Thieves

The name of the village happened as a consequence of what was then done very often, as was written in the documents, of the “thieves' raids” of the highlanders into the Russian part of the Caucasus through this area ^[5] .

The village is located on the slopes of the Vorovskoles ridge, part of the Stavropol Upland , 16 km southwest of the regional center of Kursavka . To the north and east of the village passes the Great Stavropol Canal .

On February 28, 1793, a decree of Catherine II was issued, endorsing the plan of Count Gudovich on the formation of 12 villages, including the village of Vorovskoleskaya.

In 1793, the Vorovskolesky redoubt was built. In the summer of 1794, 100 Don Cossack families were settled next to the redoubt ^[5] .

The village was repeatedly attacked by the highlanders. So in 1804 the highlanders stole a stanitsa herd. In 1807, the village was ruined by the highlanders. In 1823, the village was included in the Khopersky regiment ^[6] . In 1827, the Cossacks moved to the village of Batalpashinskaya , and only the guard post remained on the site of the village.

In 1849, the village was restored. Both former residents and immigrants from Poltava and Voronezh provinces returned here ^[5] . In 1860, the population of the village was 170 families (1384 people) of Cossacks and only 26 people from other cities.

An article from ESBE (end of the 19th century):

"The village of Vorovskoleska - Kuban region , Batalpashinsky department . Community Land - 24934 tithes; 742 courtyards; residents of 4947 (1890); 829 houses, 1 church, 2 schools, 10 shops, 4 drinking houses and a dukhan, 1 mill, 1 oil mill. Horses 754, sheep 12758, cattle - 5805 heads, oxen of workers - 2030 pairs ^[7] . "

In 1893, part of the Cossacks of the village with the number of 77 families (572 people) moved to the territory of the modern Krasnodar Territory , having founded the Vorovskolesky farm (the modern village of Vyselki) . A year later, another 42 Cossack families (232 people) moved ^[5] .

In 1918, the village became a stronghold of the Shkuro detachments. After the defeat of the White Guards, many Cossacks left the village, and later Russia . Peasants from Stavropol villages moved to the village. In 1925, 5.8 thousand inhabitants lived in the village, in 1927 - 6.5 thousand.

During the Great Patriotic War, about 600 villagers died at the front. From August 1942 to January 1943, the village was in occupation, liberated on January 17 by units of the 37th Army.
