Marianske, Dnipropetrovsk Oblast

Marianske (Ukrainian: Мар'янське) is a village located in Kryvyi Rih Raion of Dnipropetrovsk Oblast.

It is known that in November 1905, the peasants, gathered at the meeting, demanded that local authorities increase land plots, allow free fishing.

These demands were not satisfied, and for an anti-government protest against the "existing order" a state fine was imposed on the peasants.

After the February Revolution in Petrograd in 1917, the village community made demands to take land from landowners and wealthy peasants.

At the same time, the Council of Peasant Deputies was elected in Marianske, which included S. I. Kalchenko, V. I. Mikhno, A. V. Katran, M. S. Nedrenko, headed by G. I. Tkalich.

After the end of the Austro-German occupation, the village was occupied by the troops of Symon Petliura, but in early 1919 Marianske came under the control of the Red Army.

In the autumn of 1920, Marianske and the surrounding settlements were the site of battles of the Red Army against the troops of Peter Wrangel.

On October 14, in the area of Marianske, Grushivka and the Tik station, the troops of the Southern Front under the command of Mikhail Frunze defeated three cavalry and two infantry divisions of Peter Wrangel.

During the continuous collectivization in Marianske, 7 agricultural artels were organized on the basis of the commune and societies for joint cultivation of land.

Instead of clay huts with thatched roofs, collective farmers built new houses covered with iron and tiles.

[16][circular reference] The population was severely damaged during the temporary occupation of the village by German troops - from August 17, 1941, to February 16, 1944.

Several collective farm activists — S. Kudrenko, O. Zaskalko, A. Shemet, D. Suprun, V. Nestroinyi, V. Serdiuk and others — were shot.

In the spring of 1942, a specially sent parachute group shot the Hero of the Soviet Union, Lieutenant of the Tank Forces, Makar Tkachev for his transition to the German police.

On February 11, 1944, the 179th regiment of the 59th Rifle Kramatorsk Order of Suvorov of the Division of the Third Ukrainian Front advanced in the direction of Marianske to cut the highway to Novovorontsovka.

A water supply system has been laid in the village, a filtration station with a capacity of 4.5 thousand tons has begun to operate.

Russian forces apparently fired on a territorial defense checkpoint near Marianske, but did not storm the position.
