Hussjatyn ( Ukrainian Гусятин ; Russian Гусятин Gussjatin , Polish Husiatyn ) is a village in western Ukraine on the left bank of the river Sbruch and about 68 km west of the regional capital Khmelnytskyi .
history
The place is mentioned in writing for the first time in 1559, received Magdeburg town charter in the same year and then until 1773 belonged to the Podolia Voivodeship , part of the aristocratic republic of Poland-Lithuania . With the partitions of Poland the place was divided and the left bank part initially remained as a border town with Poland, but in 1793 it was attached to the Russian Empire as Gusjatin. For this reason there are two administratively separate places with the same name on both sides of the river to this day.
On January 31, 1916, a railway line running north of the place between Kamjanez-Podilskyj and the former Russian border at Hussjatyn was opened by the Russian authorities.
After the end of the First World War, the village remained with Russia, was briefly occupied by the Soviet Union during World War II and then by Germany until 1944 .
After the end of the war, the place was again added to the Soviet Union, there the city came to the Ukrainian SSR and has been part of today's Ukraine since 1991.
