Severivka (Ukrainian: Северівка) - is a former village in Ukraine. It is located in the Korosten Raion of the Zhytomyr Oblast and was subordinated to the Lyubar village council. Due to radioactive contamination as a result of the Chernobyl disaster[1] in 1986, all the residents were evicted. In 1981, 80 people lived in Severovka.[2] On 27 June 1996, Severivka was deregistered by the Zhytomyr Oblast Council. Almost all the buildings in the village are collapsed now, there are no residents. The average radiation background in the Severivka is about 50-60 usv/hr. On 2 May 2018, a memorial plaque "Severivka is our native village" was installed by former villagers.
