Chudniv (Ukrainian: Чуднів, Polish: Cudnów, Yiddish: טשודנאוו) is a city in Zhytomyr Oblast, Ukraine. It is the administrative center of the Chudniv Raion. Population: 5,794 (2013 est.)
A significant battle of the Russo-Polish War (1654-1667) was fought near the town in 1660, followed by a treaty between the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and the Cossacks, named after the city. The Jewish population was important in the town. During World War II, the Germans occupied the town and kept the Jews imprisoned in a ghetto. In 1941, they were murdered in mass executions perpetrated by an Einsatzgruppen of Germans and Ukrainian policemen.
