Dovbysh (Ukrainian: Довбиш; Polish: Dołbysz) is a rural settlement in Zviahel Raion, Zhytomyr Oblast, Ukraine. The settlement was previously known as Markhlevsk (Ukrainian: Мархлевськ; Polish: Marchlewsk) after the Polish-born Soviet politician and civil activist Julian Marchlewski. Population: 4,071 (2022 estimate)[1]
History
[edit]In the 1920s Marchlewsk was an administrative center of Marchlewszczyzna, a Polish National Raion of Zhytomyr Okruha. Later it was incorporated into Kyiv Oblast.[citation needed]
During World War II, Jews of the town[2] were murdered in a mass execution perpetrated by an Einsatzgruppe.[3]
Until 26 January 2024, Dovbush was designated urban-type settlement. On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Dovbush became a rural settlement.[4]
