Imeni Yurkina sovkhoz was a grain-growing state farm established by Jews during the Soviet period with financial support from the Committee for the Settlement of Toiling Jews on the Land (KOMZET). It was part of the Sholom Aleichem rural council. About 200 Jewish residents of the Sholom Aleichem rural council were murdered at Yurkin in mid-September 1941. This state farm no longer exists.
