Sokolohirsk, Mining city in Luhansk Oblast, Ukraine

Pervomaisk extends along the banks of the Luhan River, with six coal mines and industrial facilities covering the urban landscape.

The settlement emerged in 1765 as Aleksandrovka village, later transforming into Petro-Maryevka before receiving its current name in 1920.

The population traditionally centered around mining activities, with generations of families working in the local coal extraction industry.

The city infrastructure requires extensive repairs due to military conflicts, with limited access to basic utilities and public transportation.

Local residents maintain communal food distribution centers, providing sustenance to approximately 20,000 inhabitants who remained in the city.
