Bahacheve (Ukrainian: Багачеве, IPA: [bɐɦɐˈtʃɛwe]), formerly known as Vatutine (Ukrainian: Ватутіне) is a city in Zvenyhorodka Raion, Cherkasy Oblast, Ukraine. It hosts the administration of Vatutine urban hromada, one of the hromadas of Ukraine.[2] It had a population of 15,763 (2022 estimate).[1]

Administrative status

[edit | edit source]

Vatutine gained status as a city in 1952.[3] Until 18 July 2020, Vatutine was designated as a city of oblast significance and belonged to Vatutine Municipality but not to any raion. As part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Cherkasy Oblast to four, the city was merged into Zvenyhorodka Raion.[4][5]

History

[edit | edit source]

The city was founded in 1946.[citation needed]

On 3 April 2024, the Committee on the Organization of State Power, Local Self-government, Regional Development, and Urban Planning ([[:uk:Комітет Верховної Ради України з питань організації державної влади, місцевого самоврядування, регіонального розвитку та містобудування|uk]]) in the Verkhovna Rada stated their support for renaming the city to Bahacheve as part of the derussification campaign,[6] considering that the name Vatutine is derived from Nikolai Vatutin. On 19 September 2024, the Verkhovna Rada voted to rename Vatutine to Bahacheve.[7]

Demographics

[edit | edit source]

In January 1989, the population of the city was 20, 362 people.[8][3] In December 2022, the population of the city was 20,400 people.[9]
