Pryluky. Here Georgiy Voronoi studied at Pryluky gymnasium from which he graduated in 1885. This gymnasuim was founded in 1874 (22.IX) by the sity council. From 1881 to 1887 Georgiy’s father, Feodosii Voronyi, was a director of this gymnasuim.

Pryluky is located on the Udai River. It is one of the oldest Ukraine's cities. Archeological excavations have shown that a settlement on the territory of the present-day city dates back to the second millennium BC. In chronicles, Pryluky was first mentioned in 1085 by Prince Vladimir Monomakh. That year the city-fortress sheltered the prince from the horde of Polovnsy tribes. In 1239, Pryluky was destroyed by the Mongols. In 1362, the city belonged to the territory of the Great Lithuanian Principality.

After the Union of Lublin of 1569, the city came under the rule of the Polish nobility. At that period of time many inhabitants of Pryluky and nearby villages began to run away, seeking freedom in the vast Dnieper steppes. Settlements founded by the runaways in the late 16th-early 17th centuries occupied large territories. Thus grew the Cossack community. Poland tried to suppress this spontaneous resistance but did so in vain. In 1648, Hetman Bohdan Khmelnitsky introduced a new system of territorial-administrative division in Ukraine, having divided the country into regiments. Under this system the city of Pryluky became the military center of the Pryluky Regiment. In 1781, the Cossack regime was abolished in Ukraine and Pryluky became an uyezd of the Malorossiya Governorate.

The oldest civil building in the town is the former chancellory and sacristy of the Pryluky Cossack Regiment. Apart from the Baroque church of St. Nicholas (1720), the town possesses two cathedrals built by Cossacks in the 1710s and 1720s and the new Neoclassical cathedral (1806) dedicated to the Nativity of the Theotokos.
