About
Dobrovelychkivka is a settlement in Kirovohrad Oblast, in the western Dnieper Upland. It is associated with a traditional claim to mark Ukraine's geographical centre, although other methods identify a different point.
Notes
Geographical-centre claim depends on calculation method and is qualified. Earlier Revutske/Revutskoye appears in local-history data; replacement year not independently verified. Standard-derived romanizations are retrieval aids, not claims of English or French prose frequency.
