History

Korovyntsi was first mentioned at some point in the 17th century. It was occupied by the Red Army in January 1918 during the Ukrainian–Soviet War.^[2] The village was also the location of battles between the Red Army and Nestor Makhno's Revolutionary Insurgent Army of Ukraine.^[3]

During the Russian invasion of Ukraine, an underground network of Ukrainian partisans fought against Russian military forces.^[4] A "green corridor" for refugees was also planned to go through the village during the invasion.^[5]

Vyshyvankas from Korovyntsi are notable for their unique floral patterns on the sleeves of the vyshyvanka.^[6]
