People of the community
Alongside local government, the community is created by its people. Among them are communal workers who are cleaning the sidewalks, removing dry branches, and arranging flower beds.When speaking about local residents, it is important to highlight the contribution of the rescue servicemen. Nowadays, their job is not just to eliminate emergencies. Their other crucial task now is to inform local residents about the basic safety rules and means of detection of explosive devices, many of which were left behind by the Russian troops.
History
Krasnopillya has historically been of immense importance for the defense of modern Ukrainian territory. The establishment of the village is associated with the construction of a defense line which held back the Crimean Khanate and the Nogai hordes. These events date back to the XVII century. In those days peasants and Cossacks from the Right Bank of the Dnipro River resettled here. They were granted to settle vacant lands here without tax for their regimental service. Since the 1920s, the majority of the population here has been involved in farming.
Holodomor of 1932-1933, genocide against Ukrainians conducted by the Soviet Union, did not bypass Krasnopillya with at least 90 locals having died of famine.
