Slovianoserbsk (Template:Langx; or Slavianoserbsk, Template:Langx) is a rural settlement in Zymohiria urban hromada, Alchevsk Raion (district), Luhansk Oblast (region), Ukraine, on the Donets river.[1] Its population is Template:Ua-pop-est2022, Template:Ua-pop-est2013
History
The settlement was founded by Orthodox Christian settlers from the Balkans as part of the Slavo-Serbia colony in 1753.[2][1] It was originally a military settlement known as Pidhirne (Template:Langx; Template:Langx), its purpose to protect the southern frontier of the Russian Empire from Tatars. It was granted town status in 1784 and renamed to Donetske (Template:Langx; Template:Langx).[1] It was the county seat of Donets county from 1764 to 1796.[2]
In 1817, due to frequent floods, the town was moved, and renamed to Slovianoserbsk.[1] Also in 1817 it became again a county seat, and both the town and county were renamed to Slavianoserbsk. In 1870, the town had a population of 3,156. It hosted three annual fairs in the late 19th century.[2]
A local newspaper has been published in the city since March 1939.[3] During World War II, in 1942–1943, the German occupiers operated a prison in the town.[4] In 1964, Slovianoserbsk received urban-type settlement designation, and in 1966 it became the center of Slovianoserbsk Raion.[1]
Since 2014, Slovianoserbsk has been controlled by the separatist troops of the Luhansk People's Republic and their Russian supporters.[5] In 2020, the Ukrainian government abolished Slovianoserbsk Raion, and now considers the town to be part of Alchevsk Raion. However, the internationally unrecognised Luhansk People's Republic continues to use the pre-2020 administrative divisions of Ukraine.
Demographics
According to the 2001 census in Ukraine, the town had 61.72% Russian speakers and 37.54% Ukrainian speakers.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
