Korsun-Shevchenkovskyi (ukr. Корсунь-Шевченківський) is a city located in central Ukraine, situated in the Cherkassy region, on the Ros River. It is one of the more historic cities of Ukraine, with a rich past.
The city is named after Taras Shevchenko, a prominent Ukrainian poet, painter and national activist who is one of the most prominent representatives of Ukrainian literature. Although Shevchenko was not directly associated with the city, his figure is extremely important to Ukrainian culture, and the renaming of the city to Korsun-Shevchenkovsky took place in the 1960s to pay tribute to his work.
Today Korsun-Shevchenkovsky is a city that is growing both industrially and in terms of tourism. Although it is not a large city, it has a rich offer for tourists and historians. Its historical role, especially in the context of Ukraine's struggle for independence and its ties to Taras Shevchenko, make it an important point on the country's map.
