September 10 left very different pages in the history of Mykolaiv and the Korabelnyi District: a warship near the city Embankment, the appearance of a symbol of the “city of brides”, new orders for shipbuilders, City Day under Russian missiles, a long-standing problem on Okeanivska Street, the creativity of local poets and a new service at the district CNAP.
10 September 2009: the “Kostyantyn Olshansky” berthed in Mykolaiv
Before the celebration of Mykolaiv’s 220th anniversary, the large landing ship of the Ukrainian Navy “Kostyantyn Olshansky” berthed at the city Embankment.

10 September 2010: a bronze bride appeared in Mykolaiv
On the eve of City Day, a memorial sign “Mykolaiv – city of brides” was unveiled near the Palace of Celebratory Events.

10 September 2022: City Day began with a Russian missile strike
On the day when Mykolaiv celebrated its 233rd anniversary, at about 01:00 Russian forces shelled the city again.

Residents of houses No.62 and No.62-a on Okeanivska Street in the Korabelnyi District asked city authorities to repair the pedestrian path which, they say, had not been repaired for 32 years and had become dangerous.

This day in Ukraine and the world
10 September 1894 Oleksandr Petrovych Dovzhenko was born in the Chernihiv region — the film director, writer and one of the founders of Ukrainian cinema, as the Ukrainian Institute of National Remembrance reminds. The date 29 August 1894 sometimes found in biographies is given in the old style and corresponds to 10 September in the modern calendar. And on 10 September 2008 near Geneva at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider they sent the first beam of particles around the 27-kilometre ring of the world’s largest accelerator.
That was September 10: a naval vessel in central Mykolaiv, a bronze bride, work for shipbuilders, City Day under Russian missiles, Okeanivska’s problems and life in the Korabelnyi District, which continued even during the war.
