Tarasy (Ukrainian: Тараси) is an abandoned settlement and former village in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone, in Vyshhorod Raion, Kyiv Oblast, Ukraine.
History
The village was founded in the 18th century. After the nuclear disaster of 26 April 1986, it was abandoned. However, in 1999, it was taken out of a registry as it was completely depopulated being located in the Zone of Alienation. Currently nobody lives there.[1][2]
Tarasy previously belonged to Poliske Raion until was abolished on 18 July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Kyiv Oblast to seven. The area of Poliske Raion was merged into Vyshhorod Raion.[3][4]
