The village was founded by Serbian immigrants in the middle of the 18th century, probably from the Serbian village of Moshoryn, and they named the local river Beshka, probably after the village of Beshka in Serbia, where the immigrants could have come from.

In 1772 there were 121 houses.

In 1886, there were 3359 inhabitants in 536 farm households; there were an Orthodox church, a school, and 9 stores.

During the Holodomor of 1932–1933, at least 26 villagers died. According to the recollections of a local resident, Olena Yermolenko (1913-2002): "Every day in 1933, on my way home from work, I saw people lying by the road from the collective farm, from whom the Soviet soldiers had taken their last bread: adults, old people, children: after a long period of starvation, their bellies had swelled and cracked, and liquid flowed from the cracks. They suffered for several weeks, their bodies were secretly buried outside the village. Several hundred other families in Moshoryne, who owned their own farms, were recognized by the government as "kurkuls" and were imprisoned or shot".^[2]

In 1943, during the battles of the World War II, according to the recollections of Olena Yermolenko (1913-2002), "cows stood in blood up to the level of their bellies" (the entire surrounding area was smeared with human blood). Also here was born Lukia Stachenko (1879-1973), a fighter who helped the Soviet partisans during the German occupation.^[3]
