Imeni Kaganovicha Kolkhoz

The Kaganovich collective farm was established in the 1920s with financial support from the Committee for the Settlement of Toiling Jews on the Land (KOMZET). It was named after Lazar Kaganovich, at that time general secretary of the Ukrainian Communist Party. The kolkhoz was also known as the 23rd Plot. It was part of the Sholom Aleichem Jewish rural council in the Kalinindorf Ethnic Jewish County. After the area was occupied by German forces in the late summer of 1941, about 70 Jewish kolkhoz members were murdered in mid-September at the nearby Yurkino state farm. The Kaganovich collective farm no longer exists.
