Solonka, Ukraine

Solonka was first mentioned in the 15th century. There was an anti-serfdom uprising led by peasants in the village during the 16th century. Following the Soviet annexation of Eastern Galicia and Volhynia in 1939, a sovkhoz was established in the village under the name "Victory".^[2]

Solonka is home to multiple churches, belonging to both the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church (such as the 2011 Church of the Holy Trinity)^[3] and the Orthodox Church of Ukraine (including the 1939 Church of the Nativity of the Holy Virgin Mary).^[4] One such Orthodox church in the village, the Church of the Transfiguration of the Lord, was consecrated by Metropolitan Epiphanius I in 2022.^[5]
