Kalininskyi (Ukrainian: Калінінський; Russian: Калининский, romanized: Kalininsky), known officially as Kundriuche (Ukrainian: Кундрюче; Russian: Кундрючее, romanized: Kundryucheye) since 2016,[3] is an urban-type settlement in Dovzhansk Raion (district) in Luhansk Oblast in eastern Ukraine. Population: 1,643 (2022 estimate)[2]

Geography

It is located 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) from Sverdlovsk, and 114 kilometres (71 mi) from Luhansk.[4][5] It has an elevation of 276 metres (906 ft).[1]

History

Burial mounds from the 3rd century BC have been discovered at the site of the modern town.[4]

The construction of Kalininskyi began in 1955 at the same time as the construction of the mines around it.[5][4]

During the war in Donbas that began in 2014, Kalininskyi was taken over by forces loyal to the Luhansk People's Republic (LPR), a Russian puppet state. In 2016, the Ukrainian parliament issued a decree renaming the settlement to Kundriuche as part of wider efforts of decommunization in Ukraine.[3] This name is derived from the Kundryuchya river.
