The name of the village comes from the cave passages, which served as shelter for the inhabitants of the settlement from the constant attacks of enemies.

During World War II, it is the site of the Pechora concentration camp where thousands of Jews were murdered.[1]

Although many of the Slavic-language equivalents to this template equate this template to the borders of the old Tulchyn Raion prior to the 2020 administrative reform, this is linked with the modern borders, as the English wikipedia has integrated all 2020 Raion reformation into the modern-day raion articles given that the raion article depicts a Raion that was expanded and not integrated into another. Given that, this template contains far more villages than many of the other languages have, as it includes the acquired territory post-2020.
