Background

Mostovka village came into existence in 1930 as a place for dekulakized peasant families, forcibly resettled from various regions of Ukraine, Belorussia and Central Russia as part of the collectivisation of agriculture.

A working village graveyard is today located where the forced settlers were buried. The area of earlier burials has partially been lost; individual graves, now cared for by relatives, have survived from the 1930s.
