Cherkaske, Urban settlement in Novomoskovsk Raion, Ukraine.
Cherkaske is an urban-type settlement located in Novomoskovsk Raion within Dnipropetrovsk Oblast in eastern Ukraine. The community sits at approximately 70 meters elevation and is surrounded by agricultural countryside with basic local services.
The settlement was founded in 1949 under the name Nove and renamed in 1957 after the 22nd Guards Tank Division. This change reflected the community's connection to Soviet-era military operations in the region.
The settlement reflects Ukrainian village governance through its hromada administrative center, which serves as the focal point for local community matters. This form of local organization shapes how residents engage with everyday civic and social concerns.
The settlement provides essential services and local amenities for daily life including shops, schools, and administrative offices. Note that military facilities play a significant role in the community's infrastructure and should be respected when visiting.
The settlement sits just outside the military town of Hvardiiske and served as a key Soviet tank base with strategic importance during the Cold War. Its small population of under 4,200 residents and proximity to this military complex make it largely unknown to most travelers passing through the region.
