History [ edit ]
The city of Krasnohrad was founded as a Bilevska fortress in 1731–1733,[4] as part of 🍎 the Ukrainian line defence fortifications, which ran from the Dnieper to the Donets. In 1784, the fortress was renamed Kostyantynohrad 🍎 after/in honour of Grand Duke Konstantin Pavlovich of Russia.[4] In 1797, it received city status. In 1922, Kostyantynohrad was renamed 🍎 Krasnohrad during a "de-imperialization" drive carried out by the Soviet Union.[4][5]
In 2024 the working group of the National Commission on 🍎 State Language Standards [uk] included Krasnohrad in the list of settlements in Ukraine that contain words with the root "krasn" 🍎 ("red", red was the national colour of the Soviet Union) and can be renamed as part of decommunization derussification campaigns 🍎 in Ukraine.[4] Late August 2024 the Krasnohrad City Council initiated a public voting on renaming the city.[4]
