The village was founded by German Mennonites in 1805 under the name Petershagen within the region of Molotschna. In 1945, it was renamed to Kutuzivka. Its church, built in 1892, was restored in 1990s.[3][4] In 2024, the original name of the village was returned as part of the derussification campaign.[5]
