F. I. Polikarpov in his work “Historical and Statistical Description of Churches and Parishes of the Nizhnedevitsky Uyezd of the Voronezh Province” reports that in 1815 the village of Ostren'ke with 247 male souls belonged to the Blue Lipyags. The author suggests that the village arose at the beginning of the 19th century. It is also reported that according to the confessional painting for 1821, there were 300 male souls in Ostrenkoy.

According to the information of 1859, Ostren'ke is listed in the lists of settlements as a treasury village located at the Ostryansky tract, in the village there are 71 courtyards, 521 males and 552 females are residents. The presence of a church in this locality has not yet been noted. These data are confirmed not only by the work of F. I. Polikarpov, but also by the “List of Populated Places According to the Information of 1859 (Vol. IX of the Voronezh Province”, St. Petersburg, 1865, p. 105).

The book by F.I. Polikarpov also contains information that the church began to be built in July 1859 and was soon consecrated in honor of the Protection of the Holy Virgin. The church in Ostryanka was wooden, oak, built by an equilateral cross. The altar was separated from the temple by one iconostasis. Under the throne is a wooden carved canopy with a cross at the top. The iconostasis was built in two tiers. There is evidence of old residents of the village that the walls of the Ostryansky temple were decorated with paintings. At the church in 1886 a parish school was opened. This school was placed in a church gatehouse. According to the documents, the first priest of the Ostryansky church was Ilya Petrovich Scriabin. After the opening of the Church of the Intercession of the Most Holy Theotokos, Ostren'ke separated from the Blue Lipyags.

In 1870, the Dmitrievsky farm (Hop wasteland), located just three miles away, was added to Ostryanka. They attributed him to the village because of his remoteness from the village of Dmitrievskoye, twenty miles away, from which the settlers founded the farm. Until now, the most common surnames on the farm and in the village are the same, and the inhabitants of the neighboring villages, calling both the farm and the village are simply “Dmitrievka”, are forced to clarify which Dmitrievka is in question - Voronezh or Belgorod.

The reference book for 1900 indicated that in Ostryanka there were 222 courtyards, 1,690 residents, three public buildings, a church, one parish school, 11 windmills (windmills), one wine shop and two small shops, one fair was held per year . The post office is Nizhnedevitsk, the number of miles before it is 30, the amount of allotment land is 2381 tithes. 33 tithes of arable land belonged to the church account.

In 1904, there were 345 households in the Dmitrievsky farm and the village of Ostren'ky, 1398 for males and 1395 for women. The village did not have its own post office and medical center (the nearest ones were in Nizhnedevitsk). At the parish school, 38 male students were trained.

After the October Revolution, Soviet power was established in the village in early February 1918. For a long time Alexey Emelyanovich Baryshev worked as the chairman of the executive committee, the secretary of the party cell.

An important role in the creation of Red Guard detachments in the Nizhnedevitsky district was played in 1918-1919 by Peter Maximovich Androkhanov (1880-1942), a native of Kh. Dmitrievsky, a resident of s. Ostryanka, knight of three soldier George crosses. From 1930 to 1942 he worked as chairman of the Dmitrievsky Village Council. During the war years he was left in a partisan detachment in the Nizhnedevitsky district. Shot by fascists in July 1942.

In 1929 collective farms were formed. There were five of them on the territory of the modern Ostryansky rural settlement: two in Ostryanka (named after Lenin and named after Kirov), one on the Malinovo farm, one on the Dmitrievsky farm and the collective farm. Roses Luxembourg - at the Frolov Farm.

In 1959 there was an enlargement of collective farms, one of five was created - named after Lenin, later renamed the collective farm named after Ilyich.

Collective Farm Chairmen

The collective farm chairmen in different years were:

In 1992, the Ilyich collective farm was reorganized into Ostryanskoye LLP, and in 1997 into the Ostryanskaya Agricultural Association (now practically inactive).

World War II

During the Great Patriotic War of July 1942 to January 1943, the village was under occupation. The main contingent of invaders was Magyars (Hungarians). The villagers were robbed and abused, forced to work (mainly digging shelters for cars and trenches). In the fall of 1942, part of the inhabitants was hijacked to work in Germany. Soviet prisoners were driven through Ostryanka, many of whom died on the way or were shot. Most of the victims of the fascist occupation were buried in a mass grave in the village, but the remains of the remains continued until 2011.

The village of Ostryanka was liberated from Nazi invaders on January 25, 1943 by soldiers of the 25th Chapaev Rifle Division.
