History

Podświle, as it was known in Polish, was part of Poland in the interwar period. According to the 1921 census, the population was 44.4% Belarusian, 43.2% Polish, and 12.3% Jewish.[3]

During World War II, the town was first occupied by the Soviet Union until 1941, then by Nazi Germany until 1944, and re-occupied by the Soviet Union afterwards, which eventually annexed it from Poland in 1945.
