Radyvyliv
Radyvyliv (Ukrainian: Радивилів [rɐdeˈwɪlʲiu̯] ⓘ) is a small city in Rivne Oblast (region), Ukraine. It was the administrative center of the former Radyvyliv Raion (district) until its dissolution in 2020, and is located south-west of the oblast capital, Rivne, near European route E40. The nearest larger cities are Dubno and Brody; the latter being 10 km (6 mi) away.
During Soviet times, from 1939 to 1992, the city was known as Chervonoarmiisk. It had an estimated population of 10,427 (2022 estimate).
In the 14th century, together with whole Volhynia, Radyvyliv was annexed by the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. Following the 1569 Union of Lublin, the town was transferred to the Kingdom of Poland, where it remained for over 200 years. As a result of the Third Partition of Poland in 1795, Radziwiłłow, as it was called, became a town of the Kremenetsky Uyezd in the Volhynian Governorate of the Russian Empire.
In the late 1800s, the Jewish population reached 4,000. Between World War I and the civil war between Ukrainian nationalists and Bolsheviks, the Jewish population declined to around 2,000.
During the January Uprising, a unit of Józef Wysocki operated in the area of Radyvyliv. After World War I, the town returned to Poland, and was part of Dubno County, Volhynian Voivodeship. Its residents were Jewish (50%), Ukrainian (31%), and Polish (17%).
In September 1939, at the onset of the Second World War, the town was occupied by Soviet forces. Some Jewish refugees who refused to accept Soviet citizenship were deported to the Soviet interior. The local Polish police chief and a local Polish lawyer were murdered by the Russians in the Katyn massacre in 1940.
The Wehrmacht's 6th Army occupied the town from June 1941 to March 1944. During the first days of the occupation, Jews were robbed by German and Ukrainian forces. On 15 July 1941, 27 Jews accused of communist activities were executed. The following day, Ukrainians organized a public burning of Jewish prayer books and other religious items.
On 15 August, all Jews were gathered in the marketplace while their homes were looted. A ghetto was established in April 1942 for the Jewish population of the town and surrounding villages, totaling 2,600 people. The ghetto's population was divided into "productive" and "unproductive" groups, with 400 and 2,200 Jews, respectively. Those classified as "productive" were forced into labor. Overcrowding and poor conditions led to widespread disease and hunger.
