Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: NUM-ORC
NYEZHIN or NEZHIN, a town of
Russia
 , in the government of
Chernigov
 , 62 m. by
rail
  S.E. of the town of
Chernigov
  and 79 M. N.E. of Kiev, on the railway between Kursk and Kiev. The old town is built on the left bank of the (canalized) river Oster, and its suburbs, Novoye-Myesto and Magerki, on the right. It has an old
cathedral
 , a technical school and a former high school (lyceum of Bezborodko, at which N. V. Gogol, the novelist, was a student), now transformed into a philological institute. The inhabitants (33,000), are mostly Little-Russians and
Jews
 ; there are also some Greeks, descendants of those who immigrated in the 17th
century
  at the invitation of the Cossack chieftain Bogdan Chmielnicki.
Unyezh, which is supposed to have been the former name of Nyezhin, is mentioned as early as 1147. At that time it belonged to the principality of Chernigov; afterwards it fell under the
rule
  of Poland. It was ceded to
Russia
  about 1500, but again became a
Polish
  possession after the treaty of Deulina (1619) between Poland and Russia. In 1649, after the revolt of Little Russia and its liberation from the
Polish
 
rule
 , Nyezhin was the
chief
  town of one of the most important Cossack regiments. It was annexed to Russia in 1664.
