== History ==
Radensk was [[Russian occupation of Kherson Oblast|occupied by Russia]] during the [[Russian invasion of Ukraine]]. The hromada head Yevhen Ryshchuk, giving an interview in April 2022, relayed an incident during which, in the village, the Russians brought humanitarian aid in the form of clothes, but the angry civilians refused to accept them due to the then-recent [[Bucha massacre]] committed by Russia, and destroyed the clothing with a [[tractor]]. Reportedly, after the returning Russians were unable to find the specific person who drove the tractor, they went to the man who owned the tractor, and nailed him by his palms to a fence.<ref name=smert>{{Cite web |title=«Гірше за смерть – прокинутися у «ХНР» - інтерв’ю голови Олешківської громади |url=https://decentralization.gov.ua/admin/articles/14851.html |access-date=2023-06-11 |website=decentralization.gov.ua}}</ref>
