History
[edit]
Voskresenka emerged on the base of former village Voskresenska Slobidka of Oster Povit of Chernigov Governorate of Russian empire.
One of the earliest owners of this land was prince and otaman of Cossacks of Ukrainian Rus Ostap Dashkevych of Orthodox Christian faith, descendant of Prince Rurik and Genghis, one of the founders of Army of Ukrainian Cossacks, defenders of lives and liberties of Ukrainian people of that time.
