several Russian air and missile strikes, such as the 2 March airstrike which damaged residential buildings, a thermal electricity plant, and two hospitals, killing at least two and injuring more than a dozen. Administrative division The city is divided into two administrative districts: Microdistrict The city of Zhytomyr contains the following areas (microdistricts): Bohunia Hydropark Hinchanka the Second Zavokzalny district Railway station area Korbutivka Kroshnia Maliovanka Marianivka Pavlykivka Putiatynka Rudnia Smokivka Smolianka Sokolova Hora Old Town Eastern microdistrict (folk name Poliova) Khmilnyki (folk name Malikova) Center Population Demographic history Roman Catholics Zhytomyr had been a Latin Catholic bishopric since 1321, until the see was suppressed in 1789 in favor of the Diocese of Lutsk and Zytomierz, until that was split up again in 1925, when it was restored as the Roman Catholic Diocese of Zhytomyr; that was formally suppressed in 1998 to establish the Diocese of Kyïv–Žytomyr, but actually the city retains the episcopal see in its Cathedral of the Holy Wisdom, while Kyiv (although first in the title and the national capital) only has a co-cathedral. The Zhytomyr cemetery was opened in 1800. At first, it served Polish nobility from Volhynia, such as the Czeczel and the Woronicz families. Later, other Catholics were buried here, including Germans, Ukrainians and Russians. In 1840, the Chapel of St. Stanislaus was built (now in ruins), and the cemetery was divided into nine districts, named after different saints. In the Soviet Union, the complex was devastated, now it is under the process of renovation. Among most famous people buried here are: Bronislaw Matyjewicz-Maciejewicz, one of the first Polish air pilots Karol Niedzialkowski - bishop of Lutsk and Zhytomir in the late 19th century Apolinary Wnukowski - Roman Catholic archbishop and scholar Juliusz Zarębski - Polish composer parents of Ignacy Jan Paderewski the family of Stanisław Moniuszko Jews in Zhytomyr Zhytomyr apparently had few Jews at the time of the Khmelnytsky Uprising (1648), but by the time it became part of Russia in 1778, it had a large Jewish community, and was a center of the Hasidic movement. Jews formed nearly one-third of the 1861 population (13,299 in 40,564); thirty years later, they had somewhat outpaced the general growth of the city, with 24,062 Jews in a total population of 69,785. By 1891 there were three large synagogues and 46 smaller batei midrash. The proportion of Jews was much lower in the surrounding district
