5 August in the history of the Korabelnyi District and Mykolaiv left different events: the city’s capture by Denikin’s forces, a temperature record, a youth quest, a rescue of a person on the beach, and one of the heaviest Russian attacks on the district.
5 August 1919 old style: Denikin’s forces captured Mykolaiv
In local history publications the capture of Mykolaiv by the Volunteer Army under the command of Yakov Aleksandrovich Slashchov is dated 5 August 1919 according to the Julian calendar. By the modern Gregorian calendar this is 18 August 1919 — this is the date cited by the State Archive of Mykolaiv Oblast. Denikin’s authorities restored the old city council and launched reprisals; this period ended on 31 January 1920, when the Red Army entered the city.

On this day in Ukraine and the world
5 August 1941 the defense of Odesa began, which lasted until 16 October 1941. And on 5 August 1963 in Moscow representatives of the USSR, the USA and Great Britain signed the treaty banning nuclear tests in the atmosphere, outer space and under water.
For residents of the Korabelnyi District the most painful page of this date remains 5 August 2022, when Russian strikes took human life, wounded dozens of people and damaged residential neighborhoods.
