Brustury (Ukrainian: Брустури; Hungarian: Brusztura), known before 2023 as Lopukhiv (Ukrainian: Лопухів), is a village in Tiachiv Raion of Zakarpattia Oblast in Ukraine.
History[edit]
The village was first mentioned in 1638, when the village was called Brusztura. It comes from the Romanian word "brustur", meaning heart-shaped comfrey. [citation needed]

On June 29, 2023, the Verkhovna Rada officially renamed the village to Brustury as part of the derussification in Ukraine.[1]
