GOMEL
Gomel is the second-largest Belarusian city where nearly half a million people live, work and study.
Archaeological evidence indicates that the first settlements on its territory were established as early as the Neolithic Period and Bronze Age, whereas a fortified settlement at the site of the ancient citadel wherefrom the city began growing and expanding (on a high bank at the confluence of the full-flowing river Sozh and the small river Gamyajuk) was built in the early 11th century. The first documentary reference to Gomel (at that time called Gomey) is found in the Ipatiev chronicle which contains an account of events of 1142. In historical literature one can also come across the following names - Gomiy, Gomin, Gom, and Gom'e.
Originally it was part of the Chernigov Principality and later passed to the Novgorod-Seversk lands. The city was temporarily owned by Kiev and Smolensk princes as well. In 1335, Gomel was annexed by Olgierd to the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and 160 years later presented by Alexander Jagiellonczyk to Simyeon Mozhaisky. However, in less than 40 years it reverted to the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. Surprisingly, Gomel acquired its coat of arms in 1560, long before it adopted the Magdeburg Law (1670), while normally the reverse was the case.
For a long time the city had a private status. It was owned, in turn, by B. Sapega, M. Radziwill, M. Czartoryski and after the partition of Rzeczpospolita (the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth) was presented by the empress to the Field Marshal P. Rumyantsev-Zadunaisky and his son. In 1831, it was bought back by the Treasury and then sold to another Field Marshal I. Paskevich-Eryvansky. Each owner, naturally, left his trace in the history of the city, but the citizens of Gomel accord particular respect to the memory of the last proprietress -Iryna Paskevich (1836-1925), who was the founder and patron of numerous educational and health institutions and contributed to the city's spiritual and cultural development.
Incidentally, at that time Gomel enjoyed a most vigorous growth. For example, in 1858, it comprised some 13.5 thousand citizens, in 1900, as many as 44 thousand, while in 1926, according to the national census, it was home to over 86 thousand. Gomel has been maintaining such high rates of development to our time - it boasts numerous scientific, educational and cultural centers, large industrial enterprises, well-developed urban infrastructure, and railway, motor, shipping and air communications junctions. At the same time, Gomel is a very beautiful and comfortable city.
