History

The village was first mentioned in 1864. On 25 August 1941, it was occupied by Nazi German troops, and the population that left the occupied area subsequently resisted the German army. 154 villagers received Soviet orders and medals.

Part of the former Chernobyl Raion until 1988, when it was disestablished after the 1986 nuclear accident, it is one of the few villages of this former district outside the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone.[2]
