Kupychiv (Ukrainian: Купичів, Polish: Kupiczów, also called Kupiczów Czeski – Czech Kupychiv) is a village located in northwestern Ukraine in Volhynia.
[1] In the Second Polish Republic, Kupychiv (then Kupiczów) was part of the Kovel county, Volhynian Voivodeship.
During the Massacres of Poles in Volhynia, Kupychiv became one of centers of Czech self-defence, which, allied with local Poles, together fought Ukrainian nationalists of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army.
After 1944, when Volhynia became part of the Soviet Union, most of Czech and Polish survivors left the village.
