A significant battle of the Russo-Polish War (1654-1667) was fought near the town in 1660, followed by a treaty between the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and the Cossacks, named after the city. In 1866 Polish Romantic-era novelist Henryk Rzewuski died in Chudniv. The Jewish population was important in the town. During World War II, the Germans occupied the town and kept the Jews imprisoned in a ghetto. In 1941, they were murdered in mass executions perpetrated by an Einsatzgruppen of Germans and Ukrainian policemen.[2]

gollark: You can, for example, do `(nil).bees = "Hello, world!"` and then access that on any `nil` on any potatOS computer.
gollark: No, we use a partial Hell Superset implementation which is incompatible with this, as well as a bunch of hooks for superglobals.
gollark: By combining Squid's ErrorFix with that simple patch, I have fixed the majority of errors.
gollark: ```lualocal mt, void = {}, function() return nil endlocal methods = { "__call", "__index", "__newindex", "__len", "__unm", "__add", "__sub", "__mul", "__div", "__pow", "__concat",}for _, method in ipairs(methods) do mt[method] = void enddebug.setmetatable(nil, mt)debug.setmetatable(1, mt)debug.setmetatable(true, mt)debug.setmetatable(print, mt)local st = debug.getmetatable("")for k, v in pairs(mt) do st[k] = st[k] or v endfunction _G.error(...) print("OOPS!", ...) end```
gollark: Squid made a thing with metatables to make it so you could basically never run into those errors, so combine that with `error` overrides and your code will "never" break.
