khmel'nyts'kyi, ukraine

Khmel'nyts'kyi, (Khmelnitsky in Russian, Chmielnicki in Polish, sometimes spelled Khmelnytskyy) is a city in Ukraine. It is on the Southern Buh River. It was formerly named Proskurov, but was renamed in 1954, on the three hundredth anniversary of a treaty negotiated by Bohdan Khmelnytsky. It is the center of the Khmel'nyts'ka oblast' in Ukraine. The town was notable over the years for a series of pogroms carried out in the region, the last of which, on February 15, 1919, claimed an estimated 1,500 lives. The town's population is 246,800 (2004). It should not be confused with Pereiaslav-Khmel'nyts'kyi, a city in Ukraine's Kyivs'ka oblast'.
