Kichkas, Historical settlement near Khortytsia Island in Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine

The Kichkas settlement was positioned along the Dnieper River where the waterway narrowed to 300 meters between rocky banks.

During the 18th century, the area contained winter quarters of Cossacks who were under the jurisdiction of the Kodak administrative division.

Archaeological expeditions near Kichkas uncovered over 100 burial mounds from the Bronze Age and Scythian periods containing weapons and ornaments.

The modern Kichkas area extends along Borodinska Street and provides internet services through Kichkas.NET with speeds up to 500 megabits per second.

Five decorated swords similar to the Sviatoslav sword type were discovered near Kichkas during the construction of the Dnieper Hydroelectric Station in 1928.
