It is known that in November 1905, the peasants, gathered at the meeting, demanded that local authorities increase land plots, allow free fishing. These demands were not satisfied, and for an anti-government protest against the "existing order" a state fine was imposed on the peasants. After the February Revolution in Petrograd in 1917, the village community made demands to take land from landowners and wealthy peasants. A land committee was established in the east of the town. The committee's activities developed especially after the October Revolution. He was guided in his activities by the "Temporary Rules for the Regulation of Land Relations", approved on November 27–30, 1917 at the 1st Kherson Plenipotentiary Provincial Congress of Land Committees. Bolshevik-minded peasants demanded the division of land in accordance with Lenin's decree. On February 23, 1918, the Kherson governorate peasant congress decided to transfer all power to the Soviets, deciding to abolish county and volosny zemstvos. At the same time, the Council of Peasant Deputies was elected in Marianske, which included S. I. Kalchenko, V. I. Mikhno, A. V. Katran, M. S. Nedrenko, headed by G. I. Tkalich. At the end of March 1918, after the occupation of the village by German-Austrian troops, many village activists — V. N. Semka, I. E. Tishchenko, T. I. Kalchenko, P. I. Bezpaly and others joined partisan detachments. After the end of the Austro-German occupation, the village was occupied by the troops of Symon Petliura, but in early 1919 Marianske came under the control of the Red Army. Soviet authorities were restored in the village, which began to implement the agrarian laws of the Soviet government. The work on the distribution of land was started by the land commission, headed by 3. E. Tokar. On March 8, 1919, the Congress of Soviets of 13 volosts of Kherson area allocated an additional 7328 dessiatinas of land in Mykhailivska and Novovorontsovskaya volosts to Marianska volost. In May 1919, the village was captured by soldiers of ataman Grigoriev. In
