Geography
The village is located on the Arabat Spit, 5 km south of Henichesk and 3 km north of the village of Shchaslyvtseve.
History
At least 3 villagers died during the Holodomor of 1932-1933 organized by the Soviet authorities.
On June 12, 2020, according to the Order of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine No. 726-r "On the determination of administrative centers and approval of territories of territorial communities of the Kherson Oblast", it became part of the Henichesk urban hromada.[3]
On July 17, 2020, as a result of the administrative-territorial reform and liquidation of the former Henichesk Raion, it became part of the newly formed Henichesk Raion.[4]
On February 24, 2022, the village was temporarily occupied by Russian troops during the Russian-Ukrainian war.[5]
Monuments
There is a Church of St. George the Victorious, which was built in 2009 on the patronage of the family of businessman Astafurov Valentin Mikhailovich, a native of Henichesk, and consecrated by Bishop Joasaph of the Diocese of Nova Kakhovka on the feast of the Holy Kazan Icon of the Mother of God.[6][7] It is located in the highest point of the village, and next to it is the memorial complex for the defenders of the Arabat Spit during World War II.[6] In October 2016 the church underwent repair, particularly of its external walls which were re-painted from cream to a dark blood-red in reference to the ongoing situation in Ukraine.[6]
