Pollen and paleopedological studies have been carried out in parallel for the Stari Bezradychy sequence of the Upper Pleistocene age. The paleoenvironmental information derived from both sets of data is in general well correlated. The section presents a rather complete sequence of the last interglacial-glacial cycle. It includes eight units of the Ukrainian Stratigraphical Framework of the Pleistocene. Interglacial climatic optimum is registered by pollen succession of the Mikulino (Eemian) type in the climax forest paleosols of Pryluky-Kaydaky pedocomplex at the base of the sequence, above the Dnieper Glacial deposits. The coldest and most continental environment is recorded in the youngest loess. The soils of Upper Pryluky, Vytachiv and Dofinivka units are correlated with the Early Glacial and four Pleniglacial interstadials. Multiple environmental variations during the Upper Pleistocene recorded in the Stari Bezradychy sequence are important for study of global climatic changes and interregional correlation. Tentative correlation with marine isotopic stages is proposed.
