Myrnohrad (Ukrainian: Мирноград, pronounced [mɪrnoˈɦrɑd]; Russian: Мирноград, romanized: Mirnograd), formerly Dymytrov (Ukrainian: Димитров, Russian: Димитров, romanized: Dimitrov), is a city in Donetsk Oblast (province) of Ukraine. It was a city of regional significance before the status was abolished in 2020. Population: 46,098 (2022 estimate).[1]
The city was previously named after Georgi Dimitrov (Bulgarian: Георги Димитров) - a prominent Bulgarian and Soviet communist politician, but was renamed to Myrnohrad during decommunisation in May 2016.[2]
Unlike in most bigger cities in Donetsk Oblast, the separatist Donetsk People's Republic 11 May 2014 referendum on independence was not held in the city.[3]
