The inhabited locality grew up out of the former Malinovka village after World War II as a centre of a selsoviet and the Znamya Oktyabrya kolkhoz.[2]
Today Maļinova is the home of the parish administration, a house of culture, library, feldsher station and the Elijah the Prophet Orthodox church, which is a rebuilt priest's house.[3] A bell tower was built here, as a result of donations, and in 2008, three new bells were bought.[4]
The first church in Malinova was built in 1836, but was burned down during the second world war, and in its place was built a Culture house, which was burned down in 2010.[5] A new Orthodox church is being built on this same sit.[6]
