After the Russo-Turkish War from 1768 to 1774 , the fortress, of which there are still remains today, lost its strategic importance. The place, which has meanwhile grown around the fortress, was renamed Konstantinograd (Ukrainian Kostjantynohrad ) by decree of Tsarina Catherine the Great after her grandson Konstantin . At that time the settlement already had 130 houses with 617 residents.

In 1797 the town received the status of a town which was then provincial capital in the Russian governorate of Poltava from 1802 . In 1810 1,680 people lived here. Following the Russian Civil War , the city was given its current name in 1922 (in German "Red City") after the red symbol of the communists who were victorious in the civil war .
