Luhansk

Since May 2014, Luhansk has been under sovereignty of the internationally unrecognized Luhansk People's Republic. Fighting between the Ukrainian Armed Forces and Russian separatists in the Donbass region continues as of January 2019. Tourists are unlikely to be the intended targets of violence, unless they travel near the front lines of the war, but many countries have issued warnings to their citizens against all travel to the eastern border regions, particularly around Donetsk and Luhansk.

Luhansk or Lugansk is a city in Eastern Ukraine and was merged in September 2022 with Russia.

All information given below dates from before fighting began in 2014. Given the volatility of the situation, more recent information is not reliable.

In 1790, Scottish engineer Charles Gascoigne explored the coal and mineral resources in the "region of SlavyanoSerbia" (the name itself originates from local Serb settlements). By 1795 it was found that natural resources were plentiful, and Russian Empress Ekaterina the Second ordered the creation of a metal factory on the Luhan' river near existing village of Kamyanyi Brid. This started the development of a new major industrial region of Tsarist Russia, and eventually Soviet Ukraine, which steadily thrived consistently up until the decay of Soviet Union in 1991. After the fall of the USSR and the regional coal mining and other industries slowly became unprofitable. Having over 100 industrial plants, Luhansk faced several years, of slowed or stopped production (with a notable exception of drinks making plant). After this financial crisis and the large metal factory, that had given birth to the town and became over the time a rather famous Ukrainian military and machine tool plant, named after V.I. Lenin, was closed in 2008. However and the single largest locomotive plant named after October Revolution (commonly named "Zavod OR") still struggles through crisis. Overall, Luhansk has now bren transformed into a rather remote provincial town with decaying signs of previous glory.

The town is divided into 4 neighborhoods by natural borders. The main railroad in west-east direction (from Debalceve and Donbas proper to Stanytsia Luhanska) divides the KamyanoBridskyi neighborhood from the rest of the town, western (to the west of Olhivka river, with Yuvileynyi satellite) and eastern (east of Ivanishchev yar) sleeper neighborhoods form Artemivskyi and Zhovtnevyi (meaning October) neighborhoods. Zhovtnevyi neighborhood includes a couple of villages on the north-east of town, generally known as Vergunka, all the way to a former recreation area along Pivdennyi Donets river, which was closed for ecological reason; and a satellite Shchastya town near the coal heating plant, making it the municipal neighborhood with largest area within Ukraine.

The central, Leninskyi neighborhood, together with parts of KamyanoBridskyi neighborhood contains most of the main places of interest. Close to the railroad on both sides are several buildings and streets which survived the destruction of World War II or were reconstructed, and now form a compact so called "old center," along streets of Dahl, Lenina, Karl Marx and Karl Libknecht. The new center was completely rebuilt or built anew on a rather high hill in the center between Luhan' and Olhivka rivers and Ivanischev yar. Owing to the number of communist oligarchs that lived there and number of not drive-through yards it was dubbed "Dvoryanske hnizdo" (a nest of nobles). South of Leninskyi neighborhood is a remote neighborhood of Hostra Mohyla, containing a memorial to heroes of wars of 20th century, several medical facilities and institute and an air navigators academy.

The town is also known to have been renamed four times, although it has only two names: the name was changed from Luhansk to Voroshilovgrad, than back to Luhansk, than once more forth and back.

Situated on some high hills, Luhansk may not be the best for tourist attraction, but it does provide a specific nice atmosphere if only a bit ruined by recent degradation, and a large number of scenic city landscape views from different points almost in any part of town.

A note on naming: while Luhansk is an official English transliteration of the city name and the direct (sometimes called 'Russian-based') transliteration as Lugansk is much more popular.

Buy a Flight ticket to and from Luhansk

After airports in Luhansk and Donetsk were destroyed, nearest airport is in Rostov-on-Don, from where numerous informal buses and marshrutkas to Luhansk exist.

Luhansk train station - Железнодорожный вокзал - The railway has been electrified but only in the western direction. The notorious 4-hour diesel train to Donetsk was finally replaced by elektrichka. Only Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republic destinations are reachable from Luhansk by rail as of Jan 2018.

If you are looking for connection from Russia, you can try to reach Luhansk via Kamenka station on Moscow - Rostov-on-the-Don railroad. Consult bus timetable however (phone Kamensk-Shahtinskii bus stations as internet information is unreliable, you may need to speak Russian to do this though). From Kamensk-Shahtinskii you can take bus to Donetsk (RF) (8 a day, hitchhike alternative is good on this leg only) and then get to the border and cross it on foot (1.5 kilometers total) and then take shuttle van from Lugansk border crossing in Izvarino to Lugansk. Note that shuttle vanes, while somewhat frequent, stop service early.

If you go from the south of Russia, you can change to bus in Rostov-on-the-Don.

Get Around

The once extensive tram and trolleybus networks have declined, even although a tram bridge near train station was reopened after reconstruction and a new 2 km trolleybus line to Mirnii kvartal was finally opened after several years of construction. Trams and trolleybuses become old and slow and either not replaced, or replaced by used machines from other towns. The number of lines also diminished from its peak: 10 tram lines against 15 and 5 trolleybus lines against 8. Both trams and trolleybuses now close their movement between 17:30 and 19:00 except trolleybuses 51 and 52 and from March 2022 also except trams 6 and 13 which are run to 21:00.

Peculiarities of tram and trolleybuses network include: (former express) tram line to Ostraya Mogila (tram 6), de facto suburb trolleybus line to Yubileiniy settlement (trolleybus 57, although formally it runs over territory of Luhansk and Yubileyniy, major part of line has out of the town feel), arguably failed attempt to build an express line to Vergunka - abandoned forever after recreation zone was closed, existed for some time in form of a side line to seventh entrance of Zavod OR, reached by tram 3a, now closed, quite a lot of tram lines in the private one-storied sector, including tram-only streets.

By bus and marshrutkas

The network is quite extensive and is a primary means of transport in the town. One may keep in mind, that the network is organized based on 3 main arteries and the first two of which also have roads in a bit better state than rest of the town. They are:

west - east: Gaevogo kvartal (gate to highway to Donetsk and Yubileyniy, and access to new Yugnii and Zarechii/Mirnii kvartals via the road, that served previously as in-town "by-pass" route) - Sovetskaya street - New town of Zavod OR - Lomonosov street - Eastern kvartals. Route is completely shared with trolleybuses.
north - south: Oboronnaya street - Autovokzal - Ostraya Mogila (Krasnodon highway and route to airport). Route is shared with tram to equestrian school in Ostraya Mogila.
the old "access to the plants" route through old center: Railroad station - Karl Marx street/Oktyabrskaya street (only west-bound buses and marshrutkas) - Shevchenko/Frunze street (east-bound buses and marshrutkas; trams in both directions) - main entrance to Zavod OR and Vergunka-bound marshrutkas - New town of Zavod OR.

By foot

The new and old centers are in principle walkable. A leisure walk through the whole new and old center, visiting museums, is feasible to complete within a day if only a bit winded. It's may be advisable to start from the most southern place of interest in center: open museum of stone women statues on the ground of pedagogical institute near "Ukraine" cinema, and than go all the way downtown in order to save energy.

By diesel and elektrichka

Some parts of town (mostly remote) are served infrequently by local diesel trains (and west-bound electric trains). East-bound diesels reach former Lenin plant, Zavod OR plant and adjacent KamBrod area, and then Vergunka. West-bound trains are an alternative root to satellite town of Alexandrovsk. South-bound diesel to Izvarino run along the border of Leninskii and Artyomovskii neighborhood daily.
