Tetiiv or Tetiyev is a city in Bila Tserkva Raion in the Kyiv Region in Ukraine. Tetiiv has a railway station on the Southwestern Railways Koziatyn - Zhashkiv line. It hosts the administration of Tetiiv urban hromada, one of the hromadas of Ukraine.[1] The population is The city is located on two banks of the Roska River, into which the right tributaries of the Rosishka and Dubravka flow.
The main form of transportation is the Kozyatin-Zhashkiv railway, which passes through the city. There are two railway stations: Tetiiv and Sloboda Post, which are both located in the western part of the city.
Tetyjów, as it was known in Polish, was granted Magdeburg town rights with a weekly market and two annual fairs by Polish King Sigismund III Vasa in 1606. It was a private town of the Ostrogski, Zasławski, Sanguszko, Leduchowski and Ostrowski noble families,[2] administratively located in the Bracław County in the Bracław Voivodeship in the Lesser Poland Province of the Kingdom of Poland.[3]
Tetiiv was first inhabited by Jews since the 17th century, with many members of the community dying in a massacre by Haydamaks in 1768. Despite this, Tetiiv continued to exist as a shtetl and held a 95% Jewish population in 1897.In August 1919, Cossacks from the White Army ransacked the city, killing dozens of Jews.[4] This was followed by a larger pogrom in March 1920, in which anti-Bolshevik insurgents[5] went door to door destroying Jewish houses and killing civilians on sight, culminating in an arson attack on the synagogue while it housed 2,000 worshipers inside,[6] followed by the gunning down of any survivors who tried to escape.[7]
An estimated 3,000-4,000 Jews died due to the Tetiyev pogroms and the remaining Jewish population completely fled the city, only returning a decade later.[8] [9]
A significant diaspora from Tetiyev immigrated to Cleveland, Ohio, where they established the Oheb Zedek-Cedar Sinai Synagogue.[10] [11]
During World War II, the city was occupied by Nazi Germany from 1941 to 1944.
Until 18 July 2020, Tetiiv was the administrative center of Tetiiv Raion. The raion was abolished that day as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Kyiv Oblast to seven. The area of Tetiiva Raion was merged into Bila Tserkva Raion.[12] [13]
Since May 17, 2018, Tetiiv has been a member of the European Union's Mayors for Economic Growth Initiative.[16] The city has made an emissions reduction program that intends to cut down on carbon emissions by 30% by 2030, with a long-term goal of 50%.[17]
