During World War II the village shared the history of nearby city of Lwów : it was first annexed by the Soviet Union as part of its pact with Nazi Germany , then captured by the Nazis during the Operation Barbarossa . Although far from Ukrainian-populated areas , the village was targeted by the Ukrainian Insurgent Army raids during the Massacres of Poles in Volhynia and Eastern Galicia , which started an exodus of local inhabitants . In 1945 most remaining Poles are forcibly evicted and resettled further west , while the village was repopulated with Ukrainians
