History
It was the administrative center of Lypovets uyezd in Kiev Governorate of the Russian Empire.
During World War II, Lypovets was occupied by Nazi German troops, from 1941, to 1944. In a field near Lypovets, from the end of April 1942, over 950 Jews were shot by German security forces with the support of local policemen and buried in two mass graves.[2] To commemorate the extermination, obelisks were erected in the 1950s - on the initiative of Leontii Usharenko, who was pulled out of the pit at the last minute and had to watch his family and acquaintances being murdered. Two memorials were erected at the mass graves of the Jewish victims in 2019 and ceremonially inaugurated in September 2019.
As a result of this occupation, Lypovets was the site of a battle between the Soviet Union and the Slovak State. The battle ended with a Slovak victory, with a cumulative casualty count of nearly 700.
