Kopyliv (Kopylovo)

Kopyliv (Копилів) is a village in the Makariv district (Макарівський район) and Kiev oblast (Київська область) in Ukraine, around 10 kilometres south-west of Kyiv. During Tchaikovsky's lifetime it was known as Kopylovo (Копылово), and formed part of the Kiev district (Киевский уезд) and the Kiev province (Киевская губерния) of the Russian Empire.

Tchaikovsky visited Kopylovo on two occasions:

• around 4/16 September 1889 — for a day's visit. "Terribly nice..." [1].
• 31 August/12 September–1/13 September 1890 — on a two-day outing from Kiev with Nikolai Konradi.
