History

Ostrogozsk is the historical center of Eastern Sloboda Ukraine. It was established in 1652 by Ukrainian Cossacks (Chernigov and Nezhin Regiments) as an ostrog (fortress).^[9] In 1696 Peter the Great stopped at Ostrogozhsk to meet with the Hetman of Zaporizhian Host Ivan Mazepa and Cossacks of Ostrogozhsk regiment. At the Ostrogozhsk city square "Maidan" is located a memorial commemorating the event.^[9][10] After reestablishing the Sloboda Ukraine Governorate in 1765 Ostrogozhsk ended up in the new Voronezh Governorate and same year it was granted the town rights. Since then the city became a center of the split East Sloboda Ukraine. According to the 1897 Russian census there were 1.1 million of Ukrainians (Little Russians) in Voronezh Governorate, which was only insignificantly less than the number of Russians (Great Russians).^[9] According to the 1989 Soviet Census in Voronezh Oblast there were 250,000 Ukrainians and only 75,000 during the 2002 Russian Census.^[9] In 1917-1919, the town was controlled by the Ukrainian People's Republic and the Hetmanate; over 90% of the population was Ukrainian.^[9] In 1920, Ostrogozsk became a part of Soviet Russia, while borders between the Soviet Russia and the Soviet Ukraine were not finalized until 1923-25.^[9] In 1928 Ostrogozhsk became a district's administrative center within what now is Voronezh Oblast. The town was occupied by Nazi Germany during World War II from July 5, 1942 (during the Battle of Voronezh) to January 20, 1943, when it was liberated in the course of the Ostrogozhsk–Rossosh Offensive.
