The inhabitants of the village are mostly Ukrainians.
The demographic base of the village was undermined by the genocide of the Ukrainian people, which was also carried out in this village by the USSR government in 1932-1933.
The next blow was the forcible mobilization of young people into Stalin's troops, the majority of whom were killed on the fronts of the Second World War, as well as illegally held in the army for hard labor (until the 1950s).
Since the 1990s, the reduction of the rural population has reached alarming proportions, most of the young people emigrated to the cities, which caused a deep demographic crisis.
During the 2001 Ukrainian census, the population of the village was 727 people, 98.62% were Ukrainians, 1.38% were Russians.
History
[edit]The ancient great caravan road from Kyiv to Bulgaria passed through the village, which was used for brisk trade with Khazaria.
The village has been known since 1580, according to other data — since 1632. According to the charter of the Polish king Sigismund III from 1590, Zaudaika, together with a number of other settlements, was transferred to the ownership of Prince Jeremi Wiśniowiecki.
Zaudaika was founded on the left bank of the Udai as an outpost of the village of Monastyryshche in connection with the expansion of the settlement.
Since 1648, after the start of Bohdan Khmelnytskyi's war for independence of Ukraine, Zaudaika was part of the newly created Monastyryshche Hundred of the Pryluky Regiment, and the inhabitants of the village were registered as Cossacks.
During the Second World War, 357 residents were mobilized to the ranks of the Red Army and partisan units against the German troops, 217 of them died. For the courage and bravery shown in the fight against the enemy, 67 residents were awarded orders and medals of the USSR. Also, during the war, the Nazis forcibly took 18 local residents to Germany and shot two communists.
During the Soviet intervention in Afghanistan in 1979-1989, 18 residents of Zaudaika served in the military, one of them died - Vasyl Borshch. After the withdrawal of Soviet troops from Afghanistan, Vasyl Mykytchenko, one of the Zaudaika participants in those events, wrote the book "From Zaudaika to Kabul".
