Initially, the village was called Krivusha, named after the sharp bend in the river's course. It was founded in the early 19th century on the lands of Count Alexey Grigoryevich Orlov-Chesmensky. In 1845, it was purchased by the state from Countess Anna Alexeyevna Orlova-Chesmensky. In 1859, a wooden Archangel Church was built in the village (it no longer exists today). At that time, 876 people lived here in 83 households. By 1900, the village had 67 households with a population of 1,564 residents; there was one public building, a zemstvo school, nine windmills, a groat mill, two blacksmiths, and wine and tea shops. In 1926, there were 2062 people. It was part of the Bobrov and Voronezh districts (1923-1928). From 1936 to 1957, the village was included in the Limanovsky district.
