[1] The village is on the main road from Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky and Sokoch to Ganalyru, Atlasovoru and the Ust-Kamchatsky District.

He said it had five or six huts and 15 sheds, on the bank of the Bystraya River, surrounded by high mountains, with a hot spring nearby.

In 1811 Captain Vasily Golovnin reported that the inhabitants were occupied in trapping sables in the winter.

[1] Karl von Ditmar (1822–1892) visited Malka several times in the 1850s, and considered it one the largest and most prosperous villages in Kamchatka, although it only had 12 houses.

The village belonged to the Bolsheretsk parish, but due to the distance the priest rarely visited.

[1] During the Russian Civil War (1917–1922) the inhabitants of Malka were seen as reactionaries by the communists, but were spared violence.

[1] In July 1924 the local Kamchatka historian Prokopiy Trifonovich Novograblenov (1892–1934) described the village in the report to the Russian Geographical Society.

The rapid and powerful Bystraya River threatened to wash away the island on which the western part of Malka was located.

There had been a failure of fish income the previous year, and as a result 75% of the sled dogs and almost 50% of the livestock had died.

Nearby was a good, spacious log house with an iron roof, started as a post office but never finished.

Semenov described Malka at the end of the 1960s as a tiny village of several rickety little houses that were blackened by time.

In the 1980s there was a canteen in Malka to serve travelers and long-distance truck drivers transporting lumber from Atlasovo.
