the Greeks in Russia and the Soviet Union. The leading communists of the Greek minority named the kolkhoz "Afiny" on 15 May 1927 after the name of Athens, Greece (Greek: Αθήνα, romanized: Athína) and twenty buildings were constructed in the center of the tiny village. The inhabitants were almost all from the local Greek minority. They all came from the villages of Kremenivka, Kalchyk and Kasianivka. Their ancestors were coming in Donetsk, in 1780, from Crimea and from the villages Balky (131 men & 113 women), Chardakly (75 men & 79 women), and Bai-su (51 men & 56 women). It was renamed Zoria in 1945, but it still keeps the name Afiny for the local minority of the Greeks.
In 2022, the village was captured by Russia during Russian invasion of Ukraine.
In 2024, the Ukrainian Verkhovna Rada (parliament) returned the original name to the village.
