| | 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".

Many places to visit in Ukrania! I see you still keep some greek names in your cities - reading Herodotus now ;) Regards | Kuznetsov_Sergey Thu Feb 5, 2009 18:14 UTC
Beautiful Dnipro and Khortytsya Island! I happened to visit Zaporizhzhya in far Soviet times on our way to and from the Crimea by car. And several times I was passing by train and saw its Central railway station. May be one day... | Pawtuxet Tue Nov 25, 2008 16:09 UTC
