Kozinka (Template:Lang-ru) is a rural locality (a selo) and the administrative center of Kozinskoye Rural Settlement, Grayvoronsky District, Belgorod Oblast, Russia. The population was 1,097 as of 2010.^[2] In 2023, the village was attacked and briefly occupied by pro-Ukrainian forces during the Russian invasion of Ukraine.^[3]

Geography

Kozinka is located 12 km southwest of Grayvoron (the district's administrative centre) by road. Glotovo is the nearest rural locality.^[4]

History

A historical source testifies that the year 1663 is listed as the date of foundation of the settlement Verbovoye. Later, the Cherkasy (Little Russians) who arrived and settled there renamed the village Kozinka. According to archaeological finds, the village has a more ancient history, as evidenced by the arrowheads found in the left-bank part of the village, belonging to the Scythian culture.^{[citation needed]}

In 1896, in honor of the accession and marriage of Emperor Nicholas II, the village's inhabitants began the construction of a church in the name of John the Apostle.^[5]

2023 incursion

In May 2023, during the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the governor of Belgorod Oblast, Vyacheslav Gladkov, said that Ukrainian "sabotage groups" entered Grayvoronsky District. Ukrainian media reported that the cross-border excursion was being performed by Russian rebel opposition groups, the Russian Volunteer Corps and the Freedom of Russia Legion. It was confirmed that The Freedom of Russia Legion and the Russian Volunteer Corps captured the villages of Kozinka and Gora-Podol^[6]^[7].
