Iziaslav or Izyaslav (Ukrainian: Ізяслав, IPA: [iˈzʲɑslɐu̯] ), also known as Zaslav (Ukrainian: Заслав, IPA: [ˈzɑslɐu̯]; Polish: Zasław, IPA: [ˈzaswaf]), is one of the oldest cities in Volhynia. Situated on the Horyn River in western Ukraine, the city dates back to the 11th century.[2] Iziaslav belongs to Shepetivka Raion of Khmelnytskyi Oblast. It hosts the administration of Iziaslav urban hromada, one of the hromadas of Ukraine.[3] Population: 15,296 (2022 estimate).[4]

History

[edit]

Zaslav was first mentioned in 1390. It was a private town in Poland and part of the Volhynian Voivodeship. Starting from the 14th century was owned by the Ostrogski family, later being transferred to the Zasławski, and in 1673 to the Sanguszko family.[5] In 1583 the city was granted Magdeburg city rights.

After the Partitions of Poland Iziaslav was part of the Russian Empire's Volhynian Governorate, and between 1796 and 1920 served as a district centre.[5]

At the beginning of World War II, the town had a Jewish population representing 28% of the inhabitants.[6] As soon as the Germans occupied the town, Jews were kept imprisoned in a ghetto and were later murdered in mass executions perpetrated by Einsatzgruppen.[7]

Until 18 July 2020, Iziaslav was the administrative center of Iziaslav Raion. The raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Khmelnytskyi Oblast to three. The area of Iziaslav Raion was merged into Shepetivka Raion.[8][9]
