Ust-Putyla (Ukrainian: Усть-Путила; Romanian; Moldavian; Moldovan: Gura Putilei) is a village in Vyzhnytsia Raion, Chernivtsi Oblast, in western Ukraine. It is the capital of Ust-Putyla rural hromada, one of the hromadas of Ukraine. Its population is 623 (as of 2024).[1]
Ust-Putyla was first mentioned in the 18th century, although by that point it had already existed for centuries prior. Its name descends from the Ukrainian word Ukrainian: брід, or "ford", as it is surrounded on all sides but one by the river. The village's residents joined the peasant uprising led by Lukjan Kobylytsia. The village is inhabited by Hutsuls.[2] A varenyky festival was held in the village in September 2021.[3]
Ust-Putyla is home to the wooden Saint Paraskeva Church,[4] which belongs to the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (Moscow Patriarchate). In 2021, ₴7,000 was stolen from the church by unknown perpetrators.[5]
