'''Nizhyn''' ({{langx|uk|Ніжин}}, {{IPA|uk|ˈn⁽ʲ⁾iʒɪn|pron|LL-Q8798 (ukr)-Gzhegozh-Ніжин.wav}}; {{langx|ru|Нежин}}) is a city located in [[Chernihiv Oblast]] of northern [[Ukraine]] along the [[Oster River]]. The city is located {{convert|116|km|mi|0|abbr=on}} north-east of the national capital [[Kyiv]]. Nizhyn serves as the [[capital city|administrative center]] of [[Nizhyn Raion]]. It hosts the administration of [[Nizhyn urban hromada]] which is one of the [[hromada]]s of Ukraine<ref name="admreform_2020_nizhyn">{{cite web |title=Нежинская городская громада |url=https://gromada.info/ru/obschina/nizhyn/ |publisher=Портал об'єднаних громад України |language=ru}}</ref> and was once a major city of the [[Chernigov Governorate]]. Nizhyn has a population of {{Ua-pop-est2022|65,830|.}}
== History ==
The earliest known references to the location go back to 1147, when it was briefly mentioned as '''Unenezh'''.<ref>Нежин // Украинская Советская Энциклопедия. том 7. Киев, «Украинская Советская энциклопедия», 1982. стр.223</ref>
In the times of the [[Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth]], Nizhyn was granted [[Magdeburg rights]] (1625) as a self-governing town. In 1663, Nizhyn was the place of the [[Chorna rada of 1663|Black Council]] of [[Ukrainian Cossacks]], which elected [[Ivan Briukhovetsky|Bryukhovetsky]] as the new [[Hetman of Zaporizhian Host|Hetman]] of the [[Zaporizhian Host]] thus conditionally dividing Ukraine ([[Cossack Hetmanate]]) into [[left-bank Ukraine]] and [[right-bank Ukraine]]. It was also the seat of a major [[Cossack]] regiment (until 1782).
In the Cossack Hetmanate, Nizhyn had six [[voivode]]s (a Muscovite military position) from 1665 to 1697. The voivodes of the city were Ivan Rzhevskiy (1665–1672),<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Lesyk |first=Lyudmyla |date=2016 |title=The Report of Nizhyn Voivodes in the «Acts of South Western Russia» |url=http://mics.org.ua/journal/index.php/mics/article/view/9 |journal=City History, Culture, Society |language=en |issue=1 |pages=163–170 |doi=10.15407/mics2016.01.163 |issn=2616-4280 |doi-access=free}}</ref> Stepan Khruscheov (1672–1673), Prince Vladimir Volkonskiy (1673–1675), Prince Semeon Zvenigorodskiy (1673–1675), Avraam Khitrovo (1689–1692), and Ivan Saveolov Junior (1692–1697).{{Citation needed|date=May 2024}}
Nizhyn was once a major center of [[Hasidic Judaism]] and is the site of the ''[[Ohel (Chabad)|Ohel]]'' (tomb) of the [[Rebbe|Hasidic master]], Rabbi [[Dovber Schneuri]] of [[Chabad-Lubavitch]]. The city also housed the thriving Greek community,{{Citation needed|date=January 2008}} which enjoyed a number of privileges granted by [[Bohdan Khmelnytsky]].
In the 19th century Nizhyn became an ''[[uyezd]]'' capital of the [[Chernihiv Governorate]] and the biggest city in the ''[[guberniya]]''. In 1805, the [[Prince Bezborodko|Bezborodko]] [[Lyceum]] was established there (today — [[Nizhyn Gogol State University]]); its graduates include [[Nikolai Gogol]] whose statue graces one of city streets as well as [[Yevhen Hrebinka]] among other graduates. Nizhyn has also long been noted for its famous [[cucumber]]s.<ref>{{Cite web|title=газета Kyiv Weekly|url=http://weekly.com.ua/ukr/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090422031552/http://weekly.com.ua/ukr/|url-status=dead|archive-date=2009-04-22|date=2009-04-22|access-date=2020-05-15}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=Його Величнiсть нiжинський огiрок - Всеукраїнський незалежний медійний простір "Сіверщина"|url=https://siver.com.ua/news/2007-07-30-127|website=siver.com.ua|access-date=2020-05-15}}</ref>
During [[World War II]], Nizhyn was occupied by the [[Wehrmacht|German Army]] from 13 September 1941 to 15 September 1943.
===Jewish population===
Jews first settled in Nizhyn at the beginning of the 19th century after the [[Partitions of Poland|partition]] of [[Poland]]. The town grew to become a center for the [[Chabad]] [[Hasidic Judaism|Hasidim]] of Ukraine. [[Dovber Schneuri]], the second Chabad rebbe, is buried here. By 1847, 1,299 Jews had registered as residents. In 1897, 24% of the population, or 7,361 residents, were Jewish.
A wave of [[pogrom]]s severely affected the Jewish population in 1881 and 1905. One group of emigrants settled in Philadelphia and founded the [[Neziner Congregation]] in 1896.
During their retreat from the Germans in the spring of 1918, the [[Red Army]] carried out additional pogroms. During [[World War II]], the region was occupied by Germany, who murdered all Jews in the area. Only those who escaped survived.
In 1959, 1,400 Jews lived in Nizhyn, about 3% of the town's population. In 2005, Nizhyn population reached 80,000. Only about 300 Jewish families lived in the city.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ourfamilystory.net/NezhinChazanov.html|title=Nezhin in the 1800s|access-date=12 October 2009}}</ref>
===Aircraft crash===
In July 1969 two [[Tupolev Tu-22]] aircraft from the nearby air base [[Mid-air collision|collided in mid-air]]. The crew ejected and the plane flew on unpiloted for 52 minutes, threatening the city of Nizhyn before crashing 0.5&nbsp;km from the city's railway station.<ref name=Tu22>{{cite book| title = Tupolev Tu-22 'Blinder' Tu-22M 'Backfire' | last = Gordon | first = Yefim | publisher = Midland Publishing | year = 1999 | isbn = 1-85780-065-6 }}</ref>

Architecturally Nizhyn was shaped in the 18th century. Foremost among its buildings must be mentioned its seven [[Baroque architecture|Baroque]] churches: Annunciation Cathedral (1702–16, modernised 1814), Presentation Cathedral (1788), St. Michael's Church of the Greek community (1719–29), St John's Church (1752, ''illustrated, to the right''), Saviour's Transfiguration Church (1757), Intercession Church (1765), and the so-called Cossack [[St. Nicholas Cathedral, Nizhyn|Cathedral of St. Nicholas]] (1658, restored 1980s), a rare survival from the days of Nizhyn's Cossack glory, noted for its octagonal vaults and drums crowned by archetypal pear-shaped domes.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://sobory.ru/photo/index.html?photo=17063|title=Photo|website=sobory.ru}}</ref> Other notable buildings include the Trinity Church (1733, rebuilt a century later), the Greek magistrate (1785), and the Neoclassical complex of the [[Nizhyn Lyceum]] (designed by [[Luigi Rusca]], built in 1805–17, expanded in 1876–79).
