History

edit

There are numerous burial mounds in the area around Kinski Rozdory, including one from the Sarmatian civilization that may date from the 2nd century BC to the 2nd century AD.[3]

Kinski Rozdory was founded in 1771 as a military settlement. The population grew with an influx of migrants from other parts of what is now Ukraine. During World War II, Kinski Rozdory was occupied by Nazi Germany. 267 Red Army soldiers died to liberate the village. A monument was later built to them.[3]

As a result of the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Kinski Rozdory was occupied by the Russian Federation.[2] In June 2022, a goat set off multiple mines in the village, injuring Russian soldiers nearby.[4]
