History
In 1776, next to the estate of the general of the Ottoman army, Kara Mahmet (Ottoman Turkish: Kara Mehmet), on the bank of the Techia stream, the first Ukrainian settlement [fr] appeared, founded by Cossack families from Zaporozhian Sich. 23 April [O.S. 12 April] 1790, the settlement was transformed into sloboda. In 1812, following the Treaty of Bucharest, became part the Bessarabian Oblast of the Russian Empire. In 1856, according to the results of the Treaty of Paris, village became part of states under Ottoman Empire suzerainty: Principality of Moldavia (1856–1859), United Principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia (1859–1862), Romanian United Principalities (1862–1866), Principality of Romania (1866–1878). Sloboda became a village and labor obligations and taxes were introduced for the inhabitants. In 1878, according to the Treaty of Berlin, the village returned to the Bessarabia Governorate of the Russian Empire, and the Principality of Romania gained its independence. In 1917, after the collapse of the Russian Empire, the village became part of the self-proclaimed Moldavian Democratic Republic, formed in the former Bessarabia Governorate. In 1918, the Kingdom of Romania introduced romanian troops into the Bessarabia Governorate (including the village) and the decision was made to join Bessarabia to the Kingdom of Romania. In 1940, according to the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact, the Soviet Union annexed Bessarabia to the USSR, and the village belonged to the Ukrainian SSR. 1941, after the start of Operation Barbarossa by the fascists, the village is under the occupation of the Kingdom of Romania. In 1944, during the second Jassy–Kishinev offensive, the Soviet Army liberated the village from the fascists, and in 14 November 1945 it was renamed Shevchenkove. In 1991, after the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the village became part of Ukraine.
