Volhynia

Volhynia, Volynia, or Volyn ((ウクライナ語:Волинь), (ロシア語:Волы́нь), ''Volyn'''; (ポーランド語:Wołyń), (リトアニア語:Voluinė) or ''Volynė''; (チェコ語:Volyň), (ハンガリー語:Volhinia), (ドイツ語:Wolhynien) or ''Wolynien'', (イディッシュ語:Volin װאָלין)) is a historic region in Central and Eastern Europe straddling Poland, Ukraine, and Belarus. The alternate name for the region is Lodomeria after the city of Volodymyr-Volynsky (Vo-Lodymer), which once was a political capital of the medieval Volhynian Principality. It has changed hands numerous times throughout history and been divided among competing powers. Since the fall of the Soviet Union in 1989, it has been part of the independent nation of Ukraine.
==Location and origin==

Geographically it is located in the Volhynian-Podolian Upland section of the vast East European Plain, between the rivers Prypyat and Western Bug. Relative to other historical regions, it is northeast of Galicia, east of Lesser Poland, and northwest of Podolia. The borders of the region are not clearly defined, and it is often considered to overlap a number of other regions, among which are Polesia and Podlasie.
Territories of historical Volhynia are now part of the Volyn, Rivne, and parts of Zhytomyr, Ternopil and Khmelnytskyi Oblasts of Ukraine, as well as parts of Poland (see Chełm). Major cities include Lutsk, Rivne, Kovel, Volodymyr-Volynskyi, Kremenets (Ternopil Oblast), and Starokostiantyniv (Khmelnytskyi Oblast). Before the World War II, many Jewish ''shtetls'' (villages), such as Trochenbrod and Lozisht, were an integral part of the region. At one time all of Volhynia was part of the Pale of Settlement designated by Imperial Russia on its southwesternmost border.
According to some historians, the region is named for the former city of ''Volyn'' or ''Velyn'', said to have been located on the Southern Bug River,〔E.M. Pospelov, ''Geograficheskie nazvaniya mira'' (Moscow, 1998), p. 104.〕 whose name may come from the Proto-Slavic root
*''vol/vel''- 'wet.' In other versions, the city was located over to the west of Volodymyr-Volynskyi near the mouth of Huczwa River (:pl:Huczwa), a tributary of the Western Bug. The land was mentioned in works of the Arabian scholar Al-Masudi who denoted the local tribe as "people of Valin". The first records can be traced to the Ruthenian chronicles, such as the ''Primary Chronicle,'' which mentions tribes of the Dulebe, Buzhan, and Volhynian peoples.
