The Battle of The Stokhod was an engagement of the Great War fought between the Russians and the Austro-German during July and August 1916. In the second week of July, 1916, the Russians under Lesh, having driven the Austro-Germans from the Steyr were moving on the Stokhod. On the eighth of July, in combination with Kaledin's right wing, Lesh crossed the Upper Stokhod.
On the ninth of July the Russians on the west bank of the Stokhod, captured almost the whole of the bend between Kashovka on the north and Yanokva to the south. On the twenty-eighth of July they forced the river at Gulevitche, and also at Kashovka, breaking through the enemies trenches and capturing 4000 prisoners and 38 guns within a few hours.
On the third and fourth of August the Russians launched a powerful assault on the village of Rudka Mirynska on the Stavok, breaking through the defences north of the village and capturing the village, before withdrawing as the village formed a weak salient.
