Kryvyy Rih (sh) and artificial wetland (medicine)


Kryvyy Rih (sh)




Russian Krivoy Rog

City (pop., 2001: 669,000), southeast-central Ukraine.

Founded as a village by Cossacks in the 17th century, it grew slowly until a railway was constructed to the Donets Basin in 1884; it soon became a significant iron-mining city. It was seized by Germany in 1941 and retaken by the Soviet Union in 1944. Terny, which was annexed to the city in 1969, has a major uranium mine. The city is now a centre of industry as well as mining, with metallurgical plants, foundries, mills, and chemical works.
