Chervonopartyzansk

The city is located in southeastern Luhansk Oblast in the middle of the main Donets drainage divide that separates the watershed of Velyka Kamianka to the north from watersheds of Kundryucha and Burhusta rivers to the south.

To the north the city is passed by Debaltseve–Zverevo railway line. Train station Krasna Mohyla is located within the city limits

In the 1930s, large deposits of anthracite were discovered in the area. The first mine #63 was built during the World War II (1944) and in 1947 Chervonyi Partyzan Coal Mine was founded. Its projected capacity was 2.5 thousands tonnes of fossil fuel per day.

In 1949-1955 next to Chervonyi Partyzan, Provallya #1 and Provallya #2 were built. In 1956 these mines yielded 2.3 thousand tonnes of anthracite for Sverdlovskvuhillya Corporation.

In September 1956 Voznesenivka, Novomykolaivka, Krasna Mohyla train station, and a residential neighborhood of the Chervonyi Partyzan Mine united into the urban-type settlement of Chervonopartyzansk. In 1956 more mines were built.

A Komsomol campaign brought more than 2,000 young people from Odesa and Chernivtsi Oblasts and Moldavia to build five mines on the northern slope of Burhustyn gulch.

In 2014, Chervonopartyzansk was taken over by the rogue Luhansk People's Republic.[2] In July 2014, the city was the scene of fighting during the war in Donbas.[3]

In 2016 the city was renamed Voznesenivka (Ukrainian: Вознесенівка) due to decommunization.
