EN Historical background
The village was formed in 1907, and by 1928 it had 130 households with a population of 655, predominantly Ukrainians. In the 1920s, the village was the center of the Novo-Voznesensky rural council (which included the Danilovka hamlet), and a butter factory, a primary school, and a reading room operated here. Notable residents include MTS cleaning worker P.A. Pfeiffer and frontline soldier A.Ye. Lyashenko, author of the local history book "In the Steppe Expanses" (Na stepnykh prostorakh), who moved here in 1958. In 1968, the settlement's infrastructure was enhanced with a two-story rural house of culture.

Living culture and memory
Various club associations operate in the rural house of culture: the "Nadezhda" choir, the "Selyanochka" vocal ensemble, the "Hand Made" applied arts club, and other studios. Locals preserve the memory of the traditional Ukrainian wedding ritual, which included washing the bride, using embroidered towels (rushnyks), distributing "cone" flatbreads to guests, and playfully breaking dishes. In the village park, ecological territory cleanup campaigns (such as "We are for a clean village") are held with the participation of schoolchildren and veterans, along with commemorative rallies at the Memorial of Glory.
