After elimination of all Germans from the territory during World War II, the village was resettled by Boykos deported from territories that were transferred by Soviet Union to Poland in 1951 (see 1951 Polish–Soviet territorial exchange).[3]
Telmanove has since 2014 been administered as a part of the de facto Donetsk People's Republic. Pro-Russian separatists seized the town backed by Russian military forces in August 2014 as part of the war in Donbas.[4]
