history

Antrazyt was founded in the 1930s as Bokowo-Antrazit near the Cossack town of Bokowo , the current name became official in 1962. Anthracite takes its name from the extensive occurrence of high-quality anthracite coal. In the 1970s there were extensive efforts to improve the problematic environmental situation by large-scale afforestation of steppe land. Antrazit was hit particularly hard by the economic decline of Ukraine in the 1990s , as all industrial operations and almost all coal mines were given up. This situation has only improved somewhat in recent years.

The city has been under the control of the internationally unrecognized People's Republic of Lugansk since 2014 and, according to the Ukrainian government, belongs to an area in which the organs of state power temporarily do not exercise their powers.
