Azov (Russian and Ukrainian: Азов), previously known as Dzerzhynske (Ukrainian: Дзержинське), is a village[1] in Novoazovsk Raion of Donetsk Oblast of eastern Ukraine,[2] [3] The village is located 124 km SSE of Donetsk city center.
Azov was captured by Donetsk People's Republic forces during the war in Donbas.[4]
In 2016, the Ukrainian parliament approved renaming the village to Azov as part of decommunization.[5] However, since the separatists with actual control of the village do not recognize this name change, this renaming has not yet gone into effect.
The settlement had 209 inhabitants in 2001; native language distribution as of the Ukrainian Census of 2001:[6]
59.33%
