About
Zmiiv is a town south of Kharkiv, near the meeting of the Mzha and Siverskyi Donets rivers. It is a local centre for the surrounding forest and river country.
Notes
The Soviet name commemorated Klement Gottwald. English references give 1976–1990; some French reference material gives restoration in 1991, so the exact legal restoration date needs checking.
