Izium has a population of44,979 (2022 estimate),[5]making it the second-most populous city in Kharkiv Oblast behind Kharkiv proper. It has held economic significance for centuries due to its position as a transportation link between Kharkiv and theDonbasregion to the southeast.
The area around Izium has been periodically inhabited since ancient times, but the modern city has its origins in a 17th-century fortress defending againstTatarraids. Izium was the site of several battles duringWorld War II,but still grew rapidly during the 20th century due to its importance as a transport hub. During theRussian invasion of Ukraine,Russian forces occupied the city in April 2022 aftera battlethat destroyed much of the city. However, the city was recaptured by Ukrainian forces in the2022 Kharkiv counteroffensive.
History
editPre-founding
edit
The area that is now Izium has been inhabited since ancient times. Archeologists have discovered remnants ofMesolithicsettlements from the 13th- to 6th-century BC, andNeolithicsettlements from the fifth- to third-century BC. These finds include ceramic implements and flint tools.[6][7]The "Bondarisi" archeological tract near Izium gives its name to theBondarikha culture.[6]
The territory was later part of the ancientEast SlavicstateKievan Rus.In the 12th century AD Kievan Rus began to disintegrate, leading to increased incursions byCumannomads. In the year 1111, the territory that is now modern Izium was the site of theBattle of the Salnytsia River,in which the East Slavs, led byVladimir II MonomakhandSviatopolk II of Kiev,defeated a Cuman army on theSalnytsiariver. The largerconflict between the East Slavs and the Cumanscontinued until the early 13th century.[6]The area around Izium was devastated in the 1240s by theMongol Empireand itsinvasionof the already collapsing Kievan Rus.[6][8]
Founding and early history
editSettlement of the region by Slavs did not resume until the late 15th century, after the creation of a new centralized East Slavic state in the form of thePrincipality of Moscow,more intensified settlement took place on the banks of theDonetsriver. As the Principality of Moscow evolved into theTsardom of Russia,there was an effort to secure the southern border of the East Slavic lands, to stop the "devastating"attacksby theCrimean Tatars.[6]TheIzium Trail,one of the branches of theMuravsky Trail,was a warpath of the Crimeans in the area in the 16th and 17th centuries before the official founding of the city, passing near the future location of Izium.[9]
In response, Muscovy built fortifications in theSloboda Ukraineregion, like theBelgorod line(1635–1658) and theIzium line(1679–80), causing the Izium Trail to fall into disuse and easing invader pressure on Muscovy's border.[9]In 1681, a fortress named Izium was built by theKharkiv Sloboda Cossack Regimentwithin a small settlement on the location of Izium. This is generally regarded as the foundation date of Izium.[10][11]
The origin of the name "Izium" is uncertain. It may originate from aTurkic-languageword "huzun", meaning "a crossing", or from theMokryi Iziumets(also simply Iziumets) river that the city was built on the banks of, or from a Tatar word "izzun" meaning "long", or "elongated".[8]According to historical materials, it is likely that a Tatar settlement existed on nearbyMount Kremenetsas early as the 14th century, which makes it likely that the name of the town has some sort of Tatar origin.[12]InUkrainianandRussian,the town's name is spelled the exact same way as the word for "raisin",[13]but historian V. V. Markin argues that this is a coincidence, and any connection to a supposed Turkic word meaning "raisin" isfalse etymology.Markin notes that it would have probably been impossible to growgrapesin the area, making such a name illogical, and argues that such a word "huzun" meaning "raisin" does not exist in any Turkic language.[12]
Izium grew to be an important defense against Tatar invasions of the region. In 1684, Izium's Transfiguration Cathedral was built. Starting in 1685, Izium served as the seat of theIzium RegimentwithinSloboda Ukraine Governorate.[14]
Residents of Izium took part in theBulavin Rebellionof 1707-1708. On 7 October 1707, not far from Izium, a detachment of salt workers fromBakhmutandCossacksled byKondraty Bulavindefeated a Tsaristpunitive expeditionheading to Bakhmut. In summer 1708, Bulavin sent a squad to Izium, but this was defeated by the Tsarist authorities, and the rebellion overall ended in defeat. In 1708, due to the1708 Russian administrative reform,Izium was assigned toAzov Governorate.In 1718, it was reassigned toBelgorod ProvinceinsideKiev Governorate.[6]
Russian Empire
edit
