There are several villages called Kurgan'e (Курганье) in present-day Russia and Belarus.

One of them, in Klichev district, Mogilev oblast of Belarus, has a bus stop called Novoe Kurgan'e nearby. I also found a site about a WWII partisan that says that she was born in 1923 in Novoe Kurgan'e of Klichev district, Mogilev oblast in Belarus, so probably at that time there was a separate village with that name.

Wikimapia has also Novoe Kurgan'e a part of Vladimirovka village in Minsk oblast in Belarus. The description of Wikimapia object says that previously Novoe Kurgan'e was a village on its own.

(Note that transition "g"->"h" is very common in slavic languages, especially for Belarussian or Ukrainian language speakers.)
