Maidanetske

Maidanetske (Ukrainian: Майданецьке) is a village located within the Zvenyhorodka Raion (district) of the Cherkasy Oblast (province), about 235 kilometers (146 mi) driving distance south of Kyiv. It belongs to Talne urban hromada, one of the hromadas of Ukraine. It is a small farming community located primarily on a hill overlooking the Tal'ianki River. Maidanetske is home to one of the three district hospitals in the Talne Raion. A local museum was built in the 1990s that focuses on the ancient history of this place, including a panoramic reconstructed model of a large Cucuteni-Trypillian settlement located here in prehistoric times, as well as some of the artifacts uncovered from around the village. Until 18 July 2020, Maidanetske belonged to Talne Raion. The raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Cherkasy Oblast to four. The area of Talne Raion was merged into Zvenyhorodka Raion.
