As evidenced by the protocol of the "General meeting of citizens of the village of Maksimovka from September 20, 1924".

And already in 1931, a collective farm named after Lenin was organized, which included peasants from the villages of Kiselivka and Maksimovka.

The collective farmers of the village of Maksymivka survived the terrible tragedy of the Holodomor of 1932–1933.

Maria Petrovna Moiseenko recalls: "in order to survive, they went to steal corn, and then they ground it on millstones and cooked porridge.

Shvets Evdokia Gerasimovna said that "We went to the hamlet, exchanged earrings and wedding rings for products.

Tkachenko Elena Alexandrovna (born in 1905): "In order not to die of hunger, they ate nuts, drums, dogs, hedgehogs, beets.

They collected seeds from the birch tree, ground them on millstones, and then baked cakes."

On March 13–14, 1944, retreating under the onslaught of the Soviet army, the Nazis shot and then burned 68 villagers.

Here is what Maria Petrovna, a teacher of the Maksymivska school, who witnessed these events, told about this: "On March 10, the Germans began to expel people from Maksymivka.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, a German tank approached from the direction of Kyselivka and fired three shots at Maksimovka.

In the distance, in the direction of the third department of the state farm "Krasnoye Znamya" (now the village of Vasylky), several horsemen appeared.

Under her house sat a shot pregnant woman, Avramenko Halyna Yevdokymivna.

These were residents of the village of Maksymivka, evacuated families from Kherson and one unidentified person.

The village suffered greatly and most of the population fled leaving less than 24 people to stay.
