Novoshepelychi (Template:Lang-uk; Template:Lang-ru) was a village near Pripyat, Ukraine, just south-west of the Pripyat River Basin. After the Chernobyl disaster in 1986 the village was contaminated by fallout and subsequently evacuated and is now within the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone. Village was abandoned since 2013.
History
In 11th century the village had a settlement surrounded by a rampart and a moat. L. Pokhylevych suggested that the town of Shepel (or Shopol), mentioned in the chronicle of 1098, existed here.[1]
Before the disaster, 1683 people lived here.[2]
Novoshepelychi belonged to Novoshepelychi Raion from 1923. Novoshepelychi Raion was dissolved in 1953 and village joined Chernobyl Raion. After the disaster, in 1988, the raion was dissolved and merged into the neighbouring Ivankiv Raion.[3] The raion was abolished on 18 July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Kyiv Oblast to seven. The area of Ivankiv Raion was merged into Vyshhorod Raion.[4][5]
Geography
Village was located north of Pripyat, and lies on the road between Pripyat and Mazyr. Other near settlements are the villages of Stari Shepelychi, Kosharivka and Benivka.
