Where to stay in Shevchenkivskyi raion
The practical side of choosing where to sleep.
Shevchenkivskyi raion is one of seven urban raions in Zaporizhzhya, and the rooms that serve all seven sit outside the 98 square kilometres drawn for this one in 1962, so the working plan is a bed elsewhere and a short ride in. The Monument to 131 pursuit aviation regiment marks the errand. Khortytskyi raion, Dniprovskyi raion, Voznesenivskyi Raion and Zavodskyi Raion all sit within that same short ride, and so does the Monument to Soviet soldiers of WWII. Pick by the errand.

About Shevchenkivskyi raion
What are the main landmarks in Shevchenkivskyi raion?
Shevchenkivskyi raion keeps two monuments. The Monument to 131 pursuit aviation regiment names one flying unit, and the Monument to Soviet soldiers of WWII widens the dedication to the whole Soviet war effort. Both stand inside the raion rather than in central Zaporizhzhya.
Wartime memory does the work here, in a raion whose own outline was drawn only in 1962, two decades after the fighting the two monuments mark.
What is the history of Shevchenkivskyi raion?
The raion dates from 1962. Zaporizhzhya was divided into urban raions for administration, and Shevchenkivskyi raion is one of the seven that resulted, given its outline nearly two decades after the war its monuments commemorate. The Monument to Soviet soldiers of WWII therefore marks an older layer than the raion around it.
So does the Monument to 131 pursuit aviation regiment. Its 98 square kilometres still count as one part in seven.
Where is Shevchenkivskyi raion?
Shevchenkivskyi raion covers about 98 square kilometres of Zaporizhzhya, one of the seven urban raions the city is divided into.
