history

The place lies in the historical landscape of Bessarabia . The area of Bessarabia came in 1812 in the Treaty of Bucharest from the Ottoman vassal state of Moldova together with the Budschak to the Russian Empire . The new acquisition was treated as a colonization area and initially assigned to the Governor General of New Russia . In a manifesto of 1813, Tsar Alexander I called German colonists into the country to colonize the newly won steppe areas in New Russia. Here, in 1814, German emigrants founded Borodino as the number 1 village . The place belongs to the 24 Bessarabian German mother colonies. They were established by immigrants, while daughter colonies were later established by residents of the mother colonies. The emigrants who settled here in 1814 were 100 German families.

The original place name "Sak" was derived from the river on which the settlement was founded. After that it was briefly called "Alexander" in honor of the Russian Tsar, but quickly got its current name, which refers to the Battle of Borodino . On the instructions of the Russian settlement authority, many newly established settlements, including Borodino, were named after locations of victorious battles during Napoleon's Russian campaign in 1812 .

Borodino was a settlement with mostly German residents until 1940. From the establishment of the settlement to 1940, the place grew to around 2,700 people. Borodino, like all of Bessarabia, belonged to the Russian Empire until 1917. After the First World War, it was Romanian territory. After the Soviet occupation of Bessarabia in the summer of 1940, covered by the Hitler-Stalin Pact , the Bessarabian German residents joined the resettlement to the German Reich in autumn 1940 under the motto Heim ins Reich . From 1944 (and briefly 1940 to 1941) the place belonged to the Soviet Union , and since its collapse in 1991 it is now Ukrainian territory. Since 1961 the place has been an urban-type settlement.
