Voznesensk

Voznesensk ( _uk. Вознесенськ) is a city in the Mykolaiv Oblast (province) of Ukraine and a center of Voznesenskyi Raion (district). As of 2001, the city's population is 42,634.

The city was founded by Catherine II (The Great) in 1790 in a place of previously existing Sokoly cossack settlement belonging to Buh Cossack Host. City expansion plans were carried out by prince Potemkin. However, the project was abandoned shortly after Catherine's death in 1796. Despite short period of accelerated development, Voznesensk managed to attract significant number of new inhabitants and cemented its positions as one of the centers of trade in Ukrainian South.
