Myroliubivka (Ukrainian: Миролю́бівка, pronounced [mɪroˈlʲubiu̯kɐ]) is a village in Beryslav Raion, Ukraine.
History
The village was founded in 1828 as Mala Vorontsovka by the serfs of the landowner family of Vorontsov.[1] Most of the villagers came from Mogilev, Saratov, and Voronezh.[1] During the Russian Empire it was part of the Kherson Governorate in the Novovorontsovka parish.[1] In 1917, it was renamed to Ivanovka due to communization after the Soviet Union took control.[1] After they took control, it became part of the Mykolaiv Oblast, and later the Odessa Oblast.[1] In 1922, a local Komsomol branch was organized in the village, and a village council of poor peasants was created.[1] In 1925, the societies for joint cultivation of the land "Progress" and "Renaissance" were created in the village.[1] They were later merged in 1929 to form the collective farm "Harvest".[1]
During the Great Patriotic War, the village was occupied by German troops from 21 August 1941 to 27 February 1944.[1] Later on, in 1949, the collective farms on the territory of the village merged into one called Chapaev.[1] Chapaev managed 5,300 hectares of agricultural land and specialized in grain production.[2] In 1964, the village was finally renamed to its current name, from Ivanovka to Myroliubivka.[1]
Russo-Ukraine War
In March 2022, as a result of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, Russia began its occupation of the village. However, Ukraine performed a counteroffensive in early October 2022. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced that the armed forces of Ukraine (AFU) liberated the village on 2 October 2022.[3][4]
