History
Prechystivka is one of the 40 state-owned settlements established by state peasants, Ukrainian Cossacks, townspeople, and military settlers from Chernigov, Kharkiv, and Poltava Governorates, as well as western landowners (predominantly from Kyiv Governorate) in the early 1840s in the eastern part of Alexandrovsky District of Yekaterinoslav Governorate (now part of the modern Donetsk Oblast).[1]
In early September 2024, Russian forces launched an attack on Prechystivka, and by 5 September, Russian forces were confirmed to have captured the village.[2]
