The church in the reconstructed Zaporozhian Sich complex on the Khortytsia Island

250 years since the founding of the city of Zaporizhzhia (1770)
The modern city of Zaporizhzhia dates back to the founding  is associated with the construction of a complex of fortresses, These territories were called the "Wild Fields", because they were not under the control of any state (it was the land between the highly eroded borders of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, the Grand Duchy of Moscow, and the Ottoman Empire).
In 1552 Dmytro Vyshnevetsky erected wood-earth fortifications on the small island Little Khortytsia which is near the western shore of Khortytsia island. Archeologists consider these fortifications to be a prototype for the Zaporizhian Sich — the stronghold of the paramilitary peasant regiments of Cossacks.
