History
The villages of Maly Matis and Bolshoy Matis appeared, apparently, in the 1930s, as in the List of settlements of the Crimean Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic in the Soviet Union of 17 December 1926.
In 1915, the two villages were listed in the Statistical Handbook of the Taurida Governorate as part of the Tabuldy Parish in the Simferopol Raion. According to the book, the settlements featured a Crimea German farm, and counted a population of 36 people, including 8 ethnic Germans. In 1926, the village had a population of 17 people, out of whom 8 were Germans, 7 Russians and 2 Ukrainians.[3] Following the end of the Second World War, the population grew rapidly, when over 300 ethnic Ukrainian (from various oblasts of Mainland Ukraine) and Russian (from the Tambov Oblast) families were settled in the vicinity of the two villages.[4] By the decree of the Presidium of USSR in RSFSR of 18 May 1948, the villages of Malyi Matis and Velykyi Matis ceased to exist and were merged into a single settlement under the name of Drofino. The village was subsequently put under the jurisdiction of the Nyzhnohirskyi Raion. On 30 September 1966 the village became centre of the village council.[5]
