  • Central Ukraine
    © Lonely Planet Publications 98 www.lonelyplanet.com 99 Central Ukraine This region is known as the home of Ukraine’s famed black loam, the rich soil that puts the bread on the table in Ukraine – the ‘breadbasket of Europe’. But you’ll find more than just chornozem (black earth) in this region where Cossacks once roamed. Unbeknownst to many, CENTRAL UKRAINE the land known as Polissya, which lies largely between Kyiv and the Belarusian border to the north, is naturally forested, giving outdoorsy types ample chance to scale cliffs, pick berries, swing birches or sashay in the flowing waters of the region’s many rivers. One can imagine poets being equally content here. South of Kyiv the forests of Polissya yield to the vast flatlands of Podillya. Before WWII this region lay at the heart of the Jewish Pale of Settlement, birthplace of the Jewish shtetl (village). Catherine the Great established the Pale (demarcation line), which stretched north to Lithuania and west into Poland, in the late 18th century to remove Jews from Russia and mark the area in which they were allowed to live. Hasidism was founded in Podillya in the 17th century, and the region is peppered with tombs of Hasidic masters that draw scores of Jewish pilgrims. The Nazis obliterated practically every trace of central Ukraine’s Jewish culture, but the odd poignant reminder remains in the form of a decrepit Jewish cemetery, a forgotten mass burial site or the testimony of an aging eyewitness to the Nazi horror. The jewel of central Ukraine lies at the southern border of Podillya: Kamyanets-Podilsky, a granite ‘island’ in the sky surrounded by the natural moat of the Smotrych River.
