Sheshory (Ukrainian: Шешори; Polish: Szeszory) is a village in Kosiv urban hromada,[1] Kosiv Raion, in Ukraine's western Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast. Its population is 2,116 (as of 2020).[2]
Overview
Sheshory was first mentioned in 1427[3] or 1445,[4] although evidence of human settlement in the village dates to the Stone Age.[3] The village is located near the Pistynka [uk] river, and several waterfalls are located near the village. A sanatorium and tourist resort both exist in the village.[4]
The village is inhabited by Hutsuls, and contains Horishnia Tserkva, one of the oldest Hutsul churches. A narodnyi dim was founded in 1924, and the wooden Church of the Holy Great Martyr Paraskeva of Sunday [uk] continues to stand.[5] Sheshory was the site of a battle on 20 October 1950, during the anti-Soviet resistance by the Ukrainian Insurgent Army. As a result of the battle, two commanders of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (Vasyl Savchak [uk] and Hryhorii Lehkyi [uk]) were killed.[6]
A monument to the writer, poet, and artist Taras Shevchenko, created by Ivan Honchar [uk],[7] was opened by Viacheslav Chornovil in his capacity as a Komsomol worker on 8 August 1965. As a result of the speech Chornovil gave during the opening of the monument, he was removed from the Komsomol.[8] A plaque commemorating the speech is placed at the bottom of the monument. Another monument, to the writer and poet Ivan Franko, was erected in the village on 13 August 1995.[7]
