History
On October 8, 2014 it was announced about creation of the party. Boris Litvinov who previously was the headed of a regional branch of the Communist Party of Ukraine in the Kirovsky District, Donetsk[5][2] was proclaimed chairman of the party. In May 2014 Boris Litvinov being a member of the Communist Party of Ukraine also was a member of the Borodai's government.[2] In July through October 2014 Litvinov also headed the People's Soviet of self declared republic.[2] After his dismissal from the post of chairman of People's Soviet, there were rumors that Litvinov was even briefly arrested, yet Litvnov himself denied them.[2]
Litvinov said the Communists would support Alexander Zakharchenko, current Prime Minister of Donetsk People's Republic, to win the Donbass general elections, 2014 for premiership. The Communists have endorsed Prime Minister Alexander Zakharchenko’s candidature at the 2 November elections for premiership.[4] In these elections the Communists were banned from participating because it "made too many mistakes" in its submitted documents.[6] According to some Russian media, the final party's lists were edited in Moscow.[2] Selected members were allowed to be on the party list for the Donetsk Party.[2] To the Soviet were elected only three members of the political organization and included Boris Litvinov, Vadim Zaibert, and Nikolai Ragozin.[2]
In 2016 the process of decommunization in Ukraine touched the self-declared DPR and all communist members of the people's Soviet lost their mandates due to "loss of confidence".[2]
