Порожні хати й безлюдні вулиці: історія села Хотивель на Волині

In the early 1990s, approximately 170 people lived in the village of Khotyvel, Starovyzhivska community in Volyn. Currently, 78 are registered, and approximately 46 residents actually live there. The village has two streets, separated by a road. Until 2018, there was an elementary school, but it has now been closed. There is also no shop, and products are brought in by entrepreneurs from neighboring villages. As the village headman Mykola Yakushyk told Suspilny, the villagers grow raspberries and go to Poland to earn money.
