Selidovka

The village of Selidovka was established in 1770—1773. Under Soviet rule, in 1923, a kolkhoz (collective farm) named "Za Sutsilnu Kollectivizatsiyu" ("For Complete Collectivization") was set up in the village. Little is known about Jewish life in Selidovka. In 1939, the Selidovka County was home to 107 Jews. Selidovka was occupied by the German army in September 1941. A Jewish family from Selidovka was murdered in late 1941. In mid-June 1942, a Jewish family from the nearby village of Aleksandrovka was massacred in Selidovka. The village was liberated by the Red Army in September 1943. In 1956, Selidovka was renamed Selidovo.
