Iryna, you still didn't answer why you removed the Russian name and the pronunciation of the river? Did you know that there a city which named after the river. Its name is Lugansk/Luhansk (Russian and Ukrainian variants). Maybe you didn't know, but the Donets Basin is a multilingual region. As one can see below, Britannica uses both variants of spelling the river's name:
“
Luhansk, Russian Lugansk, formerly (1935–58, 1970–89) Voroshilovgrad, Ukrainian Voroshylovhrad, city, eastern Ukraine. It lies along the Luhan (Lugan) River at the latter’s confluence with the Vilkhivka (Olkhovaya) River.
