Maydorf

Maydorf was a Jewish agricultural colony established in the 1920s with financial support from the Committee for the Settlement of Toiling Jews (Komzet). Initially it was named after the Bolshevik leader Trotsky. In the late 1920s, after Trotsky's expulsion from the Communist Party, the name of the village was changed to Maydorf. It was also known as the 16th Plot. A kolkhoz named The 18th Party Congress was established in Maydorf. About 160 Jewish inhabitants of Maydorf were murdered on September 26, 1941, in the vicinity of the village. The village no longer exists.
