Myrnohrad
Myrnohrad (Ukrainian: Мирноград, pronounced [mɪrnoˈɦrɑd] ⓘ; Russian: Мирноград, romanized: Mirnograd), formerly Dymytrov until 2016, is a city in Donetsk Oblast, eastern Ukraine. It was a city of regional significance before the status was abolished in 2020. Population: 46,098 (2022 estimate). 1,658 (2024 estimate).
The city was previously named after Georgi Dimitrov, a prominent Bulgarian and Soviet communist politician, but was renamed in 2016 as a result of decommunization laws.
The historical predecessors of the city of Myrnohrad were two mining settlements formed near coal mines - Novoekonomichne (1911) and Hrodivka (1916). These two settlements were built in the early twentieth century on land leased from the rural communities of Novoekonomichne and Hrodivka villages. In 1934, mine No. 5-6 (Hrodivka mine) was named after Georgi Dimitrov.
From October 1941 to September 1942, the city was under the occupation of Nazi Germany during World War II.
In 1966, probably as a result of prolonged heavy rains, a part of the mine 5/6 mine terricone in Myrnohrad collapsed, completely demolishing buildings on Sadova, Zhdanov, and Rozynska streets. Everyone who was in the buildings and nearby was killed. The authorities then hid the tragedy from the public.
In 1972, the mining villages of Novoekonomichne and Dymytriv were united under the common name of Dymytriv. This mining town was named after the Bulgarian politician, the first communist ruler of Bulgaria, Georgi Dimitrov, in honor of his friendship with the Bulgarian people, whose representatives worked in the mines in the 1960s. In August 1990, Dimitrov was granted the status of a city of regional significance.[citation needed]

Unlike in most of the larger cities in Donetsk Oblast, an unrecognized independence referendum in May 2014 was not held in the city.
