The Ivan Sirko Monument

The majority of researchers call Merefa village in Slobozhanskyi region to be the birthplace of Ivan Sirko. I. Sirko with his family lived in his house in Merefa for a long time. Another name of Merefa, recorded by some Ukrainian chronicles, that is Sirkivka, certifies that Merefa is associated with the name of the Cossack otaman.