In 1765, after the Izium Regiment was converted into a regular Russianhussar regimentas part of theabolition of the Cossack system in Sloboda Ukraine,Izium received city status and was assigned toSloboda Ukraine Governorateof the recently-proclaimedRussian Empire.[6]Starting in 1780, Izium was the administrative center ofIzyumsky Uyezd.Izyumsky Uyezd was originally a subdivision ofKharkov Viceroyaltyin 1780, but was transferred to the reformedSloboda Ukraine Governoratein 1796.[14]
In 1809, construction began on Saint Nicholas's church in Izium. Construction was finished in 1823, and today the church is one of Izium's most notable architectural features. In 1835, Izyumsky Uyezd was transferred again, this time toKharkov Governorate.[14]
By the 18th and 19th centuries, Izium was considered one of the largest economic centers in theSloboda Ukraineregion. By the 1880s, factories producing bricks, vodka, butter, lard, and wax operated in Izium.[15]By 1884, the city's main exports were wool, sold toKharkivandPoltava,and building materials sold toTaganrog.It had a population of 14,761 people.[16]
In 1910, the Kharkiv-Donbas railway that passed through the city was built.[15]In 1916, in accordance with an edict by TsarNicholas II,the construction of an optical glass plant began in Izium.[8]This was the first optical glass plant to be built in the Russian Empire.[17]
20th century and early 21st century
edit
Izium changed hands several times during theRussian Civil Warbetween 1918 and 1920, before finally being taken by the victoriousBolsheviks,who established theSoviet Unionon the territory of the former Russian Empire.[8]In 1923, Izium became the administrative center of the newly formedIzium Okruhainside theUkrainian SSR.In 1930, in accordance with republic-wide abolition of theokruha system in the Ukrainian SSR,Izium Okruha was abolished and replaced withIzium Raion,which was subordinated directly to the federal government of Soviet Ukraine.[18]In 1932, Izium and Izium Raion were assigned to the newly createdKharkiv Oblastof the Ukrainian SSR.[8]Izium was incorporated as acity of oblast significance;while Izium served as the administrative center of the raion, it did not belong to it, being subordinated directly to Kharkiv Oblast.[19][20]
Izium suffered underthe repressionsof Soviet dictatorJoseph Stalin.As a result of theHolodomor,a manmade famine in Soviet Ukraine between 1932 and 1933, 2,761 people from Izium are documented to have died.[8]
DuringWorld War II,Izium was the site of numerous important battles. ARed Armysalient was cut off by counterattacking German forces during theSecond Battle of Kharkivand was eliminated in one of the most expensive learning errors for the Red Army.[21]Izium was occupied by theGerman Armystarting on 24 June 1942.[18]The Germans operated a Nazi prison in the city.[22]Izium was liberated by the Red Army on 5 February 1943.[18]In mid-March 1943, German troops attacked Izium again, but were unsuccessful, according to Soviet sources. There were more clashes near the city in summer 1943, during theIzyum–Barvenkovo offensive.Soviet Lieutenant GeneralPyotr Volokh,commander of the18th Mechanized Corpsthat fought on the Izium bridgehead, died in combat in the southern outskirts of the city. On 13 September 1950, after the end of the war, a monument toVolokhwas unveiled in Izium.[18]Until 2022, there was also a street named after Volokh.[23]
Izium's population grew rapidly in the 20th century due to its importance as a junction between Kharkiv and theDonbas.[14]In January 1989 the population was 64,334 people, up from 12,000 in 1926.[24][25]
During the2010 Ukrainian presidential election,more than 85% of people in Izium voted forVictor Yanukovych.[26]In January 2013, Izium's population was 51,511 people.[27]
Russo-Ukrainian War
editWar in Donbas and decommunization
edit
Deutsche Welle(DW) reported in April 2014 that during the2014 pro-Russian unrest in Ukraine,there was only one attempt to hoist theRussian flagon any government buildings in Izium. Many of the people who had voted for Yanukovych in 2010 still supported him amidst theEuromaidanprotests that ousted him. Most of the people DW interviewed supported some kind offederalization of Ukraine,or united Ukraine, and did not support the idea of joining theRussian Federation.A local government official said that out of the approximately 50,000 inhabitants, Izium had "a maximum of 200 activepro-Russianpeople ".[26]
