History
editUntil 18 July 2020, Tarutyne was the administration center of Tarutyne Raion. The raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Odesa Oblast to seven. The area of Tarutyne Raion was merged into Bolhrad Raion.[4][5]
Until 26 January 2024, Tarutyne was designated urban-type settlement. On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Tarutyne became a rural settlement.[6]
In September 2024, Tarutyne was renamed to Bessarabske as a part of the derussification campaign.[7]
