Odessa

Odessa is Ukraine It is the capital of Odessa Oblast . It is Ukraine's third city and the largest city in southern Ukraine, and can be considered similar to Busan in Korea , Osaka in Japan , and Guangzhou in China . In Ukrainian it is 'Оде́са [ɔˈd̪ɛsɐ]', in Russian it is 'Оде́сса [ɐˈdʲes(ː)ə]'[5] ', and is generally known as 'Odessa', an alphabetical notation following the Russian name. The Korean spelling is Odessa no matter which language is used.

Odessa barb , one of the tropical fish of the carp family, has become so popular in this city that its common name is "Odessa" barb , despite its origin being Myanmar , which has nothing to do with Odessa .

It was originally a fortress called the Hasıbey of the Ottoman Empire , and at the end of the 18th century , the Russian Empire stimulated the Crimean country and the Black Sea north of the Black Sea from the Ottoman Empire . It was built in 1795. As a window open to the Black Sea, the exports of agricultural products produced in Ukraine, as well as the center of various commerce and industries, and the Russian Empire Navy It was built for the purpose of being a port of the Black Sea Fleet .

The city's name is Odessos, an ancient Greek colonial city located on the Black Sea.[6] (Ὀδησσός, present-day Varna , Bulgaria )[7] It was named in commemoration of. In order to actively assert that Russia was the Third Rome by advocating the Greek plan , Catherine II named several new cities in areas bordering the Black Sea either after Greek colonial cities that were also part of the Eastern Roman Empire or with names derived from Greek. For example, Kherson comes from 'Hersonissus' (Χερσόνησος, Херсонисос), meaning 'peninsula'.[8] A representative example is Sevastopol, which was taken from ‘Sevastopol (Σεβαστοπολις, Севаступолис)’, meaning ‘virtuous city’ .

As the most important city on the Black Sea and Russia's largest port, it became the stage for many important events in modern Russian history. Representatively, the sailors of the battleship Potemkin revolted in Kherson , sparking the full-scale Russian Revolution of 1905 . Due to its symbolism, it has been attacked several times by countries seeking to weaken Russia.

One of the things that symbolizes Odessa's historical importance, especially as a port, is that it is a distribution center and export port for wheat grown in the black soil region of Ukraine, the largest granary in Eastern Europe . In particular, as the Industrial Revolution progressed in England in the 19th century, Britain's low food self-sufficiency rate fell further and wheat, a major food, was imported, and Odessa, along with St. Petersburg , became a major window for transporting wheat from Russia to England. Thanks to this, the suspension of wheat exports became Russia's most important weapon to pressure Britain. Even looking at Fyodor Dostoevsky 's full-length novel The Brothers Karamazov , when it became known that a statement ridiculing Russia had been made in the British Parliament, there was an opinion to put pressure on Russia by stopping wheat exports.[9] . In the late 19th century, the meaning of the word faded significantly as wheat was imported from the United States across the Atlantic . For reference, along with Georgia , it was an important wine-producing area in the former communist bloc, and high-quality sparkling wine is still produced today.

During World War II, it became a priority target for the German Wehrmacht and the Romanian army , one of its allies , due to its symbolism as the gateway to the Black Sea and a major city in Ukraine. The Soviet army 's determination to defend it was also determined, and a fierce battle took place for 70 days. The Soviet army was defeated and the city was completely destroyed, but it was a rarely successful battle for the Soviet army, which had been unilaterally defeated in the entire region at the time, and was often mentioned in honor of its sacrifice.[10][11] Of course, it was restored after World War II.

As a side note, from the time of the Russian Empire until Stalin's time, Odessa was a city known for having poor public safety in the Soviet Union. Even though there were twists and turns such as World War I, the Great Ukrainian Famine and Purge, and World War II, Red Mafia organizations were established. The crime problem was solved only when Georgy Zhukov was dispatched to Odessa and launched an operation to hunt down criminals.

Currently, it became Ukrainian territory with Ukrainian independence following the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 , and the population is 1,011,494 (as of 2018).

The main population in 2001 was 61.6% Ukrainians and 29% Russians . In addition, not all Ukrainian residents are anti-Russian, so it is a region with a strong pro-Russian tendency along with the East.

During the Donbas War, pro-Russian residents of Odessa declared independence against the Ukrainian government. This may be because, unlike Donetsk or Luhansk , it is difficult to receive support from Russia.[12] It was soon overpowered by the Ukrainian army. Since then, unlike the eastern part, it has been quietly under Ukraine's rule, but it is still a region with high approval ratings for pro-Russian parties and opposition to various anti-Russian policies, such as restrictions on the Russian language in Ukraine. Even in the event of Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022, this is the area where sabotage against Ukrainian TCC (Ukrainian military conscription officers) occurs the most. During Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the Russian military tried to launch a landing in Odessa, but when it failed, it attacked Odessa's cultural heritage with missiles, increasing anti-Russian sentiment. When the Crimean Bridge collapse and the second Crimean Bridge collapse occurred, Russia launched a large-scale airstrike with drones and missiles in retaliation, and because of this, the country is suffering great damage from the unprecedented airstrikes. Mutual retaliation continues as the Ukrainian military also responds by striking Crimea and Moscow. # # #

Thanks to its mild climate and Black Sea beaches, it was famous as a representative summer resort in Ukraine along with the Crimea Peninsula, and until the annexation of Crimea and the Ukrainian civil war, it was a city visited by millions of Russian tourists a year. As relations between Ukraine and Russia have worsened and the situation has become unstable, it has been reduced to a summer resort for Koreans only. This is because Russians' demand for recreation was instead focused on the Crimean peninsula, which was now part of their territory. It's a bit of a dangerous place to go if you don't speak Russian or Ukrainian, and scams targeting tourists from Northern Europe or Turkic countries are notorious.

It appears as the stage of Operation Odessa in Mobile Suit Gundam . In contrast to the actual Ukrainian Odessa, it is depicted as a hot wasteland made up of deserts and mountains in many Gundam works.
