→top: In the sentence beginning with "The city has seen continued conflict" and ending with "sustained during the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022." (which is now the last sentence of the lede in this article ... just before the start of the "Name" section), insert the word "[beginning]" -- in square brackets -- before "in 2022". Explanation: While the "Russian invasion of Ukraine" did begin in 2022, the resulting military conflict has continued for (a plural number of) years. |

'''Berdychiv''' ({{lang-uk|Бердичів}}, {{IPA|uk|berˈdɪt͡ʃ⁽ʲ⁾iu̯|IPA|audio=Uk-Бердичів.ogg}}) is a historic city in [[Zhytomyr Oblast]], northern [[Ukraine]]. It serves as the [[administrative center]] of [[Berdychiv Raion]] within the oblast. It is {{convert|44|km|mi|abbr=on}} south of the administrative center of the oblast, [[Zhytomyr]]. Its population is approximately {{Ua-pop-est2022|73,046|.}}
The area has seen various cultural influences and political changes over time, from its early settlement by the [[Chernyakhov culture]] to its position within the [[Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth]] and later, the [[Russian Empire]]. Berdychiv was an important trading and banking center in its heyday, but the town became impoverished after the banking industry moved to [[Odesa]] in the mid-19th century. Berdychiv was also a significant center of Jewish history, with a large Jewish population and an important role in the development of Hasidism. However, during [[World War II]], the Nazis brutally massacred thousands of Jews in Berdychiv. The city has seen continued conflict, with damage sustained during the [[Russian invasion of Ukraine]] [beginning] in 2022.
