Zabolotiv
Zabolotiv (Ukrainian: Заболотів, Polish: Zabłotów, Yiddish: זאַבלאטאוו Zablotov) is an urban-type settlement in Kolomyia Raion of Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast in Western Ukraine. It hosts the administration of Zabolotiv urban hromada, one of the hromadas of Ukraine.[1] Population: 3,932 (2021 est.)[2]. In 2001, the population was 4,129.
History
Starting from 1790, a growing Jewish community became an important part of local life. At the beginning of the 20th century, antisemitic unrest culminated in the first pogrom in Zabolotiv in 1903. Later, German Nazis exterminated one part of the Jewish population while others managed to flee to the United States and Israel.[citation needed]
Until 18 July 2020, Zabolotiv belonged to Sniatyn Raion. The raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast to six. The area of Sniatyn Raion was merged into Kolomyia Raion.[3][4]
