Mala Tokmachka

Common card · No. 320563

Mala Tokmachka (Ukrainian: Мала Токмачка) is a village in Polohy Raion, Zaporizhzhia Oblast, Ukraine, and the administrative center of Mala Tokmachka rural hromada. Since the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the village has dropped significantly in population due to its proximity to the active frontline, with the land outside of the village remaining an active battleground during the 2023 Ukrainian counteroffensive. The village subsequently became the subject of internet memes, as Russian media repeatedly reported the same success over months, while also becoming a symbol of resilience for Ukraine, with the defense reportedly lasting over 1,500 days.
