History

19th and 20th century

The origins of Sentianivka go back to the 1860s-1880s in the Russian Empire, when three villages named Sentianivka, Novoselivka, and Krasnohorivka were founded on the lands of a retired military officer with the surname Sentianin, who had served in the Bakhmut hussar regiment. In 1901, there were riots in Sentianivka against mistreatment by a landlord. Rioters burned down a brick factory and granaries. Cossack authorities suppressed the rebellion. A railway station was built in Sentianivka in 1908-1910.[2]

In 1930, during the times of the Soviet Union, Sentianivka, Novoselivka, and Krasnohorivka - in addition to another village named Taisivka and a number of hamlets - were united into a new urban-type settlement named Frunze,[2] in honor of the communist revolutionary Mikhail Frunze.

Frunze was temporarily occupied by Nazi Germany during World War II. The citizens waged partisan warfare against the Nazis.[2]

21st century

Frunze was taken under control of pro-Russian forces during the war in Donbas that started in mid-April 2014.[3][4]

During the decommunization in Ukraine that began after the 2014 Revolution of Dignity, the Ukrainian parliament attempted to return the historical name of the village, Sentianivka. However, due to a clerical error, the initial law actually renamed the town to Sentiakivka. This was quickly fixed in an amendment, officially returning the historical name to Sentianivka.[5][6]

Demographics

In 2001 the settlement had 3,752 inhabitants. Native language as of the Ukrainian Census of 2001:[7]
