Alchevsk

The city extends across 49 square kilometers of plain terrain near the Bila River, with railways and highways intersecting its central area.

Established in 1895 around an iron works facility, the settlement grew into a major metallurgical center under the leadership of Oleksiy Alchevsky.

The Palace of Culture of Metallurgists stands as a central venue for numerous events, alongside six museums and three theaters in the city.

The M-04 Highway and Debaltseve-Luhansk railway line provide transportation connections to neighboring regions, supporting industrial operations.

In 2006, the city experienced a complete failure of its district heating system during extreme winter conditions, affecting the entire population.
