After the Second Partition of Poland, in 1793–1917, it was a town in the Podolian Governorate of the Russian Empire. Industrial peak of the town was on the 1870s, when 54 factories were working and close trade relations were between Dunaivtsi and Kyiv, Warsaw, Chişinău, Kharkiv, Poltava, Kherson, Łódź, YarmolyntsiTemplate:Source?. Between 1917 and 1920, it was at various times under Ukrainian, Polish and Soviet control.

During World War II, the town was occupied by the Germans from July 1941 until last days of March 1944. During the occupation, the Germans carried out executions of the Jews. A witness interviewed by Yahad-In Unum described one of these executions, stating, "The Germans gathered 700 Jews of Demyankovtsy. They took them into the mine where the water rose until their knees. Afterwards, the entrance was exploded and Jews were suffocated inside."[4]
