About

Samar is a city on the Samara River in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast in Ukraine. Its wooden Trinity Cathedral is a notable expression of the region’s Cossack religious architecture.

Notes

Parliament renamed Novomoskovsk to Samar in September 2024. Nova Samar/Nova Samarʹ was a local proposal, not the adopted name. The city must be distinguished from Novomoskovsk in Russia. Formal table-derived aliases are labelled separately from attested prose spellings. Coverage of romanization systems and historical aliases is not exhaustive.
