Henichesk (Ukrainian: Гені́чеськ, translit. Heniches’k, pronounced [ɦeˈn⁽ʲ⁾i.t͡ʃesʲk]) is a port city along the Sea of Azov in the Kherson Oblast of southern Ukraine. It serves as the administrative centre of Henichesk Raion. Henichesk hosts the administration of the Henichesk urban hromada, one of the hromadas of Ukraine.[1] It had a population of 19,253 (2021 est.)[2]
History
Henichesk was founded as a fort by the Russian Empire in 1784 and from 1812 was also known as Ust-Ozivske. It was a port and a trade center on the salt route that went from Crimea north to Ukraine and Russia. At the turn of the 20th century, it was the location of one of the largest flour mills in southern Ukraine.[3]
During World War II, the town was occupied by Germany. The Germans operated a Nazi prison in the town.[4]
2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine
On 24 February 2022, Henichesk was seized by the Russian army in the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
During the Russian capture, a famous incident occurred where an old woman confronted Russian soldiers and said "Put sunflower seeds in your pockets so they grow on Ukraine soil when you die."[5] The city was also the scene of the death of Vitalii Skakun, who died blowing up a bridge to stop the Russian advance.[6][better source needed][7][8][9]
On 3 June Volodymyr Zelenskyy decreed the creation of a military administration for the city.[10]
Climate
Under the Köppen climate classification, Henichesk has a humid continental climate that closely borders on a semi-arid climate with cold winters and warm summers.
