for example, the poet G. Skovoroda.
