КАМЕНЕЦ-ПОДОЛЬСКИЙ - старая крепость
English version of the article below
Это маленький гостеприимный городок на западной Украине. Название связано со скальным характером грунта местности и в прошлом город называли просто Каменец. Двойное название встречается в более поздних летописях, где слово подолье означает «долина», «низина».
Исторический центр – старый город, можно полностью обойти пешком за несколько часов. Главная достопримечательность города – Каменец-Подольская крепость, построенная во второй половине 14 столетия. Многие века она защищала Европу от монголо-татарских набегов и ни разу за всю историю не была взята в бою, а власть менялась лишь в следствии обмана и диверсий. Военное значение сохранялось до середины 19-го века. Вблизи крепости расположен красивый старый город, античные постройки которого вы можете рассмотреть в видеоролике выше. Среди них Петропавловский кафедральный костёл, башня Стефана Батория, Ратуша, Доминикансикий монастырь, Троицкая церковь, Турецкий бастион и другие достопримечательности.
Старый Каменец-Подольский — крепость, стоящая на каменном плато. Мост охраняет огромная оборонительная цитадель с утёсами, образующая при этом единый оборонительный комплекс с городом, наводящий ужас на захватчиков более 500 лет. Именно эти сооружения позволили городу развиться в крупный ремесленнический центр и просуществовать до наших времен. Сегодня это туристический городок с гостеприимными жителями, множеством маленьких частных отелей и простой экскурсионной программой, которая позволяет посмотреть всё за один полный день. Во дворе Старой крепости кроме разнообразных мастер-классов по стрельбе из луков, сувенирных магазинов, местные умельцы пекут хлеб в глиняной печи и варят бограч (венгерский гуляш) в казанах. Также здесь нередко проводятся различные исторические фестивали и прочие развлекательные мероприятия.
Добраться до Каменца-Подольского можно без труда как железнодорожным, так и автомобильным транспортом. Из Киева проще всего ехать на поезде прямо до Каменец-Подольского. Со Львова можно ехать либо прямым автобусом, либо поездом Львов — Хмельницкий, а затем автобусом Хмельницкий — Каменец-Подольский. Из города Черновцы постоянно ходят маршрутки, проезд в которых занимает около часа. Приятных путешествий!

*****
This is a small hospitable town in western Ukraine. The name is associated with the rocky nature of the terrain and in the past the city was simply called Kamianets. The double name is found in later chronicles, where the word skirts means valley, lowland.
The historical center is the old city, you can completely go around on foot in a few hours.
The main attraction of the city is the Kamianets Podolskii fortress, built in the second half of the 14th century. For many centuries it defended Europe from the Mongol-Tatar raids and has never been taken in battle in the entire history, and power changed only as a result of deception and sabotage. Military significance remained until the middle of the 19th century. In the vicinity of the fortress is a beautiful old city, the ancient buildings of which you can see in the video above. Among them are the Peter and Paul Cathedral, the Stefan Batory Tower, Town Hall, Dominican Monastery, Trinity Church, Turkish Bastion and other attractions.
Old Kamianets Podolskii is a fortress standing on a stone plateau. The bridge is guarded by a huge defensive citadel with cliffs, forming at the same time a single defensive complex with the city, which has terrified the invaders for more than 500 years. It was these structures that allowed the city to develop into a major artisan center and survive until our time. Today it is a tourist town with hospitable residents, many small private hotels and a simple excursion program that allows you to see everything in one full day. In the courtyard of the Old Fortress, in addition to various archery workshops, souvenir shops, local craftsmen bake bread in an clay oven and cook bograch (Hungarian goulash) in cauldrons. Also, various historical festivals and other entertainment events are often held here.
You can easily get to Kamianets Podolskii either by rail or by road. From Kiev, the easiest way to travel by train is directly to Kamianets Podolskii. You can go from Lviv either by direct bus or by train Lviv - Khmelnitsky, and then by bus Khmelnitsky - Kamianets Podolskii. Minibuses constantly travel from the city of Chernivtsi, which takes about an hour to travel. Have a nice trip!

SUMMARY
=======
The Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church (UGCC; Ukrainian: Українська греко-католицька церква (УГКЦ), translit. Ukrajinsjka hreko-katolycjka cerkva; Latin: Ecclesia Graeco-Catholica Ucrainae) is a Byzantine Rite Eastern Catholic Church in full communion with the Holy See. It is the second-largest particular church (sui juris) in the Catholic Church (after the Latin, or Roman, Church).
The church is one of the successor churches to the acceptance of Christianity by Grand Prince Vladimir the Great of Kiev, in 988. Its predecessor appeared in 1596 with the signing of the Union of Brest between the Ruthenian Orthodox Church (Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth) led by Michael Rohoza and the Holy See. Following the partitions of Poland, in 1808 the eparchies of the original Ruthenian Uniate Church (Latin: Ecclesia Ruthena unita) were split three ways between the Austrian Empire (3), Prussia (1), and the Russian Empire (5). Those three eparchies under Austrian jurisdiction were reorganized as the Greek Catholic Church soon after liquidation of all five eparchies that ended up in Russia. The Greek Catholic Church in Austria became a survivor of the original uniate church of the Brest Union (the other being the Uzhhorod Union).
In 1963 the church was recognized as Ukrainian through the efforts of Yosyf Slipyi.
The ordinary (or hierarch) of the church holds the title of Major archbishop of Kiev-Halych and All Ruthenia, though the hierarchs and faithful of the church have acclaimed their ordinary as Patriarch and have requested Papal recognition of, and elevation to, this title. Major archbishop is a unique title within the Catholic Church that was introduced in 1963 as part of political compromise. Since March 2011 the head of the church is Major Archbishop Sviatoslav Shevchuk.
Within Ukraine itself, the UGCC is a minority of the religious population, being a distant second to the majority Eastern Orthodox faith. The Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church is the second largest religious organization in Ukraine in terms of number of communities. In terms of number of members, the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church ranks third in allegiance among the population of Ukraine after the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (Moscow Patriarchate) and the Ukrainian Orthodox Church - Kyiv Patriarchate. Currently, the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church predominates in three western oblasts of Ukraine, including the majority of the population of Lviv, but constitutes a small minority elsewhere in the country. The church has followed the spread of the Ukrainian diaspora and now has some 40 hierarchs in over a dozen countries on four continents, including three other metropolitan bishops in Poland, the United States, and Canada.
