History
Relief by Batia Lishansky in Memory of the 1919 Pogrom of the Jewish inhabitants, located at Givatayim, Israel.

Velyka Mykhailivka developed as a merger of several localities. Two biggest ones were the selos of Bohuslavka and Mykhaylivske, also known as Hrosulove. The area was settled after 1792, when the lands between the Southern Bug and the Dniester were transferred to Russia according to the Iasi Peace Treaty. Bohuslavka was founded in the end of the 18th century, and Hrosulove was founded in 1793. The name of Hrosulove comes from the landowner, Grosul-Tolstoy. The area was included in Tiraspol Uyezd, which belonged to Yekaterinoslav Viceroyalty until 1795, Voznesensk Viceroyalty until 1796, Novorossiya Governorate until 1803, and Kherson Governorate until 1920.[3]

Velyka Mykhailivka is known for the 1919 pogrom of the Jewish inhabitants.

On 16 April 1920, Odessa Governorate split off, and Odessky Uyezd was moved to Odessa Governorate. In 1923, uyezds in Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic were abolished, and the governorates were divided into okruhas. Hrosulove was included into Odessa Okruha. On 7 March 1923 Hrosulove Raion with the administrative center in Hrosulove was established.[4] In 1930, okruhas were abolished, and on 27 February 1932, Odessa Oblast was established, and Hrosulove Raion was included into Odessa Oblast. In 1946, Hrosulove was renamed Velyka Mykhailivka, and Hrosulove Raion was renamed Velyka Mykhailivka Raion.[3]

gollark: You can have TCP/UDP on the same port, no issues.
gollark: Nope!
gollark: Although you'd have to run it over UDP as no NAT devices etc. support it.
gollark: According to internet™, SCTP is an alternate protocol which fixes most of these issues somewhat.
