Редакция S04E233 - Что за город оставила Россия и вернула Украина? / Редакция контекст

The main news of recent days is the retreat of Russian troops from Kherson. The city was occupied on March 3 and became the only regional center that came under the control of Russia.

In the new issue of "Editorial. Context" we decided to study the city in more detail, which does not leave the news headlines.

Why is Kherson called Kherson? What role did he play in the Empire and later in the USSR? And what significance (other than symbolic) does Kherson have for Russia and Ukraine now?
