history

Hluchiw around 1900

The place is mentioned for the first time in 1152 in the Chronicle of Hypatius , when it was the center of a small principality. He later belonged to the Kingdom of Poland and Poland (most recently in the Czernihów Voivodeship ). In 1667 he became part of Tsarist Russia through the Treaty of Andrussovo . It was revived on the initiative of the Russian Tsar Peter the Great , who made Hluchiw the capital of the Cossack hetmanate in 1708 , which had previously been in Baturyn . Under the last Cossack Hetmanes, the place was redesigned in the baroque style. After the hetmanate was dissolved by Catherine the Great in 1765 , Hluchiw lost its importance, to which a number of fires contributed.

In 1897, 14,828 people lived in the city, of which 58.1% were Ukrainians , 25.9% Jews and 15.0% Russians . Poles (0.5%), Germans (0.2%) and Belarusians (0.2%) made up smaller minorities . In the second half of the 20th century in particular, the population rose sharply, so that in 1979 there were already 32,386 inhabitants in the city. By 1989 the population grew to 35,869. In contrast to many other Ukrainian cities, Hluchiw recorded only minor population losses in the 1990s, so that in 2001 35,768 inhabitants lived in the city. Since then, the population has increased again, so that more people are currently living in the city than before the transformation crisis.
