Donetsk is the unofficial capital of Eastern Ukraine|Donets Basin (Donbass) region and the most industrialized part of the nation, and as with the surrounding region, it is mostly populated by local Russians, who consistently favour pro-Russian candidates in the elections.

It was also around this time the local steel industry — which was expanded during the Soviet period — was first established.
