Sokilnyky, Lviv Oblast

Sokilnyky was first mentioned in 1397.^[2] A Sokilnyky Raion, of which Sokilnyky was the capital, briefly existed between the Soviet annexation of Eastern Galicia and Volhynia and Operation Barbarossa.^[3]

The village has been a de facto suburb of the city of Lviv since the 1970s, and many people travel between Sokilnyky and Lviv for work purposes. The village's transition from communism to capitalism in the 1990s has been described as "exemplary" by the left-wing Ukrainian media portal Commons.^[4] A logistics centre for the Epicentr K chain of stores was under construction in the village as of December 2020.^[5]
