1.2. Brief historical background

Lutsk is one of the most ancient cities in Ukraine. The first documentary reference about Lutsk dates back to the Hypatian Codex from 1085, when the city became the center of internecine fight between the heirs of Yaroslav the Wise. However, archaeological research give the ground to believe that the settlement on the territory of modern Lutsk was founded before the XI century. In the period of Kyiv Rus, Lutsk was the capital of a separate principality, which was part of the Volyn, and later Volyn-Galician land. In the XII century Luchesk had strong wooden fortifications that enabled to withstand a six-week siege by regiments of Yuri Dolgorukyi in the spring of 1150. During these events, his son, the young Prince Andrew was close to death. Lutsk witnessed the Tatar-Mongol invasion. The chronicle shows that in 1259 the city withstood the siege of Khan Kuremsa. In 1267 Prince Vasilko, on demand of the Khan's commander Burundai, destroyed fortifications in . In the second half of the 14th century the role of Lutsk as the capital of the Volyn land became more significant due to the reign of Lubart-Demetrius. He replaced wooden fortification constructions with bricks, that changed the external appearance of Lutsk castle. After the death of Lubart, Lutsk continues to be the residence of Lithuanian- Russian princes: (1392-1430) and Svidrigiello (1431-1452). In 1429 a Congress of European Monarchs took place in Lutsk to discuss the issues concerning protection of Europe from Ottoman Empire. On the meeting Lithuanian Prince Vytautas hosted Polish King Wladyslaw II Jagiello, the future emperor, King of Rome, Bohemia, Hungary Sigismund I of Luxembourg, King of England and Sweden Eric VII. In 1432, Lutsk was granted . As a result the citizens of Lutsk received the opportunity to elect bodies of self-government. Since the late XVI century Lutsk Castle lost its significance as a defensive fortress, but the city remains to be the social and spiritual capital of the region. Due to the large number of sacral buildings, contemporaries called it "Rome of Volyn". After the Union of Lublin in 1569, Volyn integrated into the Kingdom of Poland. Lutsk became the capital of the newly formed voivodship. At that time, the city gradually became more and more Polish. In order to prevent the Polish influence and resist consequences of the Brest Church Union (1596) in Lutsk in early XVII century a fraternity was founded. It received the official recognition of the king with the privilege to build a church and shelter. At late of XVII-XVIII centuries. Lutsk is slowly declining. It is devastated by frequent fires, floods and epidemics. Cultural and religious Rus (Ukrainian) life became gradually fading in the city. was replaced by Polish, and Poles become governing officials.

At that time (1895) the population of Lutsk was 15125 people. In 1915 during the the took place in outskirts of Lutsk. As a result, the Russian Army occupied the territory of , and including Lutsk and tremendously defeated Austro-Hungarian troops and got into the history of the World War I.

In April 1917 it was established the first Ukrainian socio-political association the “Ukrainian Community”. During the Hetmanate government in August 1918, the organization "Prosvita" was formed. On December 20, 1918, troops of the Supreme Commander entered Lutsk. On May 16, 1919, Lutsk was seized by Polish troops, and according to the 1920, western Volhynia was included to the . In March 1921, Lutsk became the capital of the new Volyn Voivodeship and started to develop its infrastructure actively. In the autumn of 1939 the city became part of the USSR, becoming the center of the Volyn region, which formed the western part of the former Volyn region. On June 25, 1941, the city was occupied by German troops. It was preceded by a terrible event - on June 23, NKVD soldiers executed about 3,000 prisoners without trial in the courtyard of the Lutsk prison. In the postwar period, Lutsk was gradually rebuilt. The city developed especially rapidly in the 60's and 70's of the XX century. In 1973, new city borders were approved. At the same time, the construction of powerful enterprises began: a bearing plant, a melange factory and other industrial facilities, which led to a rapid increase in population.
