Yustynivka ( Юстинівка) is a village in Ternopil Raion of Ternopil Oblast in western Ukraine. It belongs to Pidhaitsi urban hromada, one of the hromadas of Ukraine.[1] The population is 250.
The village was founded in the late 18th Century, around 13km north-east of Pidhaytsi. The village was an ethnic German colony, and had the name Beckersdorf. In 1945, the German inhabitants were forced to leave the territory.[2]
Hans Moretti, the illusionist and escapologist, was born (as Johannes Crewe) in Yustynivka in 1928, when it was still known as Beckersdorf.
