Boyarka, Ukraine with Ukrainian flag T-Shirt

Tokmak (Ukrainian: Токмак) is a city in the Zaporizhia Oblast (province) of south-central Ukraine. Serving as the administrative centre of the Tokmatskyi Raion (district), the city itself is directly subordinate to the oblast. Boyarka (Ukrainian: Боярка) is a town in Kiev Oblast (region) of Ukraine, about 20 km SW from Kiev. The population in 2001 was 35,968. The town is not to be confused with the village of the same name in the Lysianskyi Rayon. There are traces of an old Kievan Rus' settlement, including the remains of an ancient cemetery. The railway reached the town in the 1860s, after which it became a favourite resort for artists and writers, including the composer Mykola Lysenko and the writer Sholom Aleichem. The fictional village of Boyberik, where Aleichem's tales of Tevye the Milkman are located, is based on Boyarka.
