Bilohorodka (Ukrainian: Білогородка) is a city in Bucha Raion, Kyiv Oblast of north Ukraine. It hosts the administration of Bilohorodka rural hromada, one of the hromadas of Ukraine,[1] formed on 12 June 12 2020 and including nine neighbouring villages: Bobrytsia, Horenytsia, Myzychi, Sviatopetrivske, Hnativka, Stoianka, Shevchenko, Nehrashi, and Luka.[2]

One of the nine component villages, Hnativka, is perhaps better known by its Hebrew and Yiddish name Anatevka, and is the site of a modern-day refugee village which was named after the fictional town of Anatevka from the Sholem Aleichem stories, including Fiddler on the Roof, stories which were set in this same area of the former Kiev Gubernia.
