Severinovca (Moldovan Cyrillic and Russian: Севериновка, romanized: Severinovka, Ukrainian: Северинівка, romanized: Severynivka, Polish: Sewerynówka^[1]) is a village in the Camenca District of Transnistria, Moldova.^[2] It has since 1990 been administered as a part of the breakaway Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic (PMR).

History

Sewerynówka, as it was known in Polish, was a private village of the Lubomirski family, administratively located in the Bracław County in the Bracław Voivodeship in the Lesser Poland Province of the Kingdom of Poland.^[1] Following the Second Partition of Poland, it was annexed by Russia.

In 1924, it became part of the Moldavian Autonomous Oblast, which was soon converted into the Moldavian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic, and the Moldavian Soviet Socialist Republic in 1940 during World War II. From 1941 to 1944, it was administered by Romania as part of the Transnistria Governorate.

According to the 2004 census, the village's population was 757, of which 123 (16.24%) were Moldovans (Romanians), 611 (80.71%) Ukrainians and 17 (2.24%) Russians.^[3]
