Just outside the village lies the Mezhyhirya Residence, the former private residence of ousted Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych and epicenter of a corruption scandal during his time as prime minister.[2][3][4][5] After Yanukovych fled Ukraine in the wake of the Revolution of Dignity, the complex was converted into a museum.[6] Yanukovych was last seen publicly in the village of Novi Petrivsi before he disappeared from Ukraine around 2:00am on 22 February, 2014, when local residents heard helicopters take off and saw two armored personnel carriers leave the area.[7]
A water reservoir of the Kyiv Hydro-Accumulating Power Station is located to the south of Novi Petrivtsi. Further south lies the city of Vyshhorod, which is adjacent to Kyiv.
A training facility of the Internal Troops of Ukraine is also located near the village. It is currently being used to train new recruits for the National Guard of Ukraine.[8]
On March 16, 2022[9] an apartment in Novi Petrivtsi was hit by a Russian airstrike, causing the structure to collapse. A two-year old boy was trapped under the debris and died soon after being rescued.[10]
