History
One of the original Siverian towns, Putyvl was first mentioned as early as 1146 as an important fortress contested between Chernigov and Novgorod-Seversky principalities of Kievan Rus. The song of Yaroslavna on the walls of Putyvl is the emotional culmination of the medieval Lay of Igor's Campaign and Alexander Borodin's opera Prince Igor.
After the Battle of Vedrosha in 1500, Putyvl was ceded to Muscovite Russia. During the Time of Troubles, the town became the centre of Ivan Bolotnikov's uprising and briefly a base for the False Dmitry I forces.
Putyvl was part of Kursk guberniya of the Russian Empire prior to the Bolshevik Revolution. During the Second World War Soviet partisans led by Sydir Kovpak started their guerrilla war against the Germans in the forests all over the Northern Ukraine.

Beautiful Rain
by: BodeansEverything around this place
Is comin' to a halt
Nobody's pickin' nothin'
It isn't anybody's fault
There's nothin' to do but sit around
Hurry up and wait
Holy Mary shed a tear for us
The hour is gettin' late
I wanna see it rain
I wanna see it rain
I wanna see it rain, rain, rain
A beautiful rain
Life is drainin' from the fields
Hope is runnin' dry
A million dollars cannot buy one drop
The clouds I see are only a lie
The pickers can't afford the fare back home
And they can't afford to stay yeah
The president sent a man up here
But there wasn't nothin' that he could say
I wanna see it rain
I wanna see it rain
I wanna see it rain, rain, rain
The beautiful rain
I wanna ses it rain, rain, rain
A beautiful rain
Forty days and forty nights
Then there's forty more
It's takin' a toll on everyone
The mood is set for some kinda war
Is it something that we do
Tell me is it something that we said
I'm wonderin' what the hell is wrong
I'm gettin' a little bit afraid
I wanna see it rain
I wanna see it rain
I wanna ses it rain, rain, rain
A beautiful rain
I wanna see it rain
I wanna see it rain
I wanna ses it rain, rain, rain
A beautiful rain
I wanna see it rain, rain, rain
A beautiful rain
I wanna see it rain, rain, rain
A beautiful rain
I wanna see a beautiful rain
I wanna see a beautiful rain
