About
Podilsk is a city in northern Odesa Oblast in southwestern Ukraine. It is a railway centre whose growth followed the development of lines across the Podolian borderlands.
Notes
Birzula became Kotovsk in 1935; Kotovsk became Podilsk in 2016. Several unrelated places have used Kotovsk, so the Odesa location matters.
