History
[edit]
Lipowiec, as it was known in Polish, was grantedtown rightsin the early 17th century. It was aprivate town,administratively located in the Winnica County in theBracław Voivodeshipin theLesser Poland Provinceof the Kingdom of Poland.[2]It was annexed by theRussian Empirein theSecond Partition of Polandin 1793. In 1802, it became the administrative center of LypovetsuyezdinKiev Governorate.[3]In the late 19th-century the population was mostly employed in agriculture and grain trade, which was sold mostly toOdesa.[3]
DuringWorld War II,Lypovets was the site ofa battlebetween theSoviet Unionand theSlovak State.The battle ended with a Slovak victory, with a cumulative casualty count of nearly 700. Afterwards it was occupied byNazi Germantroops, from1941,to1944.In a field near Lypovets, from the end of April 1942, over 950 Jews were shot by German security forces with the support of local policemen and buried in two mass graves.[4]To commemorate the extermination, obelisks were erected in the 1950s - on the initiative of Leontii Usharenko, who was pulled out of the pit at the last minute and had to watch his family and acquaintances being murdered. Two memorials were erected at the mass graves of the Jewish victims in 2019 andceremonially inauguratedin September 2019.
