LUTSK (Polish, Luck) , a town of southern
Russia
 , in the government of
Volhynia
 , on the Styr, 51 m. by
rail
  N.W. of Kovel. Pop. (1900) 17,701. It is supposed to have been founded in the 7th
century
 ; in the 11th
century
  it was known as Luchesk, and was the
chief
  town of an independent principality. In the 15th century it was the seat of a
bishop
  and became wealthy, but during the wars between
Russia
  and Poland in the second half of the 16th century, and especially after the extermination of its 40,000 inhabitants, it lost its importance. In 1791 it was taken by Russia. Its inhabitants, many of them
Jews
 , live mainly by shipping goods on the Styr. Among its buildings is a 16th-century castle.
