## About

Kotsiubynske is a settlement in Kyiv Oblast surrounded by the territory of the city of Kyiv. Forests around it and its association with the writer Mykhailo Kotsiubynsky are central to its identity.

## Notes

Not Mykhailo-Kotsiubynske in Chernihiv Oblast. The modern Kyiv neighbourhood Bilychi must be distinguished from this renamed settlement. The municipal strategy describes the 1941 establishment from part of Bilychi territory; former-name references should not imply that all historical Bilychi became Kotsiubynske.
