Osypenko, Berdyansk Raion


Osypenko is a village in southern Ukraine. It is located in the Berdyansk Raion of the Zaporizhia Oblast just across from Berdyansk on the left bank of river Berda.
The village was established in 1805 by runaway serfs from Poltava Governorate. Until 1939 it was known as Novospasivka. The village was renamed as Osypenko which is a proper last name for Polina Osipenko who survived an airplane crash of test flight from Moscow to the Russian Far East without landing.
