Dymer

Dymer lies north of Kyiv in the wooded country west of the Dnieper. It is recorded in documents from 1582, though settlement here reaches back to the era of Rus'. Following the Cossack wars, Dymer returned to Polish rule and became a residence of the registered Cossack hetman Ostap Hohol. Its position placed it close to the contested boundary between the Commonwealth and the lands controlled from Kyiv.
