The village of Brovakhy is located 15 km north of Korsun-Shevchenkivskyi, at some distance from transport highways.
Known since 1710, when the wooden church of the Nativity of the Virgin was founded. In the 19th century, the village belonged to the Korniliv Volost of the Bohuslav (Kaniv) County of the Kyiv Province.
A "Monument to a Woman" has been installed in Brovakhy - a monument in honor of local resident Yevdokiya Lysenko, all 10 of whose sons fought during the Second World War and returned from the front alive.
Село Бровахи знаходиться в 15 км на північ від Корсуня-Шевченківського, на деякій відстані від транспортних магістралей.
Відоме з 1710 року, коли було засновано дерев'яну церкву Різдва Богородиці. В ХІХ столітті село належало до Корнілівської волості Богуславського (Канівського) повіту Київської губернії.
В Бровахах встановлено "Пам'ятник жінці" - монумент на честь місцевої жительки Євдокії Лисенко, всі 10 синів якої воювали під час Другої світової війни і повернулися з фронту живими.
Mother's Monument
Monument
The "Monument to the Mother" in Brovakhy was erected in 1984 in honor of a simple woman, Yevdokiya Lysenko, who raised 11 sons and 5 daughters. 10 sons fought on the fronts of the Second World War and all returned home alive.
On the initiative of Literary Gazeta and with the participation of the mother of the first cosmonaut Yuriy Haharin, a monument was opened, ten poplars and five willows were planted (according to the number of Yevdokiya's children), and a museum room of the Lysenko family was opened in the village school. Among other things, the museum preserved 10 pairs of boots and 10 overcoats, in which sons returned from the war, and materials dedicated to Kateryna Stepanova from Belarus, who lost all 9 of her sons during the war.
