History

The settlement was founded in the early 20th century where it was named Ivanovsky Rudnik, then Gustav in 1912 after the entrepreneur.

In 1919, the settlement was renamed to Lotikovo, in memory of the Bolshevik revolutionary Vasiliya Petrovicha Lotikova.

On May 12, 2016, the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine had de jure renamed the settlement to Ivanivske, but the change is de facto not recognized by the Luhansk People's Republic.
