Chuhuiv (Ukrainian : Чугуїв ) or Chuguev (Russian : Чугуев ) is a city in Kharkiv Oblast , Ukraine . The city is the administrative center of Chuhuiv Raion (district). It hosts the administration of Chuhuiv urban hromada , one of the hromadas of Ukraine.[ 1] Population: 31,018 (2022 estimate). [ 2]
Chuhuiv's food industry focuses on producing mayonnaise along with other staple supporting condiments.[citation needed ]
The City's founding date is disputed with historical assertions ranging from 1540 to 1627. Some academics believe that the city was built upon the orders Russia's first Tsar Ivan the Terrible who reigned from 1547 to 1584.[citation needed ]
A military fort was built adjacent to the city in 1638 by Ukrainian Cossacks of Yakiv Ostryanyn (see Ostryanyn uprising ) on the order of Muscovite Tsar Mikhail Fedorovich. A military presence of some form near Chuhuiv has remained ever since. The Chuguev uprising of 1819 was a revolt of military settlers.
During the government of the Soviet Union, the base became an important military training center. It has been home to the Soviet Air Force Pilot Academy and the Red Army's Artillery School. There is now a Ukrainian Air Force base adjacent to the town.
