Zarub is a city of Ancient Rus of the XI — XIII centuries, later known as the village of Zarubintsy, Kanevsky district, Kiev province ( Pereyaslav-Khmelnitsky district, Kiev region, USSR ) [1] .
The first chronicle news of him dates back to 1096; it shows that Zarub was standing on the right side of the Dnieper, and there was a ford near it (Zarubsky ford [2] ). From other references to Zarub in the annals of Lavrentievskaya, Ipatievskaya and others it follows that Zarub stood below Kiev and below Vitichev. Karamzin , referring to the Book of the Big Drawing, first indicated his place in the present village of Zarubintsy. I. I. Sreznevsky places it against the mouth of the Trubezh River. Zakrevsky , not agreeing either with Karamzin or Sreznevsky, said that Zarub was standing 60 versts from Kiev and that there was another Zarub in the Smolensk province , which Karamzin (v. II, note 411) renamed Zarubino in vain [1] . Mentioned in the annals 1096, 1146, 1151, 1156, 1223 in describing the military actions of the princes [3] .
Later researchers - N. F. Belyashevsky , P. Lebedintsev and Grushevsky - put him on an elevated peninsula near the former village of Zarubintsy. Between Zarubintsy and the village of Monastyrk there was a mound of the princely epoch with hermits caves [1] . In 1948–1949, under the direction of M. K. Karger, near Zarub, archaeological excavations were carried out in the natural boundary of the Church, within which the remains of two stone churches of the Zarub monastery (XI-XII centuries), decorated with frescoes, mosaics and irrigated ceramic tiles were discovered [3 ] . Zarub monastery was destroyed by the Tatars; in its place was later built Trakhtemirovsky monastery [4] .
Not far from Zarub, Varyazhsky Island was located somewhere [1] .
According to the results of archaeological excavations, Zarubintsy culture , the archaeological culture of the early Iron Age, was singled out in the area of the city (and later of the village). At the moment, the area is flooded by the waters of the Kanevsky reservoir [5] .
Hero of the Soviet Union Garegin Shegievich Balayan was buried in Zarubintsy [6] .
