History
The settlement was heavily affected by the Chernobyl disaster in 1986. During the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, the settlement was occupied by Russia on 26 February 2022 and regained by Ukraine on 3 April 2022.{{cn|date=October 2023}}
Until 26 January 2024, Pershotravneve was designated urban-type settlement. On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Pershotravneve became a rural settlement.{{cite news |title=Что изменится в Украине с 1 января |url=https://glavnoe.in.ua/ru/novosti/chto-yzmenytsya-v-ukrayne-s-1-yanvarya |work=glavnoe.in.ua |lang=ru| date=1 January 2024}}
