Blahodatne (Ukrainian: Благодатне), formerly Gnadenfeld (Ukrainian: Ґнаденфельд), is a village in southern Ukraine, in Vysokopillia settlement hromada, Beryslav Raion, Kherson Oblast.[1] Its population is 55.[2]
History
The village was founded in 1877.[3] It was originally named after the Molotschna colony of Gnadenfeld.[3] Many people came from the Mennonite congregations of Tiege.[3] On 7 November 1917 in accordance with the Third Universal of the Ukrainian Central Rada the village became part of the Ukrainian People's Republic.[4] Prior to this, it was part of the Kherson Governorate in the Kherson uezd of the Russian Empire.[3] When the Soviets took over in 1918, it became part of the Mykolaiv Oblast as part of a German district.[3] During the Great Patriotic War, many residents were deported due to either the Holocaust by the Germans or the Mennonite Germans that resided in the village by the Soviets.[3]
Until 17 July 2020, it was located in Vysokopillia Raion, when that raion was abolished and its territory merged into Beryslav Raion.[5] In November 2022 the village was liberated by Ukrainian forces during the 2022 Kherson counteroffensive under the 59th Assault Brigade and the 9th Unmanned Systems Brigade.[6] However, it continues to be the target of shelling by Russian forces, especially in February 2024.[7]
