Kypuche

Kypuche (Ukrainian: Кипуче; Russian: Кипучее, romanized: Kipucheye) or Artemivsk (Ukrainian: Артемівськ; Russian: Артёмовск, romanized: Artyomovsk) is a city in Alchevsk urban hromada, Alchevsk Raion, Luhansk Oblast (region), Ukraine.

During the times of the Soviet Union, it was renamed Artemivsk after the Bolshevik figure Comrade Artyom, and assigned to Perevalsk Raion.

The city has been under de-facto Russian control since the spring of 2014 as part of the Luhansk People's Republic (LPR).

[citation needed] On May 12, 2016, Ukraine's national parliament, the Verkhovna Rada, restored the name of Kypuche as part of the country's decommunization process.

It is a multiethnic city, with populations of Ukrainians, Russians, Belarusians, Tajiks, Armenians, Poles, and Jews, among other groups, living in it.
