The first record about Stolin dates near 1555 . Stolin grew up at the heart of the Polesia region on the river Haryń , at the crossroads of three important routes, one leading northwards to Pinsk , two others eastwards to Davyd-Haradok and Turaŭ , that are now in Belarus , southwards to Sarny and Kyiv , that are now in Ukraine . Nowadays Stolin is the center of the largest district in Brest Voblast . Population of Stolin is 12.5 thousand people ( 2002 ). The Belarusian-Ukrainian border is about 15 km away, so Stolin is now a border city that hosts a lot of Ukrainians on the market days. Russian speech is common here, but villagers prefer their dialects that are numerous and akin partly to the Belarusian Language , partly the Ukrainian Language .
