Sinyava village, Uraine (f. 1550) is a village in the Rokytnyan settlement community of the Bila Tserkva Raion district of Kyiv Oblast, Ukraine. Located on the Ros River, the village center is located 3 km southeast from the center of Rokytne village.

History
The name of the village of Sinyava is uncertain. Some believe that it originated from the word "blue" — over the blue often stood "blue" fogs. Others attribute the name to the city Sinelets, or from the word "strinyava," which translates from the Gothic as "quiet water." Some Polish sources also associate this name with the name of the noble coat of arms "Shrenyava" — it was to this coat of arms that the former owners of the village, the Belotserkovsky elders, the House of Lubomirski, belonged.

The first mention of Sinyava on the Ros River dates back to the mid=17th century. In the inventory description of 1641, the "town of Shrenyava" is indicated — the property of the Polish nobleman Stanislav Lubomirsky from Bila Tserkva. During the Khmelnytsky Uprising, Sineva was mentioned as a hundred-year-old town in 1664, 1674 and 1711–1713. Historians are more accurate in their accounts of the CossackHetmen who visited Sineva, including Bohdan Khmelnitsky,Pyotr Doroshenko, Philip Orlik. In 1661, the Tatars also visited the Dnieper.

During the survey of the right bank of the Rosi River, in the area of Sineva, archaeological excavations were discovered that testify to even more ancient settlements on this land — the Bronze Age, the Early Iron Age and, in particular, the Antes Age. According to popular legend, the leader of the Antes and his elders were executed on "God's Mountain under the blue."

Historical and architectural monuments
St. Nicholas Church, an architectural monument of national significance, was built in 1730, and is one of the oldest churches in Kyiv Oblast. Some accounts claim, however, that the church already existed in 1665–1665, but was destroyed by the Tatars and rebuilt in 1730. The five-domed church is built in the form of an equilateral cross, the Central, Northern and Southern "log cabins" have the form of octagons, and the Western and Eastern ones are hexagons. In the 1960s, the vestry oversaw the completion of the sacristy, the altar, and, in 1878, the bell tower was added.

Legend of God
According to Ukrainian historian and politician Mykhailo Hrushevskyi (1866–1934), the name Antiv first appears at the end of the 4th century in the work of Jordanes, a 6th-century Byzantine writer and historian of ancient Romans and Goths, known for his tale of King Vinitharius's war with Antes, an early Slavic tribe. In the 6th c., the name came into general use by such Byzantine writers as scholar and historian Procopius, Agathius, the so-called Mauritius, Meander, 6th c. historian John of Ephesus, and Theophylact.

According to Byzantine historians, writers, philosophers well-acquainted with various aspects of life and customs of the Slavic tribes, Antes was recognized as one of the Slavic-Venedians. Jordanes, who served as the secretary for the Iranic nomadic Alans military leader Guntighis Baza.had the most to say about them. His 551 A.D. work Getica "The Origin and Deeds of the Getae" describes the settlement of the Ante tribe, and the ethnic unity of the Slavs. Written monuments also name other representatives of the social top of the Ante - kings, lords, princes, elders. Jordan talked about their belonging to noble families, so power eventually became hereditary. Freedom-loving antis did not know slavery, it was limited in time and extended only to captured foreigners. Antis settled in forests, near rivers, swamps and lakes in small dwellings. Their settlements had common fortifications for several villages. Mauritius reports that the industrious Antis had a large number of various livestock, the most - millet, wheat, knew crafts. Men's and women's clothes were decorated with embroidery, girls wore necklaces, wreaths, household items and weapons were decorated with ornaments. At the same time, the antis borrowed cultural values ​​from other peoples, in particular the Byzantines, with whom they waged long wars. The frequent attacks of hostile nomadic tribes taught the Ants to hide their supplies in shelters. However, they were not only able to hide. Hardy warriors easily endured heat, cold, and rain, skilfully fought with enemies in forests and ravines, masterfully set up ambushes, and attacked unexpectedly. The tribes had the experience of overcoming water obstacles, they courageously endured a long stay in the water, lying on the bottom of the river, breathing through tubes made of reeds. Monument to Ants in the park on God's Mountain in the village of bluish In the 4th century, the Anti fought bravely against the Goths, the East Germanic tribes. From Jordan, we also learned about the Antian rex (king) Bozh, perhaps Bus, Boza, Bosa, or, as M. Hrushevsky also called him, Bozhka, Bozhidar - the first Slavic ruler known from historical sources. This glorious name has been preserved in the people's memory since ancient times and has been handed down to our days. Let us recall Bus from "The Word about Igor's Regiment" (1187): "for the Gothic red maidens sang on the shore, by the blue sea, ringing out Russian gold, singing the time of Busovi...". Among the historical and mythical founders of Slavic clans and states, the name of God is in the same row with such names as Ros, Cheh, Kiy, Shchek. Historians attribute to him the role of progenitor and creator of Ukrainian statehood, and the conventional year of the death of the leader of Ante — 375 — is taken as the beginning of its countdown. Until then, examples of the creation of a large intertribal political-military union, which rose above individual leadership, are unknown to science. Yu. Kasyanenko, one of the researchers of the past of the Rokytnian region, connects the mountain of God near the village of Sinyava with the tragic event that happened to the leader of the Antis. According to legend, it was here that disobedient Ants were executed. According to its author, the historical version has a very real basis. And indeed, the mountain of God is located eighty kilometers from the Dnipro. And finally, Yu. Kasyanenko points out, there are legends, traditions preserved by local residents, who claim that Bozhá Gora is the place of execution of antis.
