By decree of the NKVD on November 2, 1920, the village of Sannikovo, Akmola district, was renamed to Trotskoye, and the Sannikovsky volost was renamed to Trotskaya. From 1934 to 1961 the village was called Kolkhoznoe. In 1961, the village was given the status of a workers' settlement and the name Ulyanovsky, which it bore until 1997.
