Havrylivka (Ukrainian:Гаврилівка; Russian:Гавриловка) is a village inBeryslav Raion (district) inKherson Oblast of southernUkraine, at about 116.1 kilometres (72.1 mi) northeast by east (NEbE) of the centre ofKherson city, on the right (western) bank of theDnipro river. It belongs to Novooleksandrivka ruralhromada, one of thehromadas of Ukraine.
Havrylivka was founded in 1780 as the estate of the Russian poetGavrila Derzhavin.[2] The land was granted to him byCatherine II of Russia.[2] In 1861, after the peasants were released fromserfdom, Derzhavin sold the land to theFalz-Fein family.[2] Friedrich von Falz-Fein, the original landowner, released the peasants to freedom soon after.[2] In 1864, the village was moved slightly to the south.[2] The village was later renamed to Falz-Feynovo in the early 1900s, but the Falz-Fein decided to rename the village again due toWorld War I and the subsequent anti-German sentiments to Derhavino, after the original poet.[2] Sometime later the village name was restored to the original Havrylivka.[2]
In January 1918, the Soviet Union started occupying the village, and a council of peasant deputies was formed.[2] Soviet power was formally established at the end of 1919.[2] During 1928-1929 the small peasant farms were united into collectives, which became the collective farm "Avangard", and in 1932 the collective farm "Comintern" was also started in the village.[2] These two collective farms merged in 1950 to form "Path to Communism", and in the same year the village of Smilnyk was relocated to be merged into the village.[2] The "Path to Communism" farm managed 3,300 hectares of agricultural land and specialized in grain crops and meat-dairy production.[3]
The settlement came underattack byRussian forces during theRussian invasion of Ukraine in 2022and was regained byUkrainian forces in the beginning of October the same year.[4]
The settlement had 1,487 inhabitants in 2001, native language distribution as of theUkrainian Census of the same year:[1]
Ukrainian forces continued to advance south in the direction of Nova Kakhovka, and geolocated footage showed that they liberated Mykhailivka, Havrylivka, and Novooleksandrivka along the T0403.
