Bakota, Khmelnytskyi Oblast🇺🇦
Bakota was a major ancient Ukrainian city that served as the capital of the Dniester Lowlands in the 12th-13th centuries. During the Kyivan Rus period, it functioned as a trading port on the Dniester River.
The city’s history came to an end in 1981 when, during the construction of the Novodnistrovsk Hydroelectric Power Plant by Soviet authorities, Bakota was completely submerged.
The price of the created reservoir was the destruction of around 30 villages, 16,000 hectares of fertile land, 100 hectares of forest, and, most importantly, the unique centuries-old cultural heritage of the region. All of this was swallowed by the great water. But even now, submerged in the waters of the Dniester, Bakota retains its allure and mystery.

"Olenochka was very responsive, frank, sociable and sincere! She never left anyone in trouble. Even when I had piles of papers and stacks of reports left on my desk, she silently took half to herself and helped. She approached everything very diligently. It became gloomy without her...", said a close friend Yuliya Matvienko.
