History
Husakove was first mentioned in the mid-18th century. 315 local inhabitants, of whom 158 were killed, joined the Red Army during World War II; a monument to those killed was later erected.[2] The family of Viacheslav Chornovil also briefly lived in the village during the war.[3]
Husakove's local school was threatened with closure in 2016 due to a lack of funding. Local residents protested the proposal, arguing that it would lead to the village becoming abandoned. Protesters briefly blocked Highway H16 as part of the protest.[4]
A local protected area is dedicated to the study of entomology.[5]
