Novovorontsovka

[5] The violence of the civil war and the tragedies of the revolution caused immense suffering for the Jews of Novovorontsovka.

The bulk of Jews migrated from Novovorontsovka to larger cities during the 1920s and 1930s in pursuit of employment and educational possibilities.

[3] On August 18, 1941, during World War II, German forces seized control of Novovorontsovka.

[4] The economy of the town was heavily destroyed by the end of the Nazi occupation, but it was slowly rebuilt.

[11][12] Novovorontsovka was constantly shelled by Russian forces as it sat near the frontline for some time before the 2022 Kherson counteroffensive.

The local leadership fled the town, and much of the residents lost electricity and running water due to destruction of infrastructure.

On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Novovorontsovka became a rural settlement.

Ethnically, the town is mostly Ukrainians (93%), with small minorities of Russians (4%), Belarusians (1.6%), Moldovans, Armenians, and Jews.
