Vyshhorod Raion (Ukrainian: Вишгородський район) is a raion (district) in Kyiv Oblast, Ukraine. Its administrative center is the city of Vyshhorod. It has a population of 132,136 (2022 estimate).[1]

On 18 July 2020, as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, the number of raions of Kyiv Oblast was reduced to seven, and the area of Vyshhorod Raion was significantly expanded. Two abolished raions, Ivankiv and Poliske Raions, as well as the cities of Slavutych and Vyshhorod, which were previously incorporated as cities of oblast significance and did not belong to the raion, were merged into Vyshhorod Raion.[2][3] The January 2020 estimate of the raion population was 76,347 (2020 est.).[4]

Description

[edit]

The raion was created on April 12, 1973, from territories of Ivankiv Raion and Kyiv-Sviatoshyn Raion. The raion is located around the Kyiv Reservoir. Its administrative center is at the southern edge of the territory.

Before 2020, the raion bordered four other raions of Kyiv Oblast and two other regions of Ukraine – the city of Kyiv and Chernihiv Oblast. To the north and northwest from the raion Ivankiv Raion was located which also included territory of the former Chernobyl Raion, to the west there was Borodianka Raion, to the southwest Vyshhorod Raion bordered with Kyiv-Sviatoshyn Raion, to the south with Obolon Raion of the city of Kyiv, to the southeast with Brovary Raion, while to the east and northeast it bordered Kozelets Raion of Chernihiv Oblast.

Former President of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych's private residence Mezhyhirya is located near the village of Novi Petrivtsi.[5][6][7][8]

[edit]

After the reform in July 2020, the raion consisted of 7 hromadas:[3]

There are no official residents in the Chernobyl exclusion zone which is under special administration from a state agency. Due to elevated radiation certain people are allowed to live who are known as samosely. The city of Slavutych, an exclave in Chernihiv Oblast, remains a de facto company-type of community connected with the Chernobyl exclusion zone.
