Kamianka is known as an artist's colony, in which Prince Grigory Potemkin, the Russian national poet Alexander Pushkin, the composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, and other freethinkers and war heroes during the Napoleonic Wars era worked.[citation needed] Kamianka was also one of the chief centres of the Southern Society of the Decembrists.

According to the 2001 Ukrainian census, the city's population was 15,109. Ukrainians accounted for 94.8% of the population and Russians for 4.3%.[5] Ukrainian was the native language for 95.8% of the population, and Russian for 4%.[6]
