Luhyny

Luhyny (Ukrainian: Лугини, Russian: Луги́ны, Polish: Łuhyny) is a rural settlement in Korosten Raion, Zhytomyr Oblast, Ukraine.

Luhyny was founded in 1606, and its name comes from Ukrainian word "луг" ("meadow"), as there are a lot of green places in that area.

By that time, many Jews had evacuated to the East and young men were enrolled in the Soviet army.

The Jews left were murdered during mass executions, it was carried out by German mobile units, accompanied by local policemen.

On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Luhyny became a rural settlement.
