Maiaky (Ukrainian: Мая́ки) is a village in eastern Ukraine, located in Kramatorsk Raion, Donetsk Oblast. It is located in Sviatohirsk urban hromada.[1]
History
The village of Mayaky was founded in 1663 as a guard fortress (Mayatskiy ostrog) of Sloboda Ukraine on the southern border.[1]
According to one of the theories, on the highest hill above the Siverskyi Donets river, a lighthouse was built, which Cossack sentry junctions set fire to to inform of danger, and the village name was derived from the Ukrainian word for lighthouse, Маяк(Mayak). Another theory is that the name was derived from the "Maya" settlement that existed before Maiaky as a village was established.[1]
In 1919, during the Russian Civil War, Maiaky was captured by the Bolsheviks, who incorporated it into the Soviet Union.[1] During World War II, intense fighting took place near Maiaky in 1943.[2]
Russo-Ukrainian war
In 2014, the "Phoenix" poultry farm was started up in Maiaky. The name "phoenix" was given to the farm because the farm had previously been based in Luhansk Oblast, but been destroyed by violence of the Russian army during the war in Donbas. The farm became one of the most important in the region.[3] In 2017, during demining activities related to the war in Donbas, workers discovered the previously undiscovered remains of one Wehrmacht soldier and six Red Army soldiers from 1943.[2]
In 2022, during the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Russian military has repeatedly shelled the "Phoenix" poultry farm located in Maiaky. In late October 2022, the Russian army completely destroyed the farm, and all the birds have died.[3]
