History

The name of the city is traditionally connected with the Prince of Drevlian Mal who is mentioned in the Russian chronicles, particularly during the 945 uprising of Drevlian against Igor, the Grand Prince of Kyiv.

Malyn was mentioned as a possession of nobleman Hryńko Wnuczkiewicz during the rule of Alexander Jagiellon at the turn of the 15th and 16th centuries.[2] After his death, it passed to the Jelec family.[2] Malin was administratively located in the Kijów Voivodeship in the Lesser Poland Province of the Kingdom of Poland. In the 18th century, it passed to noblewoman Anna Krasicka née Starzechowska, mother of leading Polish Enlightenment poet Ignacy Krasicki, and the Krasickis sold it to Stanisław Kordysz, who erected a new Catholic church in 1780.[3] Following the Second Partition of Poland, the town was annexed by Russia in 1793. In 1801 it passed to the Morzkowski family, and afterwards to the Radziwiłł family.[3]

Malyn is a small homeland of Nicholas Miklouho-Maclay, an Imperial Russian traveler, for whom Malyn served a residence to maternal side of his family.

A paper mill and a tannery were founded in 1873 and 1877, respectively.[3]

On 27–28 April 1920, it was the site of a battle in which the Poles defeated the Russians and liberated the town during the Kyiv offensive and Polish–Soviet War.

During World War II, Malyn was under German occupation from 29 July 1941 until 12 November 1943.[4] It was administered as a part of the Reichskommissariat Ukraine.

On March 3, 1975, the village of Horodyshche of the Ukrainian Village Council and the southwestern part of the village of Malynivka of the Malynivka Village Council of the Malyn district were included in the city of Malyn.[5]
