History

Hrun was first mentioned in 1665.[2] Under the Cossack Hetmanate it was the capital of the Hrun Sotnia, part of the Hadiach Regiment.[3]

The village was taken over by the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic in December 1917. An Association for Joint Cultivation of Land named Zghoda was also established in the village in 1924. During World War II 295 residents of Hrun were killed.[2]

Until 1959 Hrun was the centre of Hrun Raion. After the raion was abolished, the village became part of Okhtyrka Raion.[4]
