Kopychyntsi (Ukrainian: Копичинці, IPA: [koˈpɪtʃɪntsi] ⓘ; Polish: Kopyczyńce; Yiddish: קאפיטשיניץ, romanized: Koptchintz) is a small city in Chortkiv Raion, Ternopil Oblast, Ukraine.
[1] Kopychyntsi is the birthplace of Vasyl Ivanchuk, a chess grandmaster; Israel Jacob Kligler, who led the effort of eradicating malaria in Mandatory Palestine; and Pinhas Lavon, an Israeli politician.
In June 1919, during the Chortkiv offensive, the 1st Galician Corps of the ZUNR under Osyp Mykytka seized the town, but it was retaken by Polish forces under Józef Haller the following month.
It was made a seat of a separate powiat within Tarnopol Voivodeship and a garrison town of a Border Protection Corps battalion Kopyczyńce.
Following the September Campaign of 1939 and the outbreak of World War II, the town was occupied first by the Soviet Union until 1941 and then Nazi Germany until 1944.
