Podo-Kalynivka (Ukrainian: Подо-Калинівка; Russian: Подо-Калиновка) is a village in Kherson Raion (district) in Kherson Oblast of southern Ukraine, at about 40.61 kilometres (25.23 mi) east-southeast (ESE) of the centre of Kherson city. It belongs to Yuvileine rural hromada, one of the hromadas of Ukraine.
History
[edit]The village of Podo was originally founded by settlers from the village of Kozachi Laheri, and was named because of its oval-shaped depressions or lowlands.[2] The other village, Kalynivka, was founded by settlers from Velyki Kopani, and was named after the planted viburnum that was present in nearly every yard.[2] After the 1940s, the two villages were merged into Podo-Kalynivka. During the Soviet occupation, the village organized a collective farm called Kalinin (after Mikhail Kalinin), which later became the state farm "Banner of Communism".[2] It cultivated 3,800 hectares of agricultural land, and specialized in grain and dairy production.[3]
As a result of redistricting, on 17 July 2020 the village became part of the Kherson Raion.[4] Since February 2022, during the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the city has been temporarily occupied by Russian forces. In February 2024, the Armed Forces of Ukraine hit a concentration of Russian servicemen on a training grounds, during which about 60 Russians were killed.[5]
The village has a large cemetery of Soviet soldiers and a monument in honor of them.[2] In 2008, a memorial sign was created to honor the victims of the Holodomor.[2]
Demographics
[edit]As of the 2001 Ukrainian census, the settlement had 1,744 inhabitants. Their native languages were 95.20% Ukrainian, 4.35% Russian, 0.11% Belarusian and "Moldovan" (Romanian), and 0.06% Polish.[1]
