About
Slovianoserbsk is a settlement near the Siverskyi Donets River in Ukraine's Luhansk Oblast. Its name recalls the eighteenth-century Slavo-Serbian military settlement project.
Notes
Slovianoserbsk derives from the Slavo-Serbian military-settlement project. Early Pidhirne/Podgornoye and Donetske/Donetskoye refer to phases of the settlement’s history; Donetskoye here is not modern Donetsk city. Standard-derived alternatives are retrieval aids, not claims of press frequency.
