History

[edit]

Bochechky was first mentioned in 1659.[2] Prior to the Emancipation reform of 1861 the majority of villagers were serfs under the Byrdyn, Lvov, or Yazuchevskyi families.[3] The Lvov family historically owned an 18th-century palace [uk].[2]

Following the establishment of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic, two kolkhozes were established in Bochechky. Two more were established between 1930 and 1931, as was a theatre and a library. 850 residents of the village died during World War II.[3]
