Geography

The village is located on the banks of the Udy River and is approximately 4 km. from the Russian border.

History

The village was founded on 14 November 1677 and was originally known as Prystinne.[1]

In 1706, the village was renamed Udy, after the river of the same name.[1]

During the Russian Empire, Udy was the administrative center of the Udyansk Volost[uk], a volost of the Kharkovskiy Uyezd.[2]

In 1864, the village consisted of 432 farms and had a population of 3,742 (1,834 males and 1,908 females).[2]

By 1914, the population had increased to 5,167.

406 village residents died as a result of the Holodomor.[3]

In late August 2022, Udy was captured by Russian forces as part of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.[4] The village was liberated during the eastern counteroffensive.
