The territory of the Ruska Lozova is located on the Central Russian Upland, within the forest steppe natural zone, a small forest massif (oak) adjoins the village. The relief of the village is an undulating plain with ravines and gullies.[3]

History

[edit]

Ruska Lozova was founded in 1663. [6] The village suffered as a result of the Holodomor from 1932 to 1933, during which 20 people in the village died.[7]

Until 18 July 2020, Ruska Lozova belonged to Derhachi Raion. The raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Kharkiv Oblast to seven. The area of Derhachi Raion was merged into Kharkiv Raion.[8][9]

The suburb was used in early 2022, during the Russian occupation of Kharkiv Oblast, as a launch point by the Russian army firing at the city's civilian infrastructure. Ukrainian forces re-took the village from Russian troops on 29 April of that year.[10][11][12]
