Geography

edit

Chervonohvardiiske is located 13 kilometres (8.1 mi) from Kirovsk, Luhansk Oblast, and 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) from the railway station at Sentianivka.[4]

History

edit

The settlement was founded as Krynychanske in 1948 in connection with the "Krynychanska-Pivdenna" coal mine. It was subordinated to the nearby city Kirovsk. In 1953, Krynychanske was renamed to Krasnohvardeisk.[c] In 1965, it was renamed again, to Chervonohvardiiske.[4]

During the war in Donbas, Chervonohvardiiske was taken over by the Luhansk People's Republic (LPR), an unrecognized breakaway state widely described as a Russian puppet state.[3] In 2016, though it was still occupied by the LPR, the city was renamed Krynychanske by the Ukrainian government as part of decommunization in Ukraine.[5][3]

On 12 June 2020, in accordance with nationwide administrative reforms, Krynychanske, along with all other settlements subordinated to the Kirovsk city council,[d] was nominally assigned to Kadiivka urban hromada by the Ukrainian government.[6] On 17 July the same year, Kadiivka urban hromada was reassigned to the newly created Alchevsk Raion.[7]

Economy

edit

According to official Soviet-era sources, the average daily output of the Krynychanska-Pivdenna coal mine, located in the town, was 650 tons of coal. The Luhansk Winery is also located in the town.[4]
