Since 1569 it was a part of Poland. And only in 1667 it became a part of Russia. The town is also well-known thanks to Poltava battle, when Peter the Great with his army defeated the Swedish army of Karl XII.

That day was absolutely like all previous here, exept one thing.I woke up with strange feelings. As usual I went to check all systems of my ship called Earth and looked at the window... "Why not Mud?"- had asked with laughter some of my friends. They never trusted in stories about "people". They say, only children believe, that people exist. My friends think, only the ideal form of life can live in this cruel world. Maybe they are right, robots are ideal... But let's get back to me, standing alone in my ship and looking at a wonderful blue planet. I couldn't be wrong, that was Earth.
