Novoshepelychi (Ukrainian: Новошепеличі; Russian: Новошепеличи) was a village near Pripyat, Ukraine, south-west of the Pripyat River basin. After the Chernobyl disaster in 1986 the village was contaminated by fallout and subsequently evacuated, and now lies within the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone. The village has been abandoned since 2013.
History
[edit | edit source]In the 11th century a settlement existed in the area, surrounded by a rampart and a moat. L. Pokhylevych suggested that this was the settlement of Shepel (or Shopol), mentioned in the chronicle of 1098.[1]
Before the Chernobyl disaster, 1683 people lived in the village.[2]
The village belonged to the Novoshepelychi Raion administrative division from 1923. Novoshepelychi Raion was dissolved in 1953 and the village joined the Chernobyl Raion. After the Chernobyl disaster in 1986, the raion was dissolved and merged into the neighbouring Ivankiv Raion.[3] The raion was abolished on 18 July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Kyiv Oblast to seven. The area of Ivankiv Raion was merged into Vyshhorod Raion.[4][5]
Geography
[edit | edit source]The village was located north of Pripyat, and lies on the road between Pripyat and Mazyr. Other near settlements are the villages of Stari Shepelychi, Kosharivka, and Benivka.
