• Lavrenty Pokhilevich in "The Legend of the Populated Areas of the Kiev Province " ( 1864 ) writes:
  • "a place half a road from Kiev to Chernobyl , 45 miles from both places. It is surrounded on three sides by Pekhovka brook, which has several ponds with mills. On the northeast side, immediately after the town, forests begin, extending to the village of Zlodievka and further; to the south-east and to the south are fields formed from the destruction of forests, beyond which again forests to Kiev itself with small clearings around the villages. Land belonging to Dymer belonged to 4000 acres. Previously, even more fields belonged to, but lands lying towards s. Demidov , at the end of the last century by former Dymer’s elders, was arbitrarily assigned to private owners, the State Property Chamber is suing them in court. But the Dymer forests are famous for their vastness and quality of the trees growing in them, there are many wild animals in them, hunting for which in the past was a favorite pastime of the Dymer owners. Previously, beavers, wolverines and bears were found in them. Now only wild goats, wild boars, moose, wolves and other animals that are characteristic of the local area come across. Dymersky forests are guarded by a forest ranger from officers living in the village. Luthezha , and guards on foot and horseback, which now in the Dymer cottage up to 30 people with one non-commissioned officer.
  • During the struggle of Little Russia with Poland for faith and nationality, Dymer is mentioned as a significant city. Here the Poles slaughtered the inhabitants to the last man. In turn, the Russian people exterminated the Poles without a trace, when he managed to gain the upper hand. At the end of the wars for Little Russia, the Poles, who wanted to have a Little Russian hetman depending on them and who chose it from the Poles, chose Dymer as the seat of this official. Jan III handed the hetman's mace Eustace Gogol , who served under Doroshenko as a Podolsk colonel and was transferred to the Poles in 1674 . He was first ordered to live in Polesie in the city of Dymer with income from both here and from surrounding villages and villages. In addition, Gogol was assigned a salary from the Polish treasury. By this time should include the construction of a fortress in Dymer, the remains of which have survived to the present. In addition to ramparts and ditches, dilapidated cellars are now visible, probably powder ones. The old people here say that in the former fortress there were two guns: one on a high embankment turned to the north, the other above the cellar directed to the south. Dymer at that time enjoyed Magdeburg rights, and the inhabitants were divided into workshops, because the sign of one of the shops is stored in the Dymer church. The famous Colonel Semyon Paly , who destroyed various Polish undertakings, put an end to the Polish Dotyr hetmans and the fortress itself. In 1703, he took Dymer by storm and dispersed the Poles. Since that time, Dymer has been relegated to the degree of a place considered to be the main one in the Dymer Starostv. The inhabitants retained the memory of the lifetime owners of the headman : Kayetan Pototsky , Golievsky and the princes of Lyubomirsky .

From 1810, the treasury took Dymer and the village of Katyuzhanka at its disposal, but leased it to different people for a certain amount until 1846 , when the peasants were transferred to classes and a village administration was formed.

In 1843, at the insistence of the diocesan authorities, a parish school was opened, transformed five years later into a clerical school, in which up to 60 boys study. From the treasury assigned a salary to the mentor 100 rubles. and his assistant 80 rubles. The town has approved four annual fairs. Residents of both sexes in the town: 1043 Orthodox, 470 Jews.

In 1794, the wooden Nicholas church located in the village (which was called the Deccan Church under the union) burned down with all the church property and written acts.

After that, in the town there was only one wooden parish church in the name of St. unbroken Kosma and Damian, built in 1754 , as can be seen from the inscription around the church doors. According to the states ranked as 5th grade; the earth has 41 tithes. In 1835, a new iconostasis was built in it, and since 1852 the whole church was corrected at the expense of 1771 rubles allocated from the treasury. in silver. From the inscription on the icon of the crucifixion of the Savior, located in the altar, it appears that in 1636 there was already a church in the name of Cosmas and Damian in Dymer, into which this icon was donated by the local resident Andrei Oshumk .

In 1796, Dymer was appointed a county town, but this decision was soon reversed. From the tracts around Dymer are remarkable: a) Kotova’s grave, on the right side of the road leading to the Dymer Rudna, 7 versts from the town. It was overgrown with forest, b) Popova Gadychevka, on the road to Vakhovka with a well of light water, and near Matafiev Gadychevka with many small graves covered with centuries-old trees, c) Kamyanka on the Chernobyl road in 5 versts, where in the last century there was a distillery, water mill and 3 houses for workers. Now only the watchman lives, d) Near Dymer in 1853, 11 plots of arable land of 6 acres each were assigned from the state property department to establish families of Jewish farmers on them so that they would be brought into the village for use of these lands after a grace period management of a set fee. But this colony does not thrive on agriculture, and the Jews, after grace years have passed, return to their previous life and often abandon the agricultural colony altogether.
