Istoryi Mist i Sil Ukrainskoi RSR (History of Cities and Villages in the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic) is a series of 26 volumes, one for each of the 25 Oblasts (Provinces) and one for the City of Kiyev, Ukraine. They were published from 1967 to 1974, and give the history on the formation of the town up to the Soviet era. In some cases, the Soviets changed the name of the town from the original Ukrainian/Polish name, and since the 1990s the Ukrainians have changed the name back to a similar name from originally. For instance, in Rivne Oblast, the city of Radzyvilow (Polish spelling) was changed by the Soviets to Chervonoarmeisk and the Ukrainians have now changed the name to Radyvilov. The Rivne book still has it shown as Chervonoarmeisk. If the Parish Registers for Rivne Oblast are microfilmed by the Mormon Church, the records will probably be found under Radzyvilow. You will have to know the name of the original town and of the Russian change of name.

The following is a list of the municipalities in the 25 Oblast volumes. The indexes at the back of each book indicate the Raions (Counties) in each Oblast and the cities, towns and villages in each Raion. There are from 10 to 29 Raions in each Oblast, and some Raions have city states.

Also included is the date of publication of the volume, and the page number for each city, town or village indicated in the Oblast book. The Ukrainian indexes have been realphabetized to the English alphabet.

-The letter "YA" ( Я ) is shown as IA in the middle of a word and as YA at the beginning of a word.

-The letter "YU" ( Ю ) is shown as IU in the middle of a word and as YU at the beginning of a word.

-For the letter "H" ( Г ), "GH" is used in the Romanization of "ZGH" to avoid confusion with the "ZH" sound. I believe there were 3 place names which had the "GH" for the letter "H".

Please note that in the Ukrainian Alphabet, the letter order is different than in the English Alphabet. For those not familiar with the Ukrainian order, we have realphabetized the list to coincide with the English Alphabet.

There are at least 3 places in Toronto, Canada, which have a copy of all 26 volumes of this series, the Petro Jacyk Centre of Robarts Library, University of Toronto; The St. Vladimir Library at St. Vladimir Institute, 620 Spadina Avenue; and the Ukrainian National Federation Library, 145 Evans Avenue, Toronto. Large University or genealogical libraries may also have copies of the series.
