history
The area around Melnyky has been inhabited since ancient times. A Bronze Age settlement called Motroninski Fortress and early Scythian burial mounds were discovered here.
In the 11th century, before the Mongol-Tatar invasion , the famous Motroninski Monastery was built on the area of the settlement , which also served as a fortress. Later the monastery was destroyed several times. The villagers rebuilt it every time (the last time in 1568).
The village was the center of the self-proclaimed Cholodnoyarska Republic ( Холодноярська республіка Cholodnoyarskaja respublyka ) during the Ukrainian national revolution in the early 1920s . On October 9, 2010, a memorial was erected in the village to the officer and writer of the novel Cholodnyj Yar Yuri Horlis-Horskyj .
