| | Ukrainian Cossacks: 500 Years of Gallantry
The name of this city is always associated with the Ukrainian Cossacks, free wariors who fought for the independence of Ukraine against Poland and the Tatars in the 17th century and won outstanding victories.
The complex name of the city would sound like "Transrapid-City", that is "the city behind the rapids".