Izium was the site of sporadic fighting during the beginning of thewar in Donbasin 2014. The Sloviansk-Izium highway was referred to as the "highway of death" by locals during the summer of 2014 due to constant shelling from pro-Russian separatists.[28]Izium was seen as an important link between separatist-heldSlovianskand Kharkiv, which also had active pro-Russian movements, and there were fears that separatists would move in that direction.[26]During Ukraine'sSiege of Slovianskto reclaim it from the separatists, Izium was used as a base for operations by theUkrainian military.[29]Large-scale fighting in the proximity of Izium halted once Ukrainian forces liberated Sloviansk in July 2014.[28]
On 30 September 2014, a monument toVladimir Leninin Izium was destroyed by unknown persons. This came as part of a larger trend ofdemolition of monuments to Vladimir Lenin in Ukraine.[30]To comply withnationwide decommunization lawsenacted in 2016, the local "LeninSquare "was renamed"John LennonSquare "in February 2016.[31]
Izium urban hromadawas formed on 14 June 2019, as anamalgamated hromadawith its administrative center in Izium by uniting theIzium city councilwith a nearby village council.[32]On 12 June 2020, the hromada was expanded to include several other local councils, and, along with all other amalgamated hromadas in the country, was converted into a plainhromada.[33]On 18 July 2020, the city of Izium, along with the rest of the hromada, was subordinated to Izium Raion, as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine. The area of Izium Raion was also significantly expanded to include the area of several other raions, which reduced the number of raions of Kharkiv Oblast to seven.[19][20]
Russian invasion of Ukraine
edit
During the full-scaleRussian invasion of Ukraine,Russia began trying to take Izium in March 2022, beginning thebattle of Izium.[34]Its importance as a rail hub made it an important target for the invadingRussian military.[35]On 9 March, Russian forces used a large airborne munition on a civilian apartment building in Izium, killing at least 44 civilians in whatHuman Rights Watchcalled one of the deadliestattacks on civilians during the war.[36]
Russia gained control over Izium on 1 April 2022.[34]Russian soldiers used the "Lyceum No. 2" school as a base. The director of the school was one of the residents of Izium accused ofcollaborating with Russia,and would later be put on trial in Kharkiv by Ukraine after the end of occupation.[37]On 3 April 2022, the Ukrainian government stated that two Russian soldiers were killed and 28 others hospitalized after Ukrainian civilians handed out poisoned cakes to Russian soldiers of the Russian3rd Motor Rifle Divisionin Izium.[38][39]In May 2022, Russian forcesattempted to cross the Siverskyi Donets Riverand advance south. According to theBritish Ministry of Defense,Ukrainian forces rebuffed the attempted river crossing with substantial Russian losses.[40]Residents of Izium said they were imprisoned, and tortured by Russian soldiers during the occupation.[37]The June 2022shooting of Andrii Bohomazby Russian soldiers in Izium during the occupation was featured inLubomir Levitski'sdocumentaryFollow Me.[41][42]
Ukraine began acounteroffensive in the Kharkiv regionin early September 2022, during which Izium was liberated.[43]During the frantic Russian retreat, the Russian soldiers "completely gutted" the school that served as their base,looting"anything of possible value", including water heaters and small sinks from each classroom.[37]After Ukrainian troops secured the liberated city, local police officers foundmass graves of 440 bodiesin Izium.[43]According to city officials, by the end of the occupation, more than 80% of the city's infrastructure was destroyed; about 70% of multi-storey buildings are destroyed. The city administration estimates that all in all, about 1,000 people lost their lives under the Russian occupation.[44]
In December 2022, Izium decided to rename 22 street names in the city that previously held names affiliated withcommunismand withRussia.Among others, the street named after Pyotr Volokh was renamed to honor HetmanPavlo Polubotok.[23]
Unexploded ordnancehas posed a major threat to Izium's population, even months after the battle. In March 2023, a local doctor said that on average, the hospital received a person with wounds from landmines every week.[45]In September 2023, a year after the end of Russian occupation, Izium was still scarred and its people traumatized by war. Most of the city's schools were destroyed in the battles, and were planned to open by the start of 2024, so most students had to attend throughonline schooltechnology. The hospital still bore heavy damage from a missile strike, and urgent surgeries were held in a "small, dank room in the basement" due to fear ofShahed droneattacks. One resident said, "People still haven’t recovered from this psychological trauma[.] This feeling of total fear that came with the occupation — it hasn’t disappeared."[37]
