Khotyn Polish: Chocim; Romanian: Hotin; Russian: Khotin) is a town in the Chernivtsi Oblast of Ukraine. In former times the town was part of the Bessarabia region, which between the 15th and the 20th centuries passed successively to Moldavia, the Ottoman Empire, Russia, Romania, the Soviet Union, and Ukraine and Moldova. Due to the frequent change of control the name also changed frequently, and there are a multitude of spellings for the town's name, including but not limited to Khotyn, Chocim, Chotyn, Hotin, Choczim, or Khotin. The city is famous for its history and archaeology, and also for the Khotyn Fortress. In the 10th century, Khotyn was a minor settlement of Kievan Rus. In the later part of middle ages it was the seat of a Genoese colony and then part of the Moldavian principality, which by the 17th century falled under Turkish suzeranity. The chief events in its annals are: the two defeats of the Turks by the army of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, in 1621 by hetman Jan Chodkiewicz, and again in 1673 by king Jan Sobieski; the defeat of the Turks in 1739 by the Russians under Munnich; the defeat of the Russians by the Turks in 1768; the capture by the Russians in 1769, and by the Austrians in 1788; and the occupation by the Russians in 1806. It finally passed to Russia with Bessarabia in 1812 by the Peace of Bucharest. PLACES INCLUDE - IVANTCHIK, IVANETZ, STUDENITZA
