The village of Malomikhaylovka, previously known as Malaya Mikhaylovka, appeared in the 17th century thanks to builders of military engineering structures on the Nezhegol section of the Belgorod defensive line. In 1723, warrant officer Yevsey Bekaryukov acquired these lands and named the village after himself.

There was a wooden church in the village, which eventually fell into disrepair. In 1785, landowner Anna Bekaryukova built a new stone church with an iron roof, consecrated in honor of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary on August 28. This Assumption church served only the settlement of Bekaryukovka, where just over 700 people lived in the early 20th century. A church-parish school operated at the church, and it was served by a priest and a psalmist, who lived on donations from parishioners, as they received no salary.

According to fragmentary data, the church was destroyed in the 1930s due to a lack of building materials, and it was dismantled for bricks. In the mid-1950s, the ruins were leveled, and the area was planted with flowerbeds and trees. In the mid-1980s, a modern House of Culture was built here.

During the dismantling of the church, everyone was struck by a sturdy bell with the inscription 'For the memory of the soul,' which could not be broken. This bell, weighing 123 poods and 23 pounds, was cast at the factory of landowner Ryzhov in Kharkiv and could be heard from a distance of 10 versts. Its sound was used during disasters and bad weather, like a beacon at sea: the watchman rang it every half hour with ten strikes, so travelers could navigate. Eventually, the bell was sent to the Shebekinsky Machine Engineering Plant, where high-quality bearings were made from it.
