3 unusual facts about Slavyansk


Slavyansk

In the 18th century, Slavyansk was also the name of the city now known as Nikopol, Ukraine; thus the local Orthodox diocese was known as that of "Slavyansk and Kherson".

Slavyansk-na-Kubani

In 1958, it was incorporated as the town of Slavyansk-na-Kubani (so called in order to distinguish it from the eponymous city in Ukraine).

After the fall of the Genoese power in the Pontic region, the site was abandoned until 1747 when the Crimean Khanate erected a small fort, known in Russian sources as Kopyl.
