History
In 1962, Petrovske was made subordinate to the municipality of Krasnyi Luch.[1] Petrovske was granted city status in 1963.[2]
In 2014, Petrovske was taken over by the proxy Luhansk People's Republic (LPR) during the war in Donbas,[3] and has since been under de facto Russian occupation.[4] In April 2015, Petrovske was the sight of intra-rebel infighting, with either LPR proxy forces or actual Russian special forces attempting to violently expel formerly allied Cossack separatists from the city.[5] In 2016, as part of decommunization in Ukraine, Petrovske was renamed to Petrovo-Krasnosillia by the Ukrainian government.[6] However, due to the occupation of the city by Russia, it is still often referred to by the communist-era name.[4][7] In 2020, Ukraine enacted administrative reforms that officially designated the city as part of Khrustalnyi urban hromada, Rovenky Raion.[8][9]
Economy
Petrovske has a factory that makes concrete products, along with other industrial enterprises.[2]
