About
Siversk is a town in northern Donetsk Oblast, east of Sloviansk. Dolomite mining and processing shaped its economy, and older records identify it by the former name Yama.
Notes
Renamed from Yama to Siversk in 1973. Russian Seversk is ambiguous with the much larger city in Russia; the country and region are essential. Record certainty includes transliteration and alias coverage; formal system outputs are not all attested press forms.
