Geography
Biriukove is located on the left bank of the Kundryuchya river, near the source.[4]
History
Burial mounds dating back to the Bronze Age have been uncovered near Biriukove.[3]
Biriukove was founded in 1778 by serfs from the villages Rovenky and Krasnovka, as the village Krynychne.[5][4]
During the Russian Civil War, the Bolsheviks established control over Krynychne in December 1917, incorporating it into the Soviet Union. In March 1920, the Communist chairman of the village council, a man named M. Biriukov, was allegedly murdered by "kulaks".[3][6] Krynychne was renamed to Biriukove in his honor in 1921.[3][4]
About a thousand citizens of Biriukove were participants in World War II. About 340 of them died, while 780 were decorated with awards.[3] A monument named "Motherland" was erected in honor of the soldiers who died.[5]
In 1964, Biriukove received urban-type settlement status.[4][3]
Since 2014, Biryukove has been occupied by the unrecognized state the Luhansk People's Republic.[7][better source needed] On July 7, 2014, one Ukrainian border guard was wounded after a mortar attack on this town's checkpoint, south of Sverdlovsk, Luhansk Oblast.[citation needed]
In 2016, the settlement was renamed by the Verkhovna Rada back to Krynychne as part of decommunization in Ukraine.[8]
Culture
There is a Church of St. Mitrophan in the town, which denominationally belongs to the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (Moscow Patriarchate).[5]
