So, the journey continues, today’s post is about Shepetivka, a small town in the Khmelnitsky region. Shepetovsky district borders the Zhytomyr region; about 43,000 people live in the city itself. in 1873, a railway station was built and a locomotive depot was opened, rapid development began, and a few years later the post office and telegraph began to function. Since 1923 Shepetivka has been a city.


1. For me, the city usually begins with the railway station, meet the Shepetivka railway station.

There are only two passenger platforms and three tracks, without division into suburban and long-distance services. All trains, without exception, passing through Shepetivka have a stop here. In total, the Shepetivka railway junction includes 5 directions (Na Korosten, Kazyatyn, Starokonstantinov, Ternopil, Zdolbunov). Suburban trains run to all destinations.

8. Nearby is a cinema named after. Ostrovsky, it’s clear they are proud of their fellow countryman here.

9. Urban transport is represented by European consumer goods

12. Here is such a legal consultation, I wonder how it is still preserved? 100% of the population speak Ukrainian and dream of Europe.

P.S. The title of the post is taken from “The Golden Calf” by Ilf and Petrov, where Ostap Bender says: “And in general, the last city on earth is Shepetovka, on which the waves of the ocean crash.”

1. History

1.1. Ancient day

Archaeological research of the mid-20th century revealed that the territory of the city was inhabited by people since ancient times (flint knives and other tools of the Neolithic era were found here). Near Shepetovka in the Gusentsi tract, during archaeological excavations, a burial mound with a treasure of Celtic axes from the Bronze Age was discovered. In the vicinity of the city there are mounds from Scythian-Sarmatian times.


1.2. 1594-1772: Grand Duchy of Lithuania and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth

The first mention of the settlement dates back to the year: the village of Chernigovka was part of the Kremenets district of the Volyn voivodeship as the possession of Andrei Zdyarskaya.

The population of Shepetovka experienced devastating attacks by the Crimean Tatar hordes and Polish-gentry troops, while at the same time the process of serfdom of the peasantry was intensively affected. In response to feudal oppression, peasants and artisans took part in uprisings in 1591-1593 led by Hetman Krzysztof Kosinski and in 1594-1596 under Severin Nalivaiko. During the war of liberation in July 1648, when the peasant-Cossack regiments of Maxim Krivonos approached Polonnoye, residents of Shepetivka and surrounding villages joined the ranks of the Ukrainian army. At the same time, Shepetovka was occupied by the Ukrainian Cossack army and left a garrison in it, which, when the Volyn Regiment was formed in the fall of 1648, became the basis of its Shepetivka hundred.

As a result of the division of estates between the Sangushka princes: Pavel - Marshal of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, Jerome - the Lithuanian voivode, Janusz - the guard of the Great Crown - Shepetovka, together with nearby villages, went to Prince Jerome and for a long time remained the property of his direct descendants. In 1859, the city passed to Count Alfred Potocki, who married Roman Sangushko's daughter Maria. The Pototskys owned Shepetovka for a year.


1.3. 1793-1914: Shepetovka as part of the Russian Empire

Shepetovka had a weekly market and 4 summer fairs. In the same year, a post office and a telegraph station began operating in the town.

Founded in 1865, the one-class public school was reorganized into a two-class public school in 1900. A parochial school has been operating since 1872. A zemstvo hospital with 25 beds, 2 medical centers, a private pharmacy, and a hydropathic clinic began to function. Religious institutions include an Orthodox church, a Catholic church, and a synagogue.

The rapid development of industry led to rapid population growth: in 1891 there were 5,926 residents in the town - this is 2.5 times more than in 1870.

During the years of the new industrial boom, industrial production also grew in Shepetivka. In 1912, a printing house was opened, and construction of the Shepetivka-Grechany railway was completed. Sugar factories, which employed over 1,200 workers, produced 29,459 quintals of sugar during the 1912-1913 season. It was a fairly mechanized production, where steam boilers with a capacity of 25 horsepower and foreign-made steam engines with a capacity of 15 horsepower were used. The city had a sawmill, a steam mill, and a tile manufacturing workshop. The number of railway workers, brick factory workers, and artisans increased significantly. In 1910, there were more than 6 thousand workers in the town

Pre-revolutionary Shepetivka is a typical provincial town of the Russian Empire. There were 1,578 houses in the year, of which only a few dozen were made of stone. Development, especially on the outskirts, was carried out in a disorderly manner. Only one street - from the sugar shop to the railway station - was paved with paving stones. The town had a lot of electric lighting, running water, transport consisted of 14 cabs, numerous private shops, and 3 taverns.

During the First World War, Shepetivka found itself in the front line. Refugees from Poland arrived here. There was not enough housing, prices for food and consumer goods were rising. Trains with wounded soldiers were constantly passing through the railway station.

In the 2nd half of April 1919, fierce battles broke out in the Shepetovka area. Units of the 1st and 2nd Ukrainian Soviet divisions captured the town on May 7.

In August 1919, power in Shepetivka passed to the army of Simon Petliura, and at the end of the year the city was occupied by Polish legions. In July 1920, part of the 45th Infantry Division entered Shepetivka under the command of I. Yakorya, who were soon forced to cede power to the UPR army.

In 1919, Shepetivka had its own money - since the government often changed, the Jewish community of the city decided to issue local banknotes - rubles.

In the 2nd half of November 1920, the Bolsheviks again captured Shepetovka, and a committee of the poor was created.


1.4. 1922-1991: USSR

In 1922, the town became the center of the region, which included 3 volosts (Shepetovskaya, Khrolinska, Sudilkovskaya) of the then Izyaslav district of the Volyn province.

Despite the growth of the city's industry and the presence of a railway junction with 5 directions (to Kyiv, Korosten, Ternopil, Zdolbunov, Proskurov), in 1923 it was decided to move the district center of Izyaslav to Shepetivka. After the liquidation of counties and volosts in March 1923, three districts were formed in the Volyn province: Shepetovskaya, Novograd-Volynskaya, Zhitomirskaya.

On May 29, 1923, by decision of the regional executive committee, the town of Shepetivka was recognized as a city (number of inhabitants - 12,072 people)

At the end of the restoration period, the city not only restored the pre-war level of economy, but also made a significant step forward in the development of industry, trade, and culture.

However, neither the Holodomor of 1932-1933 nor the repressions of 1937-1938 spared Shepetivka. Documents show that in the Gritsivsky district (now part of the Shepetovsky district) starvation killed 6 thousand people, in Shepetivsky - more than 5 thousand people. Nowadays, a memorial cross has been erected at the burial site of the victims of the Holodomor.

Building of Shepetivka District State Administration

About two thousand people were forcibly taken from the city and region to hard labor as prisoners.

And Shepetovka did not obey the enemy. Local underground fighters and partisans fought the Nazis throughout the occupation.

From mid-March 1943, the UPA began a partisan struggle, especially after part of the Ukrainian auxiliary police went over to its side. In June 1943, UPA soldiers captured protected military food warehouses in Shepetivka

On February 11, 1944, troops of the 60th Army of the 1st Ukrainian Front under the command of Lieutenant General Ivan Chernyakhovsky, after heavy fighting, liberated the city from Wehrmacht troops.

The restoration of his hometown, destroyed by the war, began. First of all, the historical pride of Shepetytiv residents: a sugar factory and a railway, operating from ancient times to the present day.
