Zalizne (Ukrainian: Залізне, IPA: [zɐˈl⁽ʲ⁾izne]), formerly Artemove (Ukrainian: Артемове; Russian: Артёмово), is a city in Bakhmut Raion, Donetsk Oblast, Ukraine. It is part of the Toretsk urban hromada. Population: 4,928 (2022 estimate);[1] 6,725 (2001).
On 19 May 2016, Artemove was renamed to Zalizne, conforming to the law prohibiting names of communist origin.[2]
History
[edit]Zalizne is known since 1894 as Neliptyvskyi Khutir. In July 1905, miners of the Neliptyvskyi Mine (later named the Artem Mine) organized a strike, involving over 100 miners. In April 1916, more than 5,000 workers went on strike at the Neliptyvskyi Mine. Soviet authority was established in 1917, and M.I. Dubovyi was elected as the head of the council of workers' deputies.[3]
Russo-Ukrainian War
