Osokorivka, Kherson Oblast

The village was founded in 1783 by fugitive serfs from Kyiv, Poltava, Tula, and the Tambov provinces. In 1924, multiple associations of peasants were formed for joint land cultivation called "Komunar" and "Haslo". Later reports about the Russian occupation accused Russian forces of holding village elders captive for weeks and torturing them for allegedly collaborating with Ukrainian forces. == Administrative status ==

Until 18 July 2020, Osokorivka belonged to Novovorontsovka Raion. The raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Kherson Oblast to five. The area of Novovorontsovka Raion was merged into Beryslav Raion. ==References==
