notes

The legal restoration of Alchevsk dates to 16 May 1992, resolution 2361-XII: https://zakon.rada.gov.ua/laws/show/2361-12. Some accounts use 1991, the year of a local vote; the parliamentary legal index confirms 1992: https://zakon.rada.gov.ua/laws/main/en/j84y1992. This was not a 2016 decommunization renaming. Some alternatives are explicitly standard-derived retrieval forms, not individually attested press spellings; this contributes to medium certainty.
