The settlement was founded by the Don Cossacks in the first half of the 17th century.
The village was occupied by pro-Russian troops in the spring of 2014. On 11 July 2014 Ukrainian troops took the village under their control and set up a checkpoint near the bridge over the river.[1] The bridge was blown up on 3 September 2014.[2] The war has brought along both civilian and military casualties.[3][4] With the beginning of the Russian offensive on Ukraine (2022), the city quickly fell into the hands of the invaders and was captured by Russian troops at the beginning of the offensive itself .
