Zdvizhen

Zdvizhen was a town of Kyivan Rus' on the Zdvizh River west of Kyiv. The chronicle mentions it in 1097, when the blinded Prince Vasylko of Terebovlia was taken through the town after a struggle among the princes. A market and a bridge across the river appear in the account. The precise site of the old settlement has been the subject of differing local traditions.
