Dovzhansk, Industrial center in Luhansk Oblast, Ukraine
Located near the Russian border at an elevation of 268 meters, Dovzhansk contains twelve coal mines and four coal enrichment facilities in eastern Ukraine.
The settlement emerged in 1701 and underwent multiple name changes, from Dovzhykove-Orlovske to Sharapkyne, before receiving city status in 1962 as Sverdlovsk.
The population of 62,691 residents maintains industrial traditions through generations of workers in coal mining, metalworking, and machine-building sectors.
The city functions as the administrative center for both Dovzhansk urban hromada and Dovzhansk Raion, providing essential services to surrounding communities.
In 2016, the city changed its name from Sverdlovsk to Dovzhansk as part of Ukraine's national program to remove Soviet-era place names.
