Well, there's a settlement with a similar name in Russia, but it's so small that Firaxis clearly meant Ukrainian city. Considering it got the status of hero city for repelling Putin's army in 2022, having it as part of Russia city roster looks like really bad idea.Russian cities: St. Petersburg, Kazan, Nikolaieff
(yes the last one is the Ukrainian city. Can of worms and all that.)
I had the same thought.Well, there's a settlement with a similar name in Russia, but it's so small that Firaxis clearly meant Ukrainian city. Considering it got the status of hero city for repelling Putin's army in 2022, having it as part of Russia city roster looks like really bad idea.
Catherine disbanded only one of many cossack armies and restored it later. Although she was constantly limiting their freedom, they remained important part of Russian army till 1917 revolution (and took part in civil war for some time afterwards).I had the same thought.
I wonder what are the other cities.
Also, a historical fact, Catherine was the one who disbanded (Ordered to destroy Zaporizian Sich) the original cossacks, so it is a strange decision they still added them.
Thy could have easily added something different like bronevick(APC Lenin drove during revolution) or Matrosy.
well, Mykolaiv WAS founded by the Russian Empire (Catherine founded loads of Ukrainian cities in her reign. Dniepropetrovsk for instance is also one of them).Well, there's a settlement with a similar name in Russia, but it's so small that Firaxis clearly meant Ukrainian city.

That's true, and I agree that it's better to focus on current borders. Russian Empire controlled a lot of territories, even more than USSR (i.e. including Finland or Alaska), I wouldn't want those territories to contribute cities to the Russian list.well, Mykolaiv WAS founded by the Russian Empire (Catherine founded loads of Ukrainian cities in her reign.

However Imperial Russia has a massive list of cities INSIDE the current borders or Russia that it could draw from instead.
