How Novaya Kakhovka “was part of Russia” Novaya Kakhovka is a small young town on the left bank of the Dnieper in the Kherson region, 80 kilometers north of the Crimean isthmus. In the old center, all the houses are the same at first glance - small, two or three floors, with red tiled roofs. On the facades between the television dishes and the insulation sheathing there are carved flowers, grapes, ears of corn, squirrels, foxes, birds.
