ΠΕΡΙΛΗΨΗ
Mykolaiv (Nikolayev) was an important port of southern Russia on the Rivers Boug and Ingul with accessibility to the Black Sea. The advantageous location of Mykolaiv attracted numerous merchants, businessmen and shipowners who undertook the exportation of the Russian wheat which was produced in the hinterland. Because of its proximity to Odessa, a part of its exports was conducted through that port. The course of Mykolaiv was similar to that of Odessa, as from the middle of the 19th century it went into decline, resulting in the decrease of the Greek population, which emigrated either to the ports of the Azov Sea or to those of the Danube. Today it belongs to Ukraine. |
