Kunev Township (Kunevskoy)


Kunev Township (Kunevskoy) in 1906 included the northwestern area of the cluster of Mennonite villages lying southwest of Ostrog.  The Mennonite villages included in Kunevkoy were Karolswalde (Sloboda Galendry), Antonovka, and Mezheliski (Waldheim). 

In total, Kunevskoy included 45 settlements in 1906.  Kunev village itself was the largest community in the township with 279 households and a population of 2,845 people.  Other important villages in the township were Mezhirich and Novomalin.  Mezhirich is the site of an ancient monastery; originally Franciscan and later converted to Russian Orthodox.  In the 19th Century, as well as today, the monastery was Orthodox.  Novomalin is the site of the 14th Century castle of the noble Malin family.  The castle was beautifully refurbished in the 19th Century but stands in ruins today as a result of damage during World War II.








Here’s a listing of the Kunevskoy villages in 1906:
