Telmanove (Template:Lang-uk; Template:Lang-ru) or Boikivske (Template:Lang-uk; Template:Lang-ru) is an urban-type settlement in Donetsk Oblast, Ukraine. It is located in the industrial Donbas region of eastern Ukraine. Its population is 4,219 (2022 estimate).[1]
The settlement has its roots in the German colony of Ostheim, founded in the mid-1800s at the invitation of the government of the Russian Empire. It received the name Telmanove in 1935 for ideological reasons after becoming part of the Soviet Union. After World War II, the German population was expelled by the Soviet government and the village was repopulated by Boykos. After becoming part of independent Ukraine in 1991, it was taken over by the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR), a Russian puppet state, in August 2014. The DPR, and later explicitly Russia, has occupied the town since.
History
Founding
After the 1783 annexation of the Crimean Khanate by the Russian Empire, the government of the Russian Empire invited foreign colonists to settle Russia's newly acquired lands along the coast of the Black Sea and of the Azov Sea. In one wave of colonization in 1835-1852, 145 ethnic German families were granted land. They founded numerous colonies, including the settlement Ostheim, which would later become Telmanove/Boikivske.[2] The name "Ostheim" can be translated to English as "Eastern Home".[3]
According to the 1897 Russian Empire census, there were 43 households and 358 inhabitants in Ostheim. Of these, 273 were Germans, and 85 were ethnic Russian and Ukrainian laborers who migrated to the colony from other villages and regions.[2]
In the Soviet Union
During the period of the Soviet Union, in late 1934, Ostheim Raion was formed, with Ostheim as its center. In 1935, Ostheim was renamed Telmanove after the German Communist Ernst Thälmann, reflecting the village's German population. Ostheim Raion was also renamed to Telmanove Raion to match.[2]
During World War II, Telmanove was occupied by Nazi Germany on 13 October 1941. The Nazis massacred many of the town's residents, and expelled numerous ethnic Russian and Ukrainian families. Telmanove was liberated by the Red Army on 9 September 1943.[2] After the end of the war, in another campaign of ethnic cleansing, the Germans of Telmanove were expelled from the village by the Soviet government. The village was resettled by Boykos deported from territories that were transferred by Soviet Union to Poland in 1951 (see 1951 Polish–Soviet territorial exchange).[4]
Late 20th century and early 21st century
In 1999, the Ukrainian Orthodox Church – Kyiv Patriarchate (UOC-KP) opened a "House of Mercy" in Telmanove, for treating the elderly and disabled.[5]
During the war in Donbas, in August 2014, Telmanove was seized by the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR), a Russian puppet state, backed by Russian military forces.[6] In late 2014 and early 2015, the UOC-KP church of Telmanove was shelled several times and eventually destroyed.[5]
Telmanove was renamed Boikivske by the Verkhovna Rada in 2016 as part of decommunization in Ukraine,[7] in honor of the Boyko deportees.[3] Telmanove Raion was also renamed Boikivske Raion in turn.[8]
In 2019, the DPR began a crackdown on religious freedom, specifically against the UOC-KP, due to refusal of their clergy to endorse the DPR government. Among other punishments, the DPR threatened to confiscate the House of Mercy in Boikivske. UOC-KP Bishop of Donetsk and Mariupol Sergius (Horobtsov) said there was "constant persecution, insults and intimidation of all our priests."[5]
Ukrainian authorities abolished Boikivske Raion in 2020[9] and merged its territory into the newly created Kalmiuske Raion.[10]
On 26 October 2021, the Ukrainian Armed Forces launched an attack on DPR artillery near Boikivske using a Bayraktar TB2 drone, in response to DPR shelling of Ukrainian positions and of the settlement Hranitne.[11]
