The village of Molotitsy was first mentioned in inventories in 1629-30. The origin of the village name is interpreted in two ways: according to one version, it is because they "threshed" here, according to the second - from the word "moloditsi": according to legend, during the Tatar raids, young women were hidden here in the "Moloditskie meadows" growing near the village. In 1754, the landowner Sergei Glebovsky built a stone church in Malotitsy instead of a wooden one.
