KHOTIN, or KHOTEEN (variously written Khochim, Choczim, and Chocim)

This article appears in Volume V15, Page 781 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: KHA-KRI
KHOTIN, or KHOTEEN (variously written Khochim, Choczim, and Chocim) , a fortified town of
South
 
Russia
 , in the government of
Bessarabia
 , in 48 30' N. and 26 30' E., on the right bank of the Dniester, near the Austrian (Galician) frontier, and opposite Podolian Kamenets. Pop. (1897), 18,126. It possesses a few manufactures (
leather
 , candles, beer, shoes, bricks), and carries on a considerable
trade
 , but has always been of importance mainly as a military post, defending one of the most frequented passages of the Dniester. In the middle ages it was the seat of a Genoese colony; and it has been in
Polish
 , Turkish and Austrian possession. The
chief
  events in its annals are the defeat of the Turks in 1621 by Ladislaus IV., of Poland, in 1673 by John Sobieski, of Poland, and in 1739 by the Russians under Miinnich; the defeat of the Russians by the Turks in 1768; the capture by the Russians in 1769, and by the Austrians in 1788; and the occupation by the Russians in 18o6. It finally passed to
Russia
  with
Bessarabia
  in 1812 by the peace of
Bucharest
 .
