History
Pochaiv was a part of Kremenetsky Uyezd, Volhynian Governorate, Russian Empire. During World War I, it was captured by Austro-Hungarian troops in August 1915 and by the Imperial Russian Army during the Brusilov offensive in summer 1916. It became a part of Wołyń Voivodeship, Poland, after the 1917 Russian Revolution and the Polish–Soviet War.
Pochaiv became an urban-type settlement in the 1950s[3] and a town in 1978. It had a population of 10,019 in January 1989.[4][5]
Pochaiv is home to the Pochaiv Lavra, the second-largest Eastern Orthodox monastery in Ukraine. On October 1, 2020, the Center for Provision of Social Services of the Pochaiv City Council was established,[6] the head of which was appointed Gichka Yuriy Serhiyovych on the basis of competitive selection.[7]
