Zahvizdia (Ukrainian: Загвіздя; Polish: Zagwoźdź) is a village in Ukraine, in the Ivano-Frankivsk Raion of Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast. It is the centre of the Zahvizdia rural hromada.[1]
Zahvizdia was first mentioned by Władysław II Jagiełło in a 1394 letter granting Danylo Zaderevetskyi control over several villages in Galicia.[2] According to a 1949 report by the Ministry of State Security of the Soviet Union, the Organisation of Ukrainian Nationalists was active in Zahvizdia.[3]
