Sudova Vyshnia

Sudova Vyshnia (Ukrainian: Судова Вишня, IPA: [sʊˈdɔwɐ ˈwɪʃnʲɐ] ⓘ; Polish: Sądowa Wisznia) is a small city in the Yavoriv Raion of the Lviv Oblast (region) of Ukraine.

The railway line (twin track) leads to Kraków and Silesia in Poland, a main route for carrying coal to the former USSR.

Until the 1772 Partitions of Poland, Sądowa Wisznia, as it was officially called, was part of Przemyśl Land, Ruthenian Voivodeship.

When captured by the USSR in the Second World War, the town had a large main square, cobbled and with a podium – suitable for public meetings.

When under the administration of Nazi Germany during the Second World War, being in the area called Galicia since ancient times, it was not considered occupied but a part of the German Reich.

Today, Sudova Vyshnia is one of the centers of the Poles in Ukraine, with a local office of the Association of Polish Culture of the Lviv Land.
