St Parascheva Church

Located in the Ukrainian part of the historic Bukovina region, the commune is situated on the Siret river at an altitude of 432 metres (1,417 ft). As of 2001, it had 3115 inhabitants.

Historically part of the Principality of Moldavia, the area became part of the Habsburg Monarchy in 1775. Since 1849, it was incorporated into the Storoschinetz district of the Duchy of Bukovina, a crown land of the Austrian Empire and Austria-Hungary. After World War I, it became part of the newly established Storojineț County in the Kingdom of Romania. According to the Nazi–Soviet Pact of 1939, the region was annexed by the Soviet Union and incorporated into the Storozhynets Raion of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic. The German population was resettled to Nazi Germany, while Romanian citizens were subjected to persecution. Two years later, when the Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union was launched, the area was re-occupied by Romanian forces. The members of the local Jewish community were deported to Bessarabia and Transnistria, where most of them were killed. The region was reconquered by advancing Red Army forces in 1944; it became part of independent Ukraine in 1991.
