History

The name of the town has been in record since the 1600s. It is thought by those who have origins in the village that it was originally named for a Cossack leader by the name of Suprun. During the days of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Supranivka was considered to be part of Galicia. In the time between the Russian Revolution and the Second World War, many inhabitants of Supranivka left the country, and some were exiled to the Russian Far East. Today, many houses in Supranivka are decaying, and most of its inhabitants are too poor to repair their heating systems - in 2011, one old house was destroyed in a gas explosion. [2]

Attractions

The main attractions in Supranivka are the Church of the Nativity of the Virgin and the symbolic "Grave of Warriors", which was constructed in the 1990s.
