history
First mentioned in 977 as Vruchy ( Вручий ), Ovrutsch was a settlement of the Kievan Rus . After Korosten was sacked , it became the administrative seat of the Drewljan tribe . The Church of the Transfiguration stands on the site of the castle from this time. The city's oldest church, however, is St. Basil's Church from the 12th century, which was restored by Alexei Shtusev in 1907–1909 . Ovrutsch became part of the Principality of Galicia-Volhynia , from the 14th century onwards of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania . In 1483 the Crimean Tatars destroyed it . The Union of Lublin (1569) made Polesia a province of the Polish-Lithuanian aristocratic republic . In 1641 Władysław IV. Wasa Owrucz declared a royal city. During the Second Partition of Poland (1793) it was annexed by the Russian Empire . Since the collapse of the Russian-dominated Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic (1922–1991) it has belonged to the independent Ukraine . The communist rule left a long-lasting memory in the form of the radioactive contamination of the area from the nuclear disaster in neighboring Chernobyl (1986), even if Ovrutsch himself was only slightly affected.
On April 13, 2017, the city became the center of the newly founded municipality of Ovrutsch ( Овруцька міська громада Owruzka miska hromada ).
