Kalininskyi (Ukrainian: Калінінський; Russian: Калининский|Kalininsky), known officially as Kundriuche (Ukrainian: Кундрюче; Russian: Кундрючее|Kundryucheye) since 2016,[2] is a rural settlement in Dovzhansk urban hromada, Dovzhansk Raion (district) of Luhansk Oblast in Ukraine. Population:
It is located 15km (09miles) from Sverdlovsk, and 114km (71miles) from Luhansk. It has an elevation of 276m (906feet).[1]
Burial mounds from the 3rd century BC have been discovered at the site of the modern town.
The construction of Kalininskyi began in 1955 at the same time as the construction of the mines around it.[3]
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.[2] This name is derived from the Kundryuchya river.
As of 2001, it had a population of 1,934 people.[4] By 2022, the estimated population had shrunk to 1,643.
