History

On 24 August 1654, Russian forces defeated the Poles at the Battle of Shepeleviche during the Russo-Polish War.
During World War II, the village was under German military occupation from 8 July 1941 until 1944. Several dozen Jews remained at the start of the occupation. On 15 November 1941, the Jews were escorted by local police to a quarry outside the village and about 30 or 40 Jews were shot. The remaining Jews were put in a ghetto until 12 December, when they were transferred to the ghetto in Kruhlaye. They shared the same fate as the Jews there, most of whom were shot in early 1942.
