Lubny ( Ukrainian Лубни ; Russian Лубны , Polish Łubyn ) is a city in the central Ukrainian Poltava Oblast on the right bank of the Sula River with around 48,000 inhabitants. It is the administrative seat of the Rajons of the same name , to which it does not belong as an independent city. The name of the place is derived from the Old Slavic word lubno (wooden).

history

The place was founded in 988 on the instructions of the Kiev Grand Duke Volodymyr Swjatoslawytch (ukr .: Володимир Святославич ). Lubny initially remained a fortified village for a long time. After the time of Mongol rule, it was able to develop into a city that already had Magdeburg law in the 15th and 16th centuries and had its own stamp and coat of arms. The Transfiguration Monastery of Mhar was founded near the city in 1619 . In 1638, 2,646 people lived in the city, and 40 mill wheels were also in operation. From the 18th century onwards, the city lost its importance, especially in relation to Poltava further east .

On October 16, 1941, the then local commandant of the Wehrmacht ordered the Jewish population to be resettled at a meeting point. There 1,800 people were taken over by Sonderkommando 4A of Einsatzgruppe C of the Security Police and SD and murdered.

In 1897 the city had 10,097 inhabitants, with Ukrainians (59.18%), Jews (29.72%) and Russians (9.51%) making up the largest ethnic groups. Lubny received a new development impetus in 1901 with the connection to the railway network, which resulted in numerous industrial companies. The city grew rapidly in the 20th century, despite the Russian civil war and World War II . By 1989 the population rose to 59,478 inhabitants, between 1989 and 2003 it lost more than 15% of its population.
