Sjanky ( Ukrainian Сянки ; Russian Сянки Sjanki , Polish Sianki ) is a village with 580 inhabitants (2001) in the southwest of the Ukrainian Lviv Oblast on the Polish- Ukrainian border.
history
Originally the village area was owned by the Polish statesman Piotr Kmita Sobieński . The name of the village, founded in 1586 according to Wallachian law , comes from the Ukrainian name Sanu (Sian). The village, which initially belonged to the Ruthenian Voivodeship of the aristocratic republic of Poland-Lithuania , developed slowly but steadily. After the First Partition of Poland , the village came to the Crown Land of Galicia and Lodomeria of the Habsburg Empire in 1772 and was there in the Turka district of the Danube Monarchy until the end of the First World War .
The construction of a railway line between Sianki and Sambór at the end of the 19th century, which was used by the Austro-Hungarian monarchy as a direct connection between Budapest and Lemberg , among other things for the rapid relocation of troops in the event of one , brought a great economic boom, accompanied by a strong population growth War with Russia .
After the First World War, after the collapse of Austria-Hungary in November 1918, the village came to the West Ukrainian People's Republic for a short time and after the end of the Polish-Ukrainian War in 1919 to Poland , where it was officially in the Stanislau Voivodeship from 1921 and in the Lviv Voivodeship was. Due to the Ribbentrop-Molotov Pact , the village was annexed by the Soviet Union at the end of September 1939 and incorporated into the Ujesd Turka of the Drogobytsch Oblast within the Ukrainian SSR . At the beginning of the German-Soviet war Sjanky in 1941 as part of Operation Barbarossa of the Southern Army Group of the Wehrmacht conquered by the German Reich occupied and in the district of Galicia of the General Government incorporated. The village remained there until it was retaken by the Red Army as part of the Lviv-Sandomierz operation in late summer 1944.
Sjanky lay on both banks of the San , a tributary of the Vistula . After the end of the Second World War , this formed the state border between the Republic of Poland and the USSR , whereupon the more than 300 residents of the district located on Polish territory was expelled in spring 1946 and the district was burned down in May 1947. After the collapse of the Soviet Union , Syanky became part of independent Ukraine in 1991.
