Baranivka (city)
Baranivka ( uk, Баранівка, russian: Барановка, pl, Baranówka, yi, באראניווקע ''Baranivke'') is a city in Zviahel Raion in the Zhytomyr Oblast of Ukraine. Prior to the 2020 administrative reform, it was the administrative centre of the former Baranivka Raion. Population: In 2001 the population was 12,584. The name either comes from the old Slavic language, where means ''swamp'', or from Old East Slavic, where means ''Sheep, ram''. The Slavic meaning of the word is given not coincidentally as the town is located in close proximity to the Pinsk Marshes, Prypiat Marshes. In Zhytomyr Oblast, between Zviahel and Korosten, there is another small town of Barashi, about 50 km northeast from Baranivka.

List Of Cities In Ukraine
This is a complete list of cities in Ukraine. On 1 January 2022, there were 461 cities ( uk, місто, ''misto'') in Ukraine. City status is granted by the Verkhovna Rada, the Ukrainian parliament. The city status is only partially related to the size of a populated place in Ukraine. Smaller settlements are urban-type settlements (comparable to towns in English-speaking countries) and villages ( uk, село, ''selo''). Historically, there were systems of city rights, granted by the territorial lords, which defined the status of a place as a ''misto'' or ''selo''. Cities were self-governing and had several privileges. The list of cities is ordered by 2021 estimates of population and compared to the 2001 Ukrainian Census, except for Chernobyl for which population is an unofficial estimate. The cities with special status are shown in ''italic''. Cities in Ukraine Jump to table of cities See also * Geography ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Sheep
Sheep or domestic sheep (''Ovis aries'') are domesticated, ruminant mammals typically kept as livestock. Although the term ''sheep'' can apply to other species in the genus ''Ovis'', in everyday usage it almost always refers to domesticated sheep. Like all ruminants, sheep are members of the order Artiodactyla, the even-toed ungulates. Numbering a little over one billion, domestic sheep are also the most numerous species of sheep. An adult female is referred to as a ''ewe'' (), an intact male as a ''ram'', occasionally a ''tup'', a castrated male as a ''wether'', and a young sheep as a ''lamb''. Sheep are most likely descended from the wild mouflon of Europe and Asia, with Iran being a geographic envelope of the domestication center. One of the earliest animals to be domesticated for agricultural purposes, sheep are raised for fleeces, meat (lamb, hogget or mutton) and milk. A sheep's wool is the most widely used animal fiber, and is usually harvested by shearing. In Commonw ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Korosten serves as the administrative center of the Korosten Raion (district) . As of January 2022 Korosten's population was approximately Name There are different theories about the origin of the name of the city. The name may be derived from the word ''korost'', 'brushwood, bushes, shrubbery'; the form ''Iskorosten'' sometimes found in early sources is probably based on the common repetition of prepositions in Old East Slavic: ''iz grada iz''... 'from the city from...'. Another theory holds that the city was built entirely of wood, and its walls were surrounded by an oak fence, unhewn, with bark, leading to the name Is-koro-sten, i.e. the city "from bark on the wall" in Ukrainian. Alternatively, the city might have been named after the sun god Khors/Xors (Horus) - the m ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
