Zolote (Ukrainian: Золотé, Russian: Золотóе) is a town in Popasna Raion, Luhansk Oblast (region) of Ukraine. Population: 13,203 (2021 est.)[1]. The town consists of villages that were merged to create Zolote.[2] Currently these villages are numbered in a sequence from Zolote 1 to Zolote 5.[2][3] Before the creation of Zolote they were named Karbonit, Rodina, Stakhanovets, Maryvka and Partyzansky.[3]

During the War in Donbass the Ukrainian authorities lost control over parts of Zolote to the self proclaimed Luhansk People's Republic (LPR).[2][3] Zolote-5 (formally named Maryvka) became under full control of the LPR.[3] Zolote-4 (Patrizansky) and Zolote-3 (Stakhanovets) became situated in the "gray zone" between the warring parties.[3] On 30 June 2018 the Ukrainian army took full control of Zolote-4,[4][2][3] although Ukrainian activists stated that the village takeover was staged, as according to them Ukrainian soldiers had been in the zone since 2014.[5]

On 7 October 2014, to facilitate the governance of Luhansk Oblast, the Verkhovna Rada made some changes in the administrative divisions, so that the localities in the government-controlled areas were grouped into districts. In particular, the towns of Hirske and Zolote and the urban-type settlements of and were transferred from Pervomaisk Municipality to Popasna Raion.[6]
