Pischanivka, village in Oleshky Raion (district), Kherson Oblast (province), Ukraine
Pischanivka is a small village in the Oleshky urban hromada in the Odesa region of Ukraine. The settlement sits on flat terrain near the Savran River and contains modest houses spread along narrow roads.
People have inhabited this area since antiquity, with archaeological remains dating from the third to fifth centuries. By the 17th century the settlement expanded through mergers with nearby villages, while residents later endured Polish and Russian rule and faced Turkish-Tatar raids.
The village is easily walkable along narrow roads that offer a calm sense of the daily layout and structure. A train station in the nearby town of Oleshky provides regional transportation connections.
The name Pischanivka comes from the sandy soil that defines this area and gives the land its distinctive light color. The settlement was originally formed from smaller scattered communities and received its current name only in 1955 as part of a countrywide renaming effort.
