Mykolaiv Oblast

Mykolaiv Oblast extends across 24,600 square kilometers of plains sloping towards the south, with rivers flowing into the Black Sea through its territory.

The region received the Order of Lenin in 1958 and underwent substantial development as a naval and maritime center during the Soviet period.

Education centers, including Admiral Makarov National University of Shipbuilding and Petro Mohyla Black Sea State University, strengthen the maritime expertise of the region.

The oblast contains four administrative districts and maintains several ports connecting international trade routes through the Black Sea waterways.

Archaeological excavations near Mykolaiv revealed a fifth-century BC Greek vessel, confirming ancient maritime activities in these waters.
