After elimination of all Germans from the territory during World War II, the village was resettled by Boykos deported from territories that were transferred by Soviet Union to Poland in 1951 (see 1951 Polish–Soviet territorial exchange).[3]

Telmanove is as of 2017 controlled by pro-Russian separatists, who seized the town backed by Russian military forces in August 2014 as part of the Russian military intervention in Ukraine.[4]
