Azov was captured by Donetsk People's Republic forces during the war in Donbas.[4]

In 2016, the Ukrainian parliament approved renaming the village to Azov as part of decommunization.[5] However, since the separatists with actual control of the village do not recognize this name change, this renaming has not yet gone into effect.
