history

The place is first mentioned in the times of the Kievan Rus in 1155 . In 1592 Pyrjatyn received from the Polish King Sigismund III. Vasa the Magdeburg city law and a coat of arms . In 1638 the town, which had 38 mill wheels, had 1,749 inhabitants. It belonged to Poland-Lithuania until the Cossacks declared independence in 1648 , with Jews settling in the city as early as 1630 . In the course of the incorporation of the Cossacks into the Russian Empire , Pyriatyn also became Russian. In 1781 she received city rights and coat of arms again from the Russian tsarina Catherine the Great.

In 1897 8,500 people lived in the place. The largest ethnic groups at that time were Ukrainians (55.62%) and Jews (39.8%), while the Russians made up 3.57%. In the first half of the 20th century, the population increased despite the Russian civil war and the famine , so that in 1939 there were already 13,800 inhabitants in the city. During the Second World War , the city was occupied by the Germans, which had fatal consequences for the Jews in particular. Of those who did not flee from the Germans, almost no one survived this time. After the war, the city continued to grow and in 1989 had a population of 18,119. In the course of the transition crisis, however, the population has since declined by more than 10%.

The city's industrial focus is on wood processing , food and building materials production . Pyriatin is on the European route 40 between Kiev and Poltava. In addition, the place has a train station on the Cherkassy - Hrebinka - Pryluky railway line .
