Self-sufficient, borderline, eclectic. A big city in the steppe, a city of practical people, a city on a big river, a city where nothing is stable... Katerynoslav and Dnipropetrovsk. New Athens or new Manchester? Sicheslav, the heart of Ukraine... Dnipro.
On the pages of this book appears the history of the Dnipro in its entirety - from the first mentions to the present day. Kodak Fortress and imperial ambitions, industrial boom and multiculturalism, Dmytro Yavornytskyi and the beginnings of Ukrainian cinema. Kaleidoscopic changes of power in 1919 and Nestor Makhno, Pidmogilnyi and Honchar's "Cathedral", rockets and space, an almost thirty-year ban on the arrival of foreigners and punitive psychiatry.
The book of historians Andrii and Tatyana Portnovy is not only about events, but also about urban images and features of life in the city on the Dnieper in different historical times.
