Karlin (Pinsk)

Karlin or Karalin (Belarusian: Каралін; Russian: Карлин; Yiddish: קארלין) is a village outside Pinsk, Belarus.

It was founded as an independent town in 1690 and was named after the village's founder, Jan Karol Dolski.

He also allowed Jews to settle in the area, where it became the seat of a Hasidic dynasty.

Following the destruction of Pinsk, many locals moved to the partially restored village, which with time became a notable suburb.

In the second partition of Poland in 1793, Karlin was part of the region ceded to Russia.
