About
Snovsk is a town by the Snov River in Chernihiv Oblast, northern Ukraine. It developed as a railway settlement and regained its earlier name after decades of being called Shchors.
Notes
Snovsk restored in 2016 after the Soviet name Shchors, used from 1935. The older railway settlement was called Korzhivka. Sources distinguish the settlement from its station. Formal romanization variants are search aids and do not establish common usage in either language.
