History
[edit]Lubny is reputed to be one of the oldest cities in Ukraine, allegedly founded in 988 byknyaz(prince)Vladimir the Great(Volodymyr) ofKyiv.The first written record, however, dates from 1107.
Initially, it was a small woodenfortressabove theSula River.The fortress quickly grew, and in the 15th or 16th century, it was owned by the powerfulWisniowieckifamily. The town was ruled byMagdeburg rightsand had acoat of arms.
In 1596, Lubny was the site of the last battle ofSeveryn Nalyvaikoagainst the Poles. In the 17th century the city was one of the largest in the area. In 1638 it had 2,646 inhabitants.
AfterKhmelnytsky Uprising,between 1648 and 1781, the town was the headquarters of theLubny Cossack Regiment.
In 1782 Lubny became anuyezdcenter ofKiev Viceroyalty,in 1793 the town was included into Malorossiya Governorate, since 1802 - intoPoltava Governorate[4]
After arailroadline was constructed through Lubny in 1901, industry grew rapidly and expanded in the city.
A local newspaper («Лубенщина») has been circulating in the city since July 1917.[5][6]
During theGermanoccupation in theSecond World War,Lubny was the centre of majorpartisan (resistance) movement.TwoNazi concentration campswere there.[7]On 16 October 1941 over a thousand of the city's Jews, including women and children, were massacred by German Einsatzgruppen on the outskirts of the city. The action, all the way until the execution, was thoroughly documented by photographerJohannes Hähle.[8]
Until 18 July 2020, Lubny was designated as acity of oblast significanceand did not belong to Lubny Raion even though it was the center of the raion. As part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Poltava Oblast to four, the city was merged into Lubny Raion.[9][10]
