Maniava or Manyava (Ukrainian: Манява, Polish: Maniawa) is a village of about 3,500 people located on the banks of the Maniavka River in Ivano-Frankivsk Raion, Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast of Western Ukraine. It is situated in the Ukrainian Carpathian Mountains. Maniava belongs to Solotvyn settlement hromada, one of the hromadas of Ukraine.

Why this record matters
“Maniava” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Maniava, village and Bohorodchany provides the most credible route into that argument.
The strongest evidence will usually combine a dated visual record with documents produced by the authority responsible for the place. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 28, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q4280975. VIAF identifies the subject as 123192482. The Library of Congress control number is n83064055. Authority coordinates are 48.654, 24.370. 1 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2020.
Architectural summaries often privilege surviving fabric and can understate demolished phases, contested use or displaced communities. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
