Olevsk is an ancient city founded in the times of Kiev Russia. In its environments is located the Polesian preserve and the unique natural formation Rock Village, which is called Ukrainian Stonehenge. This heap of huge boulders of circular shape is untypical for the local forest and was transferred to Olevsk by glacier.Naming citation (20100130/MPCPages.arc), IAU / Minor Planet Center, via NASA/JPL
