The Chigirin's nice history is closely connected with a name of the Ukrainian hetman Bogdan Khmelnytsky under which leadership from 1648 to 1654 national-liberation fight for independence of Ukraine was conducted. Exactly the first signs of the Ukrainian statehood here arose. At the end of the XVII century the hetman capital was transferred in Baturin, and Chigirin fell into decay, in which it is and until now.
