About Cimitir Старий Салтів

Staryi Saltiv (Ukrainian: Старий Салтів, Russian: Старый Салтов) is a rural settlement in Chuhuiv Raion of Kharkiv Oblast in Ukraine. It is located on the right bank of the Donets, which is dammed here as Pechenyhi Reservoir. Staryi Saltiv hosts the administration of Staryi Saltiv settlement hromada, one of the hromadas of Ukraine. Population: 3,329 (2022 estimate). The name of the village is eponymously derived from the folklore word of Turkic origin "saltan", aka "sultan" in English. Most likely there was a proto-city here founded in the Middle Ages under the Khazar Kaghanate.
