Korosten is a historic city and a large railway node in the Zhytomyr Oblast (province) of northern Ukraine. Serving as the administrative center of the Korosten Raion (district), the city itself is also designated as a separate raion within the oblast[dubious – discuss], and is located on the Uzh River. The city was founded over a millennium ago and was the capital of an ancient Slavic state that was later incorporated into Kievan Rus′. Originally, it was called as Iskorosten which later was simplified. Remarkably, not far from Korosten there is another city with a similar name, Korostyshiv, which is next to Zhytomyr.
Currently the city is relatively small, mainly because of the fact that it is located very close to Chernobyl. After the nuclear incident, the area around the city was declared a zone of a voluntary evacuation.
