Myrnohrad (Ukrainian: Мирноград, Russian: Мирноград), formerly Dymytrov (Ukrainian: Димитров, Russian: Димитров), is a city of oblast significance in Donetsk Oblast (province) of Ukraine. Population: 49,646 (2013 est.)[1].
The city was previously named after Georgi Dimitrov (Bulgarian: Георги Димитров) - a prominent Bulgarian and Soviet communist politician, but was renamed to Myrnohrad during decommunisation in May 2016.[2]
Unlike in most bigger cities in Donetsk Oblast, the separatist Donetsk People's Republic 11 May 2014 referendum on independence was not held in the city.[3]
