history
In 1244 the place received city rights according to the Magdeburg city rights and was initially in the aristocratic republic of Poland-Lithuania , in 1772 it came to Austrian Galicia and later became an important center for the Jews of Galicia. It was from 1854 to 1918 the seat of the district administration Mościska and then from 1867 to 1918 the seat of a district court. After the end of the First World War , the place came to Poland and was here from 1921 in the Lviv Voivodeship and became the center of the Powiat Mościska of the same name . At that time, 2,300 Jews lived in the city, about half of the predominantly Polish population, the other half. During the Second World War , the place was occupied by the Soviet Union , which made it the capital of Ujesd Mostiska , and from January 1940 then the district capital of the district of the same name within the Drohobych Oblast . After the attack on the Soviet Union in June 1941, Mostyska was occupied by Germany until 1944 . The Germans set up a forced ghetto for the Jewish population, and the city's 3,000 Jews were finally deported to the Belzec extermination camp in October 1942 .
After the end of the war, the city was added to the Soviet Union and the remaining Polish population was deported to Poland . The previously independent villages Rudniki (Ukrainian Rudnyky / Рудники) Rzadkowice (Ukrainian Ridkowytschi / Рідковичі) Sułkowszczyzna (Ukrainian Sulkiwschtschyna / Сулківщина) and Zakościele (Ukrainian Sakostillja / Закостілля) were incorporated in 1945 and do not form stand-alone districts more.
There is a gauge change facility in the village to convert the trains ( Lviv – Przemyśl line ) of the Polish Railway to the Ukrainian-Russian broad gauge system.
