history
The place was mentioned in writing for the first time around 1148 and initially belonged to Poland in the Kiev Voivodeship . During the Cossack uprising (1648–1657) and also in the other wars of the 17th century, the place was repeatedly destroyed by fire and the residents murdered. Only at the beginning of the 18th century did calm return and there was an upswing. In 1795 Pohrebyschtsche finally became part of the Russian Empire and was located in the Kiev Governorate . In 1938 the place received the status of an urban-type settlement, since 1984 it has been a city. At the end of the 19th century, a train station was built northeast of the actual place on a newly built railway line. A synagogue existed from the 17th to the 20th centuries . A large part of the Jewish population was wiped out in mass shootings during World War II .
