Dear friends ! I’m glad to greet you in one of the oldest cities of Europe. The history of Chernihiv extends back over 1300 years. During this time the city passed through ups and downs, but has always been and still remains one of the most powerful cultural and industrial centers of the country. Our advantage with the others is geographical location of Chernihiv region. We have common border with Russia and Belarus. Also Chernihiv is located not far from the capital of Ukraine, Kyiv (140 km.).

 The availability of natural, recreational and labor resources, high levels of education, environment, architectural monuments of different eras, especially the unique ancient temples of Old Russ, period create a unique atmosphere of the city. This atmosphere is not only pleasant to live and rest, but also favorable for the accomplishment of new labor achievements. Hardworking, sincere and decent people live in Chernihiv, who wholeheartedly welcome guests and all those interested in our city. I hope that Chernihiv will meet all your expectations. Best regards Chernihiv City Mayor O. V. Sokolov
