We bring to your attention photos of residents of the village of Ivkovtsy, where Maxim Zheleznyak was born, one of the leaders of the Haidamaks during the time of Koliiivschina.
This village on the territory of the modern Cherkasy region of the Chigirinsky district is covered with Cossack glory. It is believed that Maxim Zheleznyak was born here. In 1993 a monument to the hero of the national liberation war was erected in the village of Ivkovtsy.
More than 100 years ago, 1,848 people lived in the village. The locals were mainly engaged in farming. During the civil war, the village was part of the Ataman Svirid Kotsura in the Chigirinsky Republic, and after the defeat of this formation, it was part of the Coldar Republic.
