More on Mogilev
Mogilev, which is also spelled Mahilyow, was founded in 1267. As with most of the cities in Belarus, it came under the rule of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania in the 14th century, and later on, the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.In 1772, the First Partition of Poland brought Mogilev under the rule of the Russian Empire. It was occupied by German forces during the First World War. After the Russian Revolution, it was captured by Bolshevic troops and added into Byelorussian SSR. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, it became part of the independent Belarus.
Today Mogilev is one of the major economic and industrial centers of Belarus. It is a manufacturing base for heavy equipment, from cranes to tractors, and it also has a chemical manufacturing facility.
Mogilev suffered devastation from the Great Northern War (1700-21) and Great Patriotic War (as the Second World War was known in this region). However, it has since rebuilt its historic buildings, many of which are now well preserved. Among them include the Cathedral of the Monastery of St Nicholas, which is a candidate for inscription as a World Heritage Site.
