In Rivne, Oskilko managed to arrest most of the cabinet ministers including Martos himself, but Petliura at that time was in neighboring Zdolbuniv and managed to stop Oskilko's efforts.

In late April 1919 one of the Ukrainian military leaders Volodymyr Oskilko attempted to organize a coup-d'état against the Directorate led by Symon Petliura and the cabinet of Borys Martos and replace them with Yevhen Petrushevych as president of Ukraine. During April–May 1919 Rivne served as the temporary capital of the Ukrainian People's Republic. Following the Second Partition of Poland in 1793 Rivne became a part of the Russian Empire, and in 1797 it was declared to be a county level ( uyezd) town of the Volhynian Governorate.ĭuring World War I and the period of chaos shortly after, it was briefly under German, Ukrainian, Bolshevik and Polish rule. The city had a status of privately held by nobles ( Ostrogski and Lubomirski families). Following the Union of Lublin in 1569, it was transferred from the realm of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania to the Crown of Poland. In 1566 the town of Rivne became part of newly established Volhynian Voivodeship. Following her death in 1518, the city was passed on to the princes of Ostrog and declined by losing its status as a princely residency. She turned the settlement into a princely residence by building in 1481 a castle on one of local river islands and managed to obtain Magdeburg rights for the settlement in 1492 from the King of Poland Casimir IV Jagiellon. In 1479 Semen Nesvizh died and his settlement was passed to his wife Maria who started to call herself princess of Rivne. In 1461 Dychko sold his settlement to Prince Semen Nesvizh. Following the Kingdom of Galicia–Volhynia's partition after Galicia–Volhynia Wars in the late 14th century, it was under the rule of Grand Duchy of Lithuania and in 1434 the Grand Duke of Lithuania Švitrigaila awarded the settlement to a Lutsk nobleman Dychko. Rivne was first mentioned in 1283 in the Polish annals "Rocznik kapituły krakowskiej" as one of the inhabited places of Halych-Volhynia near which Leszek II the Black was victorious over a part of the Grand Ducal Lithuanian Army. Among other leading companies there is a chemical factory of Rivne-Azot (part of Ostchem Holding). Rivne is an important transportation hub, with the international Rivne Airport, and rail links to Zdolbuniv, Sarny, and Kovel, as well as highways linking it with Brest, Kyiv and Lviv. In the spring of 1919, it also served as a provisional seat of the Ukrainian government throughout the ongoing war with Soviet Russia. During the German occupation of 1941–44 the city was designated as a capital of German Ukraine ( Reichskommissariat Ukraine). At the start of World War II in 1939, Rivne was occupied by the Soviet Red Army and received its current status by becoming a seat of regional government of the Rivne Oblast which was created out of the eastern portion of the voivodeship.

Population: 245,289 (2021 est.) īetween World War I and World War II, the city was located in Poland as a district-level (county) seat in Wolyn Voivodeship.

Administratively, Rivne is incorporated as a city of oblast significance and does not belong to the raion. The city is the administrative center of Rivne Oblast ( province), as well as the surrounding Rivne Raion ( district created in the USSR) within the oblast.
