Vyshhorod Raion, Administrative district in Kyiv Oblast, Ukraine.
Description
Vyshhorod Raion is an administrative district in northern Kyiv Oblast that spreads across territories around the Kyiv Reservoir. The area includes seven communities with approximately 132,000 residents and borders sections of the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone.
History
The district took its current form in 2020 when Ivankiv and Poliske Raions merged with it during administrative reform. These mergers significantly enlarged its territory and brought together areas with different development histories.
Culture
The district preserves historical sites from the Kyivan Rus period, including fortifications and archaeological remains visible throughout the administrative center. These locations shape how the area looks today and tell the story of its long past.
Practical
The area is connected by waterways and roads that link its seven communities together. Proximity to the Kyiv Reservoir and the exclusion zone requires checking local guidelines when planning a visit.
