'''Mala Tokmachka''' ({{langx|uk|Мала Токмачка}}; {{langx|ru|Малая Токмачка|Malaya Tokmachka}}; both names literally meaning "Little [[Tokmak, Ukraine|Tokmak]]") is a village in [[Polohy Raion]], [[Zaporizhzhia Oblast]], Ukraine, and the administrative center of [[Mala Tokmachka rural hromada]].

Mala Tokmachka was founded in 1783 under the [[Russian Empire]] on the site of a former [[Nogais|Nogai]] settlement by migrants from [[Chernihiv Governorate]], [[Poltava Governorate]], and [[Kyiv Governorate]]. In 1802, Mala Tokmachka was assigned to [[Tavria Governorate]], and in 1842, it specifically became part of [[Berdyansky Uyezd]] (county) within the governorate. By 1886, Mala Tokmachka had a population of 3,534 people, an [[Eastern Orthodox]] church, and a school.<ref name=esu>{{Cite encyclopedia |title=Мала Токмачка |encyclopedia=[[Encyclopedia of Modern Ukraine]] |publisher=Інститут енциклопедичних досліджень НАН України |url=https://esu.com.ua/article-61040 |last=Малахатка |first=А.

Mala Tokmachka (Ukrainian: Мала Токмачка; Russian: Малая Токмачка, romanized: Malaya Tokmachka; both names literally meaning "Little Tokmak") is a village in Polohy Raion, Zaporizhzhia Oblast, Ukraine, and the administrative center of Mala Tokmachka rural hromada. Since the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the village has dropped significantly in population due to its proximity to the active frontline, with the land outside of the village remaining an active battleground during the 2023 Ukrainian counteroffensive.
Geography
[edit]Mala Tokmachka is located on the Konka river that flows through Zaporizhzhia Oblast. It is located 12 kilometres (7.5 mi) from Orikhiv.[3]
History
[edit]Mala Tokmachka was founded in 1783 under the Russian Empire on the site of a former Nogai settlement by migrants from Chernihiv Governorate, Poltava Governorate, and Kyiv Governorate. In 1802, Mala Tokmachka was assigned to Tavria Governorate, and in 1842, it specifically became part of Berdyansky Uyezd (county) within the governorate. By 1886, Mala Tokmachka had a population of 3,534 people, an Eastern Orthodox church, and a school.[1]
During World War I and the Russian Civil War, the settlement changed hands between warring factions several times. As a result of the Holodomor, a manmade famine across the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic from 1932 to 1933, a documented 281 people in Mala Tokmachka died. During World War II, Mala Tokmachka was occupied by Nazi Germany between October 1941 and September 1943. There was a memorial installed in honor of the Red Army soldiers who died liberating the village and to the people from the village who died elsewhere on the frontline.[1]
In late 2016, Mala Tokmachka became part of Mala Tokmachka rural hromada, one of the hromadas of Ukraine established in administrative reforms in the 2010s.[1]
Russian invasion of Ukraine
[edit]At the beginning of the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Mala Tokmachka became a frontline settlement during Russia's initial advance into the nation. The population would drop to only around 200 people by May 2023 due to the proximity of the fighting to the village and consistent Russian shelling which destroyed much of the local infrastructure and utilities.[4] The settlement would remain as part of the minor Mala Tokmachka–Novofedorivka,[5] Mala Tokmachka–Ocheretuvate,[6] Mala Tokmachka–Polohy,[7] and Kamianske–Mali Shcherbaky –Mala Tokmachka,[8] frontlines until 7 June 2023, when Ukrainian forces would first attempt to push the fighting away from the settlement during the 2023 Ukrainian counteroffensive in the south.[7] Armed with new western equipment,[7] the initial attack by Ukraine's 47th Assault Brigade and 33rd Mechanized Brigade went poorly. A Ukrainian tank column came under anti-tank missile fire while attempting to cross a minefield outside of the village.[9] The failed attack would result in up to 25 Ukrainian vehicles becoming damaged or destroyed, including at least one Leopard 2, which would result in a good deal of negative coverage about the effectiveness of the new counteroffensive among multiple news and social media outlets.[9][10] The total number of vehicles lost would be lessened by the later retrieval and repair of some of the damaged vehicles.[11]
Despite the original set-back, Ukrainian Brigadier General Oleksii Hromov would claim that Ukrainian forces had advanced up to 3 km (1.9 mi) near the settlement since beginning their counteroffensive on 15 June.[12] A lack of a major breakthrough on this part of the frontline for Ukrainian forces would lead to largely positional fighting being taken up by late June.[6] As of May 2024, fighting was still ongoing in Robotyne, southwest of Mala Tokmachka, with only relatively minor positional fighting occurring up to this point.
