About
Korsun-Shevchenkivskyi is a town in Cherkasy Oblast on the Ros River. Its palace and park stand close to sites associated with the major encirclement battle of 1944.
Notes
The name was expanded in 1944 to honour Taras Shevchenko. The ancient Crimean Chersonesus is also called Korsun in East Slavic historical sources and must not be conflated with this town.
