==History==
===Early history===
Brovary
Originally, the town was called Brovari ({{Lang-uk|Броварі}}), but the name was changed in 1969 to make it [[Russification of Ukraine|more similar to Russian]].<ref>{{Cite web |date=2016-11-28 |title=Машина часу.

In the 21st century, Brovary is Ukraine's [[shoe]]-making capital, with dozens of such companies located there. There is also a broadcasting centre for long and shortwave transmissions. The longwave transmitter, which works on 207 kHz, uses as its antenna two {{cvt|259.6|m|ft}} tall guyed mast radiators each equipped with a cage antenna at their lower part. Brovary is also an important sport centre of Ukraine. Several world and [[Olympic Games|Olympic]] [[champion]]s were born and/or began their career here. Ukraine's national mint facility is located in Brovary.▼
In 1923, Brovary became the center of [[Brovary Raion]]. In that year, Brovary had a population of 4,065 people. In 1930, the district was reworked, with its center moved to [[Velyka Dymerka]]. In 1937, this change was undone, and the center was moved back to Brovary.<ref name=ssr>{{Cite encyclopedia |title=Бровари, Броварський район, Київська область |encyclopedia=[[Історія міст і сіл Української РСР]] |url=https://ukrssr.com.ua/kiyivska/brovarskiy/brovari-brovarskiy-rayon-kiyivska-oblast |language=uk}}</ref>
Brovary is a district centre in Kyiv region. It is situated 20 kilometers from the capital of Ukraine, Kyiv. Brovary district lies in the areas of mixed forests. The climate here is moderately continental with the middle temperature -6 C in January and +19 C in July.▼
Brovary received city status in 1956, and in 1972 was designated a [[city of regional significance (Ukraine)|city of oblast significance]] - meaning that while Brovary still served as the administrative center of Brovary Raion, it was no longer subordinated to it, instead being directly subordinated to the government of [[Kyiv Oblast]].<ref name=esu>{{Cite encyclopedia |title=Бровари |encyclopedia=[[Encyclopedia of Modern Ukraine]] |publisher=Інститут енциклопедичних досліджень НАН України |url=https://esu.com.ua/article-37829 |last=Колесник |first=В.

▲Brovary was first mentioned in 1630. In that time there were only 60 or 70 houses in Brovary, but in 1649 a Cossack [[sotnia]] is known to have been formed there. Cossacks took part in the [[Khmelnytsky Uprising]] under [[Bohdan Khmelnytsky]]`s leadership.
