Khmelnytskyi

Khmelnytskyi (Ukrainian: Хмельницький, translit.: Khmel'nyts'kyi; Russian: Хмельницкий; Polish: Chmielnicki) is a city in Ukraine in the region of Podillia. It is located on the Southern Buh River and about 340km from the Ukrainian capital, Kiev. The city was founded in 1493 as Proskuriv, later Proskurov, but in 1954 was renamed Khmelnytskyi on the three-hundredth anniversary of a treaty negotiated by Bohdan Khmelnytsky. It is the center of the Khmelnytskyi Oblast in Ukraine. The alternative transliterations of the name include Khmelnitskiy, Khmelnitsky, and Khmelnytskyy. The city is served by Khmelnytskyi Ruzhichnaya Airport. As of 2005, the city's population is 254,000.
The town was notable for a series of pogroms carried out in the region, the last of which claimed an estimated 1,500 lives on February 15, 1919.
Khmelnytskyi should not be confused with Pereiaslav-Khmelnytskyi, a city in Ukraine's Kiev Oblast.
The football team FC Podillya Khmelnytskyi is based in Khmelnytskyi.
