Since the Annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation in 2014, the town has been under de facto Russian control. In 2016, the Verkhovna Rada passed decommunization legislation that renamed this town to Ichki (), though it hasn't yet been implemented since Ukraine doesn't control the town as of 2024.
