Rivne (Template:IPAc-en; Template:Langx, {{#invoke:IPA|main}}) is a city in western Ukraine. The city is the administrative center of Rivne Oblast (province), as well as the Rivne Raion (district) within the oblast.<ref name="zakon1.rada.gov.ua">On bringing the name of Rovno city and Rovno Oblast in accordance to rules of Ukrainian spelling Template:Webarchive. Ukrainian parliament. 11 June 1991</ref> It has a population of Template:Ua-pop-est2022
In the spring of 1919, it also served as a provisional seat of the Ukrainian government throughout the ongoing war with Soviet Russia. Between World War I and World War II, the city was located in Poland as a district-level (county) seat in Wolyn Voivodeship. At the start of World War II in 1939, Rivne was occupied by the Soviet Red Army and received its current status by becoming a seat of regional government of the Rivne Oblast which was created out of the eastern portion of the voivodeship. During the German occupation of 1941–44 the city was designated as a capital of German Ukraine (Reichskommissariat Ukraine).
Rivne is an important transportation hub, with the international Rivne Airport, and rail links to Zdolbuniv, Sarny, and Kovel, as well as highways linking it with Brest, Kyiv and Lviv. Among other leading companies there is a chemical factory of Rivne-Azot (part of Ostchem Holding).

HistoryEdit
Middle AgesEdit
Rivne was first mentioned in 1283 in the Polish annals Rocznik kapituły krakowskiej<ref name=eohou>Bovhyria, A. Rivne (РІВНЕ) Template:Webarchive. Encyclopedia of History of Ukraine.</ref><ref name=ukraine-in>History of Rivne (Історія Рівне) Template:Webarchive. Ukraine-in portal.</ref> as one of the inhabited places of Halych-Volhynia near which Leszek II the Black was victorious over a part of the Grand Ducal Lithuanian Army. Following the Kingdom of Galicia–Volhynia's partition after Galicia–Volhynia Wars in the late 14th century, it was under the rule of Grand Duchy of Lithuania and in 1434 the Grand Duke of Lithuania Švitrigaila awarded the settlement to a Lutsk nobleman Dychko.<ref name=eohou /> In 1461 Dychko sold his settlement to Prince Semen Nesvizh.<ref name=eohou /><ref name=ukraine-in /> In 1479 Semen Nesvizh died and his settlement was passed to his wife Maria who started to call herself princess of Rivne.<ref name=ukraine-in /> She turned the settlement into a princely residence by building in 1481<ref name=eohou /> a castle on one of local river islands and managed to obtain Magdeburg rights for the settlement in 1492 from the King of Poland Casimir IV Jagiellon.<ref name=ukraine-in /> Following her death in 1518, the city was passed on to the princes of Ostrog and declined by losing its status as a princely residency.<ref name=eohou />
In 1566 the town of Rivne became part of newly established Volhynian Voivodeship. Following the Union of Lublin in 1569, it was transferred from the Grand Duchy of Lithuania to the Kingdom of Poland.<ref name=eohou /><ref name=ukraine-in /> The city had a status of a private town held by nobles (Ostrogski and Lubomirski families). Following the Second Partition of Poland in 1793 Rivne became a part of the Russian Empire, and in 1797 it was declared to be a county level (uyezd) town of the Volhynian Governorate.
World War IEdit
During World War I and the period of chaos shortly after, it was briefly under German, Ukrainian, Bolshevik, and Polish rule. During April–May 1919 Rivne served as the temporary capitalTemplate:Citation needed of the Ukrainian People's Republic. In late April 1919 one of the Ukrainian military leaders Volodymyr Oskilko attempted to organize a coup-d'état against the Directorate led by Symon Petliura and the cabinet of Borys Martos and replace them with Yevhen Petrushevych as president of Ukraine. In Rivne, Oskilko managed to arrest most of the cabinet ministers including Martos himself, but Petliura at that time was in neighboring Zdolbuniv and managed to stop Oskilko's efforts. At the conclusion of the conflict, in accordance with the Riga Peace Treaty of 1921, it became a part of Polish Volhynian Voivodeship, a situation which would last until the Second World War. Before World War II, Rivne (Równe) was a mainly Jewish-Polish city (Jews constituted about 50% of the city's population, and Poles 35%).
World War IIEdit
In 1939, as a result of the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact and the partition of Poland, Rivne was occupied by the Soviet Union. Starting December of that year Rivne became the center of the newly established Rivne Oblast in the Ukrainian SSR.

On 28 June 1941 Rivne was invaded by the 6th army of Nazi Germany. On 20 August, the Nazis declared it the administrative center of Reichskommissariat Ukraine. A Gestapo prison opened on Belaia Street.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>Template:Bsn Roughly half of Rivne's inhabitants were Jewish.
On 6–8 November, 17,500 Jewish adults from Rivne were shot to death or thrown alive into a large pit in a pine grove in Sosenki, a nearby wooded area (sometimes referred to as Sosenki Forest), and 6,000 Jewish children suffered the same fate at a nearby site.<ref>This Ukrainian City Was Once Home to a Vibrant Jewish Community. Now Its Grand Synagogue Is a Sports Hall, Haaretz</ref> From 8-13 November German actor Olaf Bach was flown to the city to perform for the German forces.Template:Cn The city's remaining Jews were sent to Rivne Ghetto. In July 1942, they were sent Template:Cvt north to Kostopil and shot to death.
On 2 February 1944, the city was captured by the Red Army in the Battle of Rivne, and remained under Soviet control until Ukraine regained its independence on the break-up of the USSR in 1991. Poles from Rivne were deported to Poland's new borders after 1945.
Post-war eraEdit
In 1958, a TV tower began broadcasting in the city; in 1969, the first trolley ran through the city; in 1969, Rivne airport opened. In 1983, the city celebrated its 700th anniversary.
On 11 June 1991, the Ukrainian parliament officially renamed the city Rivne according to the rules of Ukrainian orthography. It had previously been known as Rovno.<ref name="zakon1.rada.gov.ua"/>
In 1992, a Template:Convert memorial complex was established at the site of the World War II massacre to commemorate the 17,500 Jews murdered there in November 1941 during the Holocaust, marking the mass grave with an obelisk inscribed in Yiddish, Hebrew and Ukrainian.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

The other was a chemical factory and synthetic materials fabrication plant.
