Derman -
four graves of soldiers
The village, which is known for its monastery, also has a tragic war history
Until 1939, Derman was a single village, although it was divided into
Derman manorial and state-owned. During the Second World War in 1942, a school for lieutenants of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army was opened in Derman.
In 1946, the authorities renamed the village of Derman Persha to Ustenske Pershe, and Derman Druha, corresponding to Ustenske Druhe (after the Ustia River).
However, after the collapse of the USSR, the villages regained their historical name.

Transcarpathia
Silver Land
"SILVER LAND. CHRONICLE OF CARPATHIAN UKRAINE 1919-1939"
For centuries Transcarpathia was isolated politically and culturally from other Ukrainian lands.
After the First World War, the region experienced a revival of national identity. In early 1939, when Europe was preparing for the next war, the struggle for control over the region intensified. In difficult conditions of political and military confrontation, Carpathian Ukraine was proclaimed, sowing the seeds of a future independent Ukraine.
