I go to Veprin by car. Seven miles is not a detour, but tenfold mobility and ease of movement in place. The presence of customs and the not always correct attitude of traffic police officers to "foreign" numbers forced us to look not for the shortest, but for the most friendly route. Trial and error led to a road through Smolensk and Belarus with an entrance to Ukraine near Korosten.

Ovruch is the first city I enter after crossing the border. Ovruch (Vruchiy) - one of the oldest cities in Northern Ukraine - is located on the banks of the Noryn River, on hills surrounded by deep and steep ravines. It was first mentioned in the "Tale of Bygone Years" in 977 as the "City of Hands". The Drevlyans lived here at the time. To this day, the remains of a fortress of the 10th century with ramparts and ditches have been preserved in the city. And local historians say that the clinic is located on the site of the royal prison, and modern park- nothing more than a former cemetery. Today it is a small regional center with a population of 16 and a half thousand people.

Temple in the name of St. Basil

Ovruch is located on the Slovechansko-Ovruch ridge, located almost on the border of Ukraine and Belarus, and is a high-altitude ridge 60 km long and 5 km wide in the east to 14-20 km in the west. On all sides, the ridge is surrounded by lowland plains - Polissya swamps. The southern slopes of the ridge are steep, the northern slopes are gentle. There are many ravines, their depth reaches 20-25 m. The territory of the Slovechansko-Ovruch ridge is rich in archaeological monuments: on the banks of the rivers Ubort (10 km west of the ridge) and Noryn, sites of Mesolithic reindeer hunters, settlements of the Bronze Age Corded culture were found. Traces of Neolithic settlements and burial grounds of the 5th - 4th millennium BC. were found on the Castle Hill in Ovruch, artifacts of the Bronze Age (II millennium BC) were also found there.

The main attraction of Ovruch - at least for me - Vasilevsky Church - a real old woman, she is already a thousand years old. She represented the Zhytomyr region at the 100 Wonders of Ukraine competition. Prince Vladimir himself converted the locals to Christian faith, and on the site of a pagan idol, as historians suggest, the foundation of a wooden church was laid, which stood for 100 years before the construction of a stone temple. The walls of the temple are thick, interspersed with pieces of quartzite - fire-resistant materials. During the years of Stalinist repressions, they wanted to destroy the church, it was saved only by the name of the architect-restorer Alexei Shchusev, who was the author of Lenin's mausoleum.

The ancient Drevlyansk city of Vruchiy was first mentioned in The Tale of Bygone Years.

The price of the issue was high - the Kyiv throne. During the battle, Prince Oleg fell into a defensive ditch and was crushed in the crowd. The chronicle tells that Yaropolk was sad, but apparently not for long. However, he also ended badly. There was also a third brother, Vladimir - the same one who is the Red Sun and the baptist of Russia.
