Uman in Ukraine UKRAINE ukraine. uman Informations and links Uman Map Uman Photos Uman Population on 05-Dec-01 : 88735 ------------------------------- Uman (Ukrainian: ?????, Uman’; Polish: Huma? ), is a town in central Ukraine, Cherkasy Oblast (province). It is located at 48?45?N 30?13?E, a minor industrial center and capital of the Uman raion (administrative district). Currently about 100,000 people live in Uman. Uman is known since 1616 as a defensive fort built against Tatar raids and a prominent Cossack regiment was stationed in the town. In 1670–1674, Uman was a residence of the Hetman of right-bank Ukraine. In 1768 Massacre of Uman occurred after Cossack rebels Maksym Zalizniak and Ivan Gonta captured Uman during anti-Polish uprising known as "Koliyivschyna" in the area. In 1793 Uman became part of the Russian Empire and a number of aristocratic residences were built there. Uman's landmark is a famous park complex Sofiyivka (???i????; Polish: Zofi?wka) founded in 1796 by Count Stanislaw Szczesny Potocki, a noble Polish szlachcic, who named it for his wife Sofia. The Sofia Park has a number of waterfalls and narrow, arching stone bridges crossing the streams and scenic ravines. These bridges may have been the inspiration for the famous quote by Rabbi Nachman of Breslov (see below): "All the world is just a narrow bridge, but the main thing is not to fear." This was set to music in both Hebrew and English, and is still sung by Jews around the world. (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.) Ukraine was the center of the first Slavic state, Kievan Rus, which during the 10th and 11th centuries was the largest and most powerful state in Europe. Weakened by internecine quarrels and Mongol invasions, Kievan Rus was incorporated into the Grand Duc.
