Pavlovychi (Ukrainian: Павловичі, Polish: Pawłowice) was a village in Ukraine. It is located in Chervonohrad Raion, Lviv Oblast. It was annexed by the Soviet Union in 1951 due to the Polish-Soviet territorial exchange and joined the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic.[1][2][3]
History
Per the Polish census of 1921, the village had population of 268, with 250 Orthodox Christians, 17 Roman Catholics and 1 Greek Catholics; 188 Ukrainians and 80 Poles.[4]
On 29 July 1929 Polish authorities destroyed local Orthodox church.[5][6]
Until February 15, 1951, Pavlovychi was located in the Dolhobyczów municipality, Hrubieszów County, Lublin Voivodeship. In 1951 - as one of two small slices of the Dołhobyczów municipality (the other was the area around Piaseczno) - it was annexed to the Soviet Union as part of the 1951 border swap agreement. This was the only part of the pre-1939 Lublin voivodeship that became part of the USSR; the other Lublin municipalities that changed state in 1951 belonged during the Second Republic to the Lviv voivodeship (to the districts of Sokal and Rawsk).[7]
