## About

Kypuche is a small mining city near Alchevsk in Ukraine's Luhansk Oblast. It grew around coal mines and was known as Artemivsk before its Ukrainian name changed in 2016.

## Notes

Artemivsk replaced by Kypuche under Ukrainian decommunization in May 2016. Russian and occupation sources retain Artyomovsk. This is not Bakhmut, another city formerly called Artemivsk. Founding dates differ between 1910 and 1911; neither is repeated in the description. https://zakon.rada.gov.ua/laws/show/1351-19 Standard-derived forms are retrieval aids, not claims of English prose frequency.
