Vishenka (Chernihiv Oblast, Ukraine)
Vishenka (Wischenka) is a location in the northern Ukraine about 150 miles (240 km.) northeast of Kiev, where the Hutterites who were fleeing persecution in Walachia first settled in 1770 on the estate of Count Rumjantsev. Here they lived until 1802 when they moved on to crown land at Radichev, 10 miles (16 km.) north.
