    MOZYR

    I. The Locality. Mozyr is located in the deep Palesse. Palesse occupies a vast area: it encompasses most of the Pinsk district, part of the Bobruysk and Rechitsa districts, part of the Ovruch district in Volyn Province, and part of the Radomyshl district in Kiev Province, but the center of Palesse is the Mozyr district. According to ancient accounts, this entire huge area was once flooded by waters, forming one continuous lake connected by one of its channels to the Baltic Sea. At present, most of this area is covered with sands, swamps, lakes, forests, and shrubs. From the lakes…

    LELCHYTSY PARISH

    In the Lelechitsy volost (district), there were 19 churches, three synagogues, and a church (likely meaning a Catholic church), which had 53 clergy. From detailed records of Roman Catholic parishes in the Mozyr district in 1867, it follows that a significant part of the population of the Buinavichy, Lelechitsy, and Tonezh volosts were also Catholic believers. Thus, in the Mozyr deanery of the Petrykau parish church (within the Orthodox parishes of the Buinavichy Mother of God, Astrazhany Intercession, Simanichy in the name of Paraskeva, and Lelechitsy Trinity churches), as well as in the Pinsk deanery of the David-Haradok church (within…

    HLUSHKEVICHY, HLUSHKOVICHI

    Throughout its history, the settlement had different spellings of its name: Hlushkovichy and Hlushkowskaye (1545), Hlushkevichy (1622), Hlushkovichy (1924), Hlushkevichy (1953). The toponym is a characteristic name for a settlement located far from routes, in a remote place, in the backwoods (hlush), and it was very difficult to reach. An interesting opinion is the connection of this toponym with various meanings of the word: a stagnant river branch or a bay, as well as a plot of land at the end of developed territory, near a forest or an impassable swamp. Some old-timers explain the name of the village as…

    BUYNAVICHY, BUYNOVICHI

    There is reason to believe that this settlement already existed in the 15th century. For instance, on May 31, 1412, the Grand Duke of Lithuania, Vytautas, granted his entire Ubarć* domain with all its villages and possessions (without listing them) to Vilnius Bishop Mikalaj (Nicholas) and his successors. The hearth tax register from Ubarć “in the Kyiv powiat (district)” for 1581 only outlines this volost (district) as consisting of 10 villages, which are fully listed in the 1763 inventory of the Ubarć estate, and among them is the village of Buynavichy. The origin of the toponym Buynavichy is likely related…
