Lebedyn (Ukrainian: Лебедин) is a village in Cherkasy Oblast (province) of central Ukraine. Population: 4323.
Sometimes in the 15th century the village was completely wiped out by Tatar hordes.[1] The new village appeared around the St George monastery after 17th century,[1] while the monastery itself appeared in the place of the previous settlement sometime in 16th century.[2] The original residents resettled in Sloboda Ukraine where they established another Lebedyn which now is a city in Sumy Oblast.[3]
The Lebedyn monastery was one of four the most important monasteries of Ukrainian Cossacks along with Trakhtemyriv monastery, Mezhyhiria monastery, and Motrynyn monastery.[2]
