==== Hasidic Jewish dynasty of Chernobyl ====
In the second half of the 18th century, Chernobyl became a major centre of [[Hasidic Judaism]]. The [[Chernobyl (Hasidic dynasty)|Chernobyl Hasidic dynasty]] had been founded by Rabbi [[Menachem Nachum Twersky]]. The Jewish population suffered greatly from [[pogrom]]s in October 1905 and in March–April 1919; many Jews were killed or robbed at the instigation of the Russian nationalist [[Black Hundreds]]. When the Twersky Dynasty left Chernobyl in 1920, it ceased to exist as a center of Hasidism.

Chernobyl had a population of 10,800 in 1898, including 7,200 [[Jews]]. In the beginning of March 1918<ref name=hcvu/> Chernobyl was occupied in [[World War I]] by German forces in accordance with the [[Treaty of Brest-Litovsk]]<ref name="ND" />
