History
The settlement was founded in 1866 by German settlers as Alexanderfeld. It belonged to Odessky Uyezd of Kherson Governorate and was the administrative center of Aleksandrfeldskaya Volost. In 1914, after the start of World War I, it was renamed Suvorovo, to commemorate Alexander Suvorov, in a wave of eliminating German names. On 16 April 1920, Odesa Governorate split off, and Odessky Uyezd was moved to Odesa Governorate. In 1923, uyezds in Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic were abolished, and the governorates were divided into okruhas. In 1923, Suvorovo was renamed Tylihulo-Berezanka, and in 1966 Berezanka.

Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Berezanka”, the useful work is to connect “rural settlement in Mykolaiv Raion (district), Mykolaiv Oblast (province), Ukraine” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
Maps, plans, fabric surveys and administrative records can establish how the site’s name, extent and function changed over time. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 15, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q2571922. Authority coordinates are 46.855, 31.387. 1 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2022, 1866, 1914 and 1920.
A single description cannot reconcile every naming convention, rebuilding phase or administrative transfer associated with a place. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
