Guyna (agro-town)

Gayna is located 10 km northwest of the district center, the city of Logoisk . The village is located on the Minsk Upland , on the watershed of the Black and Baltic Seas - the Gayna River ( Dnieper Basin) begins near the village, several small tributaries of the Iliya River ( Neman Basin) start to the northwest. Highway P66 passes through the agro-town on the Logoysk - Lukovets section, a road branches off from the highway towards the village of Domashi .

The most probable is the origin of the toponym “Gayna” from the Belarusian word “gai” (grove), less likely to be compared with the verb “gait” (defend, defend). The Belarusian word Gayna passed into Lithuanian as Aina (the initial “g” usually disappears with such assimilation) ^[2] , which gives reason to some researchers to ascribe to the toponym Lithuanian origin (from ainis - grandson or ainija - offspring).

Gayna is one of the most ancient settlements of the Logoisk region ^[3] . The Catholic parish in Hain is the oldest in the territory of the modern Minsk region, it was founded in 1387 by King Jagiello among the first seven Catholic parishes in the territory of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania ^[4] .

Gayna is mentioned by the historian of the 15th century, Jan Dlugosh among the possessions of the great princes, was part of the Logoisk principality . Since 1560 it has the status of a small town , the center of the Gaynensky elder. As a result of the administrative-territorial reform in the GDL of the middle of the 16th century, the settlement became part of the Minsk district of the Minsk region ^[5] .

In 1545, the Orthodox Church of St. Michael the Archangel was mentioned, when, according to the annals, Prince Ivan Solomeretsky appointed a priest here. In 1604, the Orthodox population of Guyna was annexed to Greek Catholics ^[3] . The wooden Catholic church, built back in the 14th century, was repeatedly rebuilt on the same site until the end of the 18th century until a stone Catholic church was built in 1781-1788, consecrated in the name of the Assumption (Ascension) of the Blessed Virgin Mary ^[4] .

As a result of the second division of the Commonwealth (1793), Guyna became part of the Russian Empire; in Dokshitsky , and since 1796 in Borisov district ^[5] .

In 1846, a new Orthodox wooden St. Michael's Church was built, in 1863 a public school was opened. In 1867, after the suppression of the uprising of 1863, the Russian authorities transferred the Assumption Catholic Church to the Orthodox, the Catholics only had a chapel in the cemetery ^[4] . In 1891, a milling and cereal enterprise began to operate.

In 1919, Gayna entered the BSSR , where on August 20, 1924 she became the center of the village council. In the 30s the Assumption Church was closed, during the Great Patriotic War the building was completely destroyed ^{[4] [3]} . In 1970, the village totaled 256 yards and 915 residents, in 1992 - 214 yards and 792 residents ^[5] .

In 1996, a Catholic cross was erected and consecrated on the site of the former Assumption Church ^[4] . In 2002, a new Orthodox church was built and consecrated, which received the name of the historical church - St. Michael the Archangel ^[3]

In Haine, the Slavologist Zorian Dolenga-Khodakovsky (1784-1825) was born.
