Ottoman Empire
[edit]By the end of the eighteenth century, very little was known about this land, captured by the Ottoman Empire. It was believed that it was "desert, waterless and treeless, uninhabitable". However, in 1791, when the lands between the Bug and the Dniester were annexed to the Russian Empire, it turned out that there were some settlements. Zakharivka was one of them. It's believed that it was founded in the second half of the 18th century by Ukrainian and Russian runaway serfs, as well as Moldavians who came here from the Dniester.
