Variazh (Template:Lang-uk; Template:Lang-pl) is a former city (currently a village) in the Sokal Raion (district) of Lviv Oblast (province) in western Ukraine. Its population is 888 as of the 2001 Ukrainian Census.[2] The village is located close to the border with Poland, near the Polish village of Uśmierz.[3]

The first written documents date the settlement back to in 1419 as Waręż.[3] In 1538, the settlement was granted the Magdeburg rights.[3][4] Waręż had a significant population of Jews living in the city: in 1880, there were 880 Jews; in 1900, there were 964 Jews; in 1921, there were 520 Jews. During the Holocaust, Waręż's entire Jewish population was killed.[5]

Until the Soviet invasion of Poland in 1939, Waręż was a part of the Polish Lwów Voivodeship (Sokal County) and – since 1934 – seat of the Gmina Waręż, a rural administrative district of Poland[6] (Waręż does not appear on lists of towns since at least 1931,[7][8][9] and prior to this it only had market town status (miasteczko), which was considered a rural unit in an administrative sense[10]).

During the war, the settlement became a part of the Hrubieszów County,[11] which after the war returned to the Lublin Voivodeship. During the 1951 Polish–Soviet territorial exchange, Waręż along with most of the pre-war Sokal County was transferred from the People's Republic of Poland to the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic.[12] There, the settlement was renamed to Novoukrainka (Template:Lang-uk),[2] a name which it kept until 1989 when it was reverted to its original—albeit Ukrainian variant of the name, "Variazh."
