History
Zhelni is an old Russian city at the confluence of the Sula River into the Dnieper (now the village of Zhovnino, Chernobay district, Cherkasy region of Ukraine). The city was built by order of the Grand Duke of Russia Vladimir Monomakh to protect the south-eastern border of the state from attacks by nomads and became a link in the Posulsky defensive line . The chronicle reports that “in the summer of 1116 Yaropolk (the son of Vladimir Monomakh) cut down the city of Zhelni Dryuchin (to the inhabitants of Drutsk ), he himself filled them.” According to another version, the city of Zhelni was on the site of the modern village. Zelenovo near Smolensk [1] .
Near the village, in a place now flooded by the waters of the Kremenchug reservoir , a settlement was discovered - the remains of ancient Russian Zhelnya (?), First mentioned in the annals under 1116. According to Vasily Lyaskoronsky for 1901, the settlement, semicircular in plan, was fortified with an arcuate rampart. Nearby was an uninhabited village. The lifting material collected at the monument, including two lead-hanging seals of the Greek-Russian type, indicate that new fortifications in 1116 were erected on the site of an older settlement of the X (?) - XI centuries.
Near the first mentioned hillfort in 1956, S. R. Kilievich investigated the second one, which, prior to the flooding of the territory by the waters of the Kremenchug reservoir, adjoined in the east to the old riverbed. Sula, and along the rest of the perimeter a horseshoe-shaped shaft limited the area of 0.7 hectares. The settlement was similar in structure to the Warrior and was probably the harbor of Zhel. During the study, various materials were found (including a bone object with a generic sign of Vladimir Svyatoslavich ) of the late X-XIII centuries. [2]
