Subottsi (Ukrainian: Суботці) is a village in Kropyvnytskyi Raion, Kirovohrad Oblast, central Ukraine.

[1] These lands were under the rule of the Ukrainian Cossacks of Hetmanate and Zaporozhian Sich from XV to XVIII century.

[2][3][4] The village has its origins in a military settlement founded by Serb soldier migrants on the right bank of the Adzhamka river in 1753 as part of the New Serbia colony in Imperial Russia.

The Serbs had hostile relations with the local existing population, who saw the soldiers as a threat to their cultural identity.

[6] During World War II, the invading armies of Nazi Germany, regionally led by Paul Ludwig Ewald von Kleist occupied Subottsi on 5 August 1941.
