Konotop – Open Investment Area! Local economic development plan, Konotop city UTC Sumy region PLAN LOCAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT Konotop City United Territorial Community Konotop – open investment area! This Plan was prepared with technical support from the Mayors for Economic Growth initiative of the European Commission. It was reviewed by the experts of the World Bank and commended as good by the Mayors for Economic Growth initiative. Its content is owned by and remains the sole responsibility of Konotop City Council. Ukraine December - 2019 1 Local economic development plan, Konotop city UTC Sumy region Preface Dear community partners, Konotop is a city of Cossack glory, a powerful railway junction with developed infrastructure, located in the most picturesque and ecologically clean part of Slobozhanshchina. By joining the European Union's Initiative “Mayors for Economic Growth”, we have made a voluntary commitment to channel every effort into creating a favorable business environment for community economic growth as well as attracting investment and increasing employment. Being aware of future challenges, a fundamentally new approach to planning has been applied in consolidation with the private sector and local community. The Local Economic Development Plan has been devised due to effective teamwork, systematic involvement and constant round-table discussions. Our city has a number of problems, but at the same time it has considerable potential for development. City officials, local community leaders, and the business community feel responsible for the future of the community, they are ready to collaborate, dedicate their time and resources to achieve the targets that were jointly defined and outlined in the Plan. We want the Konotop city United Territorial Community to become a truly open investment area and developing the Plan is the first step towards the community well-being. I am absolutely convinced that the realization of the planned intentions will allow developing Konotop as a territory comfortable for life, work, comprehensive personality development, implementation of project initiatives and profitable investment. The community is the only "organism" and it depends on each of us whether its economy will be healthy. Development is possible only through interaction, so we are open to dialogue, we are interested in cooperation and effective partnership!

  • Kiev 1941: Hitler's Battle for Supremacy in the East
    Kiev 1941 In just four weeks in the summer of 1941 the German Wehrmacht wrought unprecedented destruction on four Soviet armies, conquering central Ukraine and killing or capturing three-quarters of a million men. This was the battle of Kiev – one of the largest and most decisive battles of World War II and, for Hitler and Stalin, a battle of crucial importance. For the first time, David Stahel charts the battle’s dramatic course and after- math, uncovering the irreplaceable losses suffered by Germany’s ‘panzer groups’ despite their battlefield gains, and the implications of these losses for the German war effort. He illuminates the inner workings of the German army as well as the experiences of ordinary soldiers, showing that with the Russian winter looming and Soviet resistance still unbroken, victory came at huge cost and confirmed the turning point in Germany’s war in the east. David Stahel is an independent researcher based in Berlin. His previous publications include Operation Barbarossa and Germany’s Defeat in the East (Cambridge, 2009).

  • Warfare, State and Society on the Black Sea Steppe, 1500-1700
    Warfare, State and Society on the Black Sea Steppe, 1500–1700 In the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries Muscovy waged a costly struggle against the Crimean Khanate, the Ottoman Empire, and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth for control of the fertile steppe above the Black Sea. This was a region of great strategic and economic importance – arguably the pivot of Eurasia at the time. Yet, this crucial period in Russia’s history has, up until now, been neglected by historians. Brian L. Davies’s study provides an essential insight into the emergence of Russia as a great power. The long campaign took a great toll upon Russia’s population, economy, and institutions, and repeatedly frustrated or redefi ned Russian military and diplo- matic projects in the West. The struggle was every bit as important as Russia’s wars in northern and central Europe for driving the Russian state-building process, forcing military reform and shaping Russia’s visions of Empire. Warfare, State and Society on the Black Sea Steppe, 1500–1700 examines the course of this struggle and explains how Russia’s ultimate prevalence resulted from new strategies of military colonization in addition to improvements in army command-and-control, logistics, and tactics.

The regional features of the clustering process of the tourism services market are studies and the ways of its intensification are demonstrated. The sectoral and territorial structure of the industrial tourism in the Sumy region is characterized. In the context of industrial tourism, the Sumy region is a diversified complex that combines large-sized and medium-sized industrial enterprises which are specialized in extraction of energy resources, the development of machinery, the chemical and petrochemical industry, and the processing of agricultural products. Taking into account the geographical peculiarities, six industrial tourism clusters (ITCs) are se- lected in the area of the Sumy region, i.e. territorial combinations of industrial, agricultural, transport or service enterprises that have a tourist attraction and conduct excursions to their production sites.
