Antratsyt (Ukrainian and Russian: Антрацит) is a city in Rovenky Raion, Luhansk Oblast (region), Ukraine.

[2] Evidence from archeological finds and burial mounds from as early as 30,000 BC indicates the Saltovo-Mayaki were Antratsyt's earliest ancestors.

In 1920, the disparate villages and mines in the area were united into an urban-type settlement named Bokove-Antratsyt, which was assigned to the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic.

[5] It served as the centre of Antratsyt Municipality which included the settlements: Bokovo-Platov, Berhny Nagolchik, Dubovsky, Krepensky, Schetovo, Kamenny, and Shahta Tsentralnaya.

[citation needed] In 2014, Antratsyt was taken over by the Luhansk People's Republic (LPR), a separatist militant group that served as a proxy for the Russian Federation.

In May 2014, the BBC reported that the city was turning into a "hub" for materiel and Cossack fighters brought in from neighboring Rostov Oblast in Russia.

A local, speaking to the BBC, reported that "relentless" propaganda was instilling the idea in the population "that the Russians are coming to help the separatists fight Ukrainian 'fascists'".

[2] In July 2020, Antratsyt was incorporated into the newly created Rovenky Raion, although the pro-Russian occupation authorities do not recognize this new status.

[citation needed] On 14 October 2023, the General Staff of the Ukrainian army announced that they had destroyed large amounts of Russian material in a strike on Antrasyt.

The Church of Alexander Nevsky in the outskirt village Bokovo-Platov is considered an architectural monument as it was built in 1954 and survived damage when outlawed by the Soviets.
