The village of Yeline is located among forests and swamps in the north of Chernihiv region, near the Russian border.
It was first mentioned in documents from 1709.
During the Second World War, the Chernihiv regional partisan unit fought in the Yelin forests. Residents of Yeline supplied the partisans with food, clothing and weapons, for which in 1942 the Germans completely burned down the village - 516 yards and all public buildings, hanged and shot 296 residents.
In 2010, the museum-memorial complex of partisan glory "Lisohrad" was opened.
Село Єліне розташоване серед лісів і боліт на півночі Чернігівської області, поблизу російського кордону.
Вперше згадується в документах з 1709 року.
В роки Другої світової війни в Єлінських лісах вів бої Чернігівський обласний партизанський загін. Жителі Єліного постачали партизанів продовольством, одягом і зброєю, за що в 1942 році німці повністю спалили село - 516 дворів і всі громадські будівлі, повісили та розстріляли 296 жителів.
В 2010 році відкрито музейно-меморіальний комплекс партизанської слави "Лісоград".
Museum-memorial complex of partisan glory "Lisohrad"
Museum / gallery , Historic area
The museum complex "Lisohrad" in the forests in the north of Chernihiv region is dedicated to the local partisan movement during the Second World War.
In 1942-1943, the Chernihiv partisan units of Mykola Popudrenko and Oleksiy Fedorov operated in the Yelino forests. Near the village of Yelino, there was a whole partisan town made of dugouts, which was called "Lisohrad". From here, the partisans went on combat operations to destroy enemy garrisons and carry out sabotage on railways.
In 2010, enthusiasts recreated the partisan camp, restoring 3 dugouts and building 2 more. The partisan oven was also recreated, and the partisan well and trenches were cleared.
The exhibits in the dugouts allow you to feel the spirit of partisanship, to see in what difficult living conditions people had to live and defend their land.
