Artemivsk (Ukrainian: Артемівськ, translit.: Artemivs’k, Russian: Артёмовск) is a city in Perevalsk Raion of Luhansk Oblast in eastern Ukraine. Population: 7,203 (2021 est.)[1], 7,506 (2013 est.)[2].
History[]
The city was founded as Katerynivka (Ukrainian: Катеринівка) village in 1910 close to the railway station of Kypyche (Vigorous). Its name was changed to Artema in 1923 and to Artemivsk in 1938.
Since 2014, Artemivsk has been controlled by forces of the Luhansk People's Republic.[3]
On May 12, 2016 Ukraine's national parliament, the Verkhovna Rada, decided to name the city Kypuche (Ukrainian: Кипуче),[4][5] although the Ukrainian government does not control the breakaway region and as such the rename is not recognized locally.
Economy[]
Its major industry is coal mining. Southeast of Artemivsk, there is Donbass-750 an important node in the power grid.
