If you watched the news lately and had seen some coverage on Ukraine, you probably have seen some armed men. Most of those I think come from Donetsk region. The “capital” of this area is city of Donetsk – an almost one million people sized city. The main theme of the region might be called coal mining – Donetsk itself hosts main offices of coal mines and region gives work to thousands of people involved in this business. They have an official symbol of Donetsk – a figure of a coal miner and the local football club was called “Coal-miner”.
And now a set of pictures from Donetsk 1962. Totally different time, Donetsk is already a center for coal mining, of Ukraine and important coal mining supply for the whole Soviet Union.
