Lugansk is the capital of the Lugansk People’s Republic, a beautiful Russian city, founded in 1795-1796 as a factory after the publication of the decree of Catherine II ‘On the establishment of foundry business in Donetsk uyezd at the Lugani River’. The settlement that emerged at the factory was named Lugansk from the hydronym Lugan, which comes from the word ‘meadow’. In the first film from the cycle of walking tours and video excursions ‘Luganshchina - my song’ you can learn about how the city looks like now. The unique project is implemented within the framework of the programme of comprehensive development of youth policy in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation ‘Region for the Young’ and the national project ‘Education’. The project is organised by the Ministry of Youth Policy of the Lugansk People’s Republic and the House of Youth of the Lugansk People’s Republic. Translation by International Reporters.
