Yeni Krymchak (also known as the 6th Plot) was founded in the early 1930s as an agricultural settlement by Krymchaks Jews who had been sent there by the Soviet authorities and supported by the American organization Agro-Joint. The Frunze kolkhoz (after the war renamed Krymskyi Partisan [the Crimean Partisan) was established nearby. The majority of the village's residents were Krymchaks.

On February and April 1942 almost all the Krymchak families of the village (mainly women and children) were shot to death outside the village.

Yeni-Krymchak was liberated by the Red Army in April 1944.

The village no longer exists.
