This is an automatically translated description

The book "Old Volyn and Volyn Polissya" is the fruit of thirty years of painstaking work by a scientist. Hundreds of expeditions, archaeological research, thousands of kilometres on foot, archival research and interviews with old-timers - all this resulted in the local history dictionary "Old Volyn and Volyn Polissya". The two-volume edition with a total volume of 1200 pages contains descriptions of 1442 settlements of the region. The articles are presented in alphabetical order. Despite all the scholarship and encyclopaedic nature of the publication, the book is surprisingly easy to read. Once you become interested in one article, you are compelled to read more. Our villages come to mind, the history of which, from the Paleolithic period to the early twentieth century, has been lovingly collected by the author. Here you can find unique information about both well-known settlements and villages that have disappeared or changed their names. O. Tsynkalovskyi's research covers the territory of historical Volyn - now it is Volyn, Rivne, parts of Khmelnytskyi and Zhytomyr regions.
