History
editBerezivka, as a settlement, was founded in 1802, initially as part of the village of Ananiv until it became separate when it experienced an influx of refugees from serfdom.[3] It also started to become populated by German colonists.[3] As the population grew, the settlement became a significant trade and industry center within the Novorossiya Governorate.
During the Ukrainian War of Independence, from 1917 to 1920, it passed between various factions. Afterwards, it was administratively part of the Odesa Governorate of Ukraine.[4] In March 1923, it became a district center.[3] Multiple mechanical factories, a power plant, and a plant for the repair of equipment were built within the village.[3] During World War II, the village was occupied by the Nazi Germans from 10 August 1941 to 1 April 1944.[3] During the occupation, most of the village's Jewish residents were killed, of whom there were thousands at the time.[3] However, it became the center for an underground resistance against the Nazis, which was led by M. Mayboroda.[3] In 1962, the village was given the status of a city.[3]
