History
Lahidne was founded in 1836 as Juschanlee, the private estate of Johann Cornies as part of the Molotschna Colony. The land had been gifted to Cornies in 1836 by Nicholas I of Russia. Upon Cornies death in 1848, the estate passed to his daughter, Agnes Wiebe. The estate had 438,707 trees and was a Model farm, which Alexander I of Russia and Alexander II of Russia both visited. The Juschanlee Estate was sold to Heinrich Reimer in 1879 who built a large house, as well as many statues of the Reimer family.
A brick factory was built in the farm in 1845.
The farm was taken by the Soviet Union in January 1918.
The farm was reorganized into the Mohutnyi Collective Farm in 1922, and it became a state breeding farm for Cattle in 1927, and became one of the largest breeding farms in Ukraine.
The farm was renamed to Kirove in 1935 after Sergei Kirov, and the farm was later known as Kirove Khutir.
115 residents of the village fought in World War II, with 73 died, and 68 awarded medals.
Many of the former estate buildings were demolished in the 1970s after a long period of deterioration, while the main house was used as a home for war veterans, and in 1997 became a Psychiatric hospital.
The village was renamed to Lahidne in 2016 due to Decommunization.
