History

The Polish conquest of the Kingdom of Galicia in 1349 led to it being fully absorbed by Catholic Poland. Upon annexing it in 1349, Polish king Casimir III the Great adopted the title of King of Poland and Ruthenia, and the territory was transformed into the Ruthenian Voivodeship (Latin: Palatinatus Russiae) in 1434. During the partitions of Poland (1772_1795), it was incorporated into a crown land of the Austrian Empire – the Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria.

On 1 April 1928, the hamlets of Dzembronia, Bystrets, Zelene, and Yavirnyk were separated from the commune of Żabie (Verkhovyna) of Kosiv Poviat, and the self-governing village of Dzembronia was thus formed.[5] In 1939, 1,750 residents lived in the village (1,600 Greek-Catholic Ukrainians, 110 Latin Ukrainians, 40 Poles).[6]

After it was annexed by the Soviet Union, the village was renamed Berestetska Dzembronia,[7] and on June 7, 1946, by decree of the Presidium of the Verkhovna Rada of the Ukrainian SSR, the village of was changed to Berestechko. After the Soviet Union dissolved in 1991, Ukraine gained independence. On 4 June 2009, by a resolution of the Verkhovna Rada, the village of Berestechko was changed back to Dzembronia.[8][9]
