Lyozna (Belarusian: Лёзна|Liozna; Russian: Лиозно|Liozno; Polish: Łoźna; German: Ljesno; Yiddish: ליאזנע|Lyozne) is an urban-type settlement in Vitebsk Region, Belarus.[1] It serves as the administrative center of Lyozna District.[2] [1] It is located close to the border with Russia by the Vitebsk-Smolensk railroad branch and highway, on the Moshna River. As of 2023, it has a population of 6,631.[1]
The first known record of the Lyozna shtetl (small town with a high Jewish population) is dated 1654.
