The book tells the story of Mezhyhiria, a picturesque area not far from Kyiv. It tells about its majestic history, which is full of legends, traditions and dramatic events. The book describes in detail the functioning of the Kyiv-Mezhyhirya Monastery, starting with its legendary foundation in the twelfth century. A significant place is given to the period when it was a "military" church of the Zaporozhian Sich. The author examines the activities of the faience factory opened on the territory of the monastery after its liquidation in the late eighteenth century, the restoration of the monastery and its closure after the establishment of Soviet rule in Ukraine, and, finally, the destruction of monastery premises and churches, the destruction of the cultural heritage of the Ukrainian people for the construction of a state dacha.
