Bila Krynyzja (Ukrainian Біла Криниця ; Russian Белая Криница / Belaja Kriniza , Romanian Fântâna Albă , until 1918 under Austrian administration Fontana Alba or Biala Kiernica ) is a village in the Chernivtsi Oblast of western Ukraine . It is located in the Hlyboka district, just a few hundred meters north of the Ukrainian-Romanian border in the historical Bucovina landscape . Together with the northeastern village of Staryj Wowtschynez it forms the district council of Staryj Wowtschynez.
The Belaja Krinitsa (Belokrinizkaja hierarchija) hierarchy of Old Believers had its headquarters here (officially it is still today), and it has been in Brăila since 1940 . The Lipowan Christian Church of the Old Rite (see also Lipowaner ) and the Russian Orthodox Old Ritual Church belong to this.
history
The town was founded in 1785 as one of several Lipowanerkolonien after the area with the name Warniza in 1784 for the settlement of Lipovans was chosen. Until 1918 it was part of the Austrian crown land Bukovina (in the judicial district of Sereth), then it came to Romania and was in the Storojineoj district . After the occupation of northern Bukovina by the Soviet Union in 1940 as a result of the Hitler-Stalin Pact , the Fântâna Albă massacre took place on April 1, 1941 , in which around 200 people were killed by Soviet troops. In the summer of 1941 Romania initially recaptured the area and the place, but in 1944 it again became part of the Ukrainian SSR within the Soviet Union. After its disintegration in 1991, the village became part of the independent Ukraine.
