Киевская крепость. Kiev Fortress
Как считают многие историки, это самая большая земляная крепость Европы и вторая по величине в мире – такова киевская крепость. Не сделав ни одного выстрела, она в свое время разрушила половину города – из-за ее строительства пришлось выселять жителей целого района – Печерска и отселять большое количество жителей. Крепость строилась в несколько этапов – с 1706 по 1870-е годы. Основная часть сооружений (Новая Печерская крепость) возведена в 1830-50-х годах, при императоре Николае первом.
Истории киевской крепости как фортификационного сооружения и как политической тюрьмы посвящен музей на территории одного из укреплений, входящих в крепостной комплекс – «Косого капонира». Капонир был возведен в 1844 году и представляет собой полуподземное сооружение с толстыми стенами из кирпича и камня. В стенах расположены амбразуры и бойницы для стрельбы из пушек и ружей. Название объясняется тем, что для удобства ведения артиллерийского флангового огня Косой капонир расположен под углом к земляному валу крепости и поэтому получил название «Косой».
Ukraine: What happened in Kiev's Maidan square?
Subscribe to BBC News youtube.com/bbcnews
On 20 February 2014, more than 50 anti-government protesters were shot dead in Kiev's Maidan square. The massacre triggered the collapse of Ukraine's pro-Russian government, prompting Moscow to annex Crimea and sparking a separatist war in the east. At the time, riot police were blamed for the deaths, but they were not the only ones shooting that day. The BBC's Gabriel Gatehouse, who witnessed the shootings, returned to investigate.

Київська фортеця / Kiev fortress Вал та Головна брама Госпітального укріплення
Київська фортеця ./ Киевская крепость Вал та Головна брама Госпітального укріплення Київ 23.08.2018
Матеріал з Вікіпедії -Ки́ївська форте́ця (також Нова́ Пече́рська форте́ця) — історико-архітектурна пам'ятка. Комплекс фортечних споруд XVIII–XIX століття розміщений на пагорбах високого правого берега Дніпра, обмежених з півночі Кловським яром, з півдня і заходу — схилами долини р. Либідь. Складається з кількох земляних укріплень (цитаделі, Звіринецького, Васильківського, Госпітального, Лисогірського) і низки споруд, що призначалися для військових казарм, виробництва та зберігання зброї, амуніції тощо. Національний історико-архітектурний музей «Київська фортеця» знаходиться на території Головного військового клінічного шпиталю міста Києва/ Київська фортеця є комплексом оборонних споруд Києва, який формувався протягом 15-ти століть. До складу Київської фортеці входять Києво-Печерська лавра, територія національного музею історії України у Другій світовій війні, завод «Арсенал» і багато інших об'єктів: валів та оборонних мурів Києва.
Історія фортифікації Києва почалась наприкінці V — початку VI століття з городища на Старокиївській горі. Тоді воно було укріплене земляними валами, ровами та частоколами. Але зі здобуттям Києвом слави столиці Київської Русі створено велику систему укріплень міста. Кожна частина міста мала свою оборонну систему. На жаль, після нищівної поразки від хана Батия 1240 року фортифікаційні укріплення занепали. Новий етап починається вже в період польсько-литовського владарювання — зводиться фортеця-замок на горі Хоривиця на Подолі (Литовський замок). Вже перебуваючи під владою Московії, на території Києва були збудовані фортечні укріплення від Хрещатика до Печерська — власне останнє укріплення було розбудоване. Цих заходів вжили з метою запобіганню ризику проникнення ворога через територію тодішньої України до Росії. У 1679 році козацькі війська під керівництвом гетьмана Самойловича протягом останніх років XVII століття об'єднують старокиївські та печерські укріплення — утворюється одна величезна фортеця. На початку XVIII століття Печерська цитадель вже була повністю розбудована.
Наступний період розбудови оборонних споруд Києва визначається будівництвом Печерської цитаделі під проводом гетьмана Івана Мазепи за наказом Петра I. Спорудження відбувалось за системою французького інженера Вобана. Напередодні франко-російської війни 1812 року за проектом військового інженера Оппермана споруджується земляне Звіринецьке укріплення, що поєднується з Печерською цитаделлю. Масштабні реконструкції проводяться за правління царя Миколи I, який затвердив план розширення фортеці. На початок 60-х років XIX століття вона складалася з таких частин: ядро — цитадель, два самостійних укріплення (Васильківське і Госпітальне), доповнені оборонними казармами і вежами.
Реконструкція передбачала залишити території поблизу фортеці лише для військових цілей, а мешканців цього району переселити. Цю ідею зустріли опором і вирішено було збудувати замість цього декілька укріплених фортів. Один з них був збудований на Лисій горі для захисту підступів до залізничного мосту. З часом фортеця перетворюється на таку, яка використовується під склад. Ще з XVII століття у фортеці утримували в'язнів. З цією метою використовували так званий Косий капонір — це напівпідземна споруда з товстими стінами з цеглини і каміння. Він розташований під кутом до земляного валу фортеці — звідси назва. Косий капонір спочатку використовувався для зберігання зброї і артилерійських запасів, а вже пізніше як політична в'язниця. #Київ #Україна #КиївськаФортеця #брама
