The Stokhid (also written Stokhod, according to the Russian name; Ukrainian: Стохід) is a river in Volyn Oblast, Ukraine.
In the First World War, after the Brusilov breakthrough (the main hostilities took place within the Volyn region), along the river Stokhid and Pripyat there was a defensive line lasting almost a year between the Russian and Austro-German troops.
On the left bank, the latter created trenches and concrete ditches, serviced by a network of narrow-gauge railways for the transport of ammunition.
In the years of the First World War, there were several changes to the front line on the Volhynia between the Russians and the Austro-German troops.
The swampy valleys and banks of the Stokhid River became the grave of thousands of soldiers and officers of the Russian Imperial Guard and the Austro-Hungarian and German forces.
Oral evidence from local inhabitants indicates that in the late 1920s, men came from Germany to rebury their compatriots in a cemetery in the village of Polyana, two kilometers from the Loviš.
