History
[edit]The Olizar family inherited this village and the surrounding lands, then later leased it to Sophia Teofila Danylovychivna, leading to many legal court proceedings surrounding the ownership of the village.[1]
During the Holodomor, this village, like many others throughout Ukraine, experienced widespread hunger, leading to numerous deaths from starvation.[2]
Famed Yiddish writer Sholem Aleichem (1859–1916), who was born in the nearby Pereiaslav, grew up in Voronkiv. Voronkiv served as the inspiration for Aleicham's fictional shtetl of Kasrilevka.[3]
