The Donetsk region is situated to the east, south-east of Ukraine. Also known as Donbass - Coal Region. It shares borders with Luhansk, Kharkiv, Dnipropetrovsk, Zaporizhia region in the south - the state border of the Rostov region of Russia. The easternmost part of all that they have access to the sea. Sea of Azov.
The biggest part of the population (about 4.7 million inhabitants) is not even in the top ten on the size of the territory (26,500 square kilometers), as a consequence - the highest population density in the territory of Ukraine. Mostly urban, a large number of cities with populations over 200,000 people.
The history of education and population similar to Lugano , with the only difference being that the extraction of coal and salt are started much earlier, resulting in a large number of settlers in search of work. We should also note the Cossacks as a Zaporozhian Sich and the Don, which sometimes settled to live on this territory. Favorable conditions for the development of ferrous metallurgy have also played an important role in the development area.
At the heart of the budget - the industry. Very well developed two industries - coal mining and metallurgy. One of the most, if not the most, powerful, both economically and in terms of the industrial regions of Ukraine. Everywhere the visible waste heaps and smokestacks. Some of the biggest companies - Gorlovka chemical plant of the concern "Styrene", Mariupol Ilyich Iron and Steel Works, Inc. "Donetskugol." The area is also characterized by an extensive transportation network, while the share of agriculture that is dominated by crop production, significantly lower.
The base area is a ridge of Donbass, which suggests that the region is located on high ground with respect to sea level. Climatic and geographic location of the region - the steppe-forest-steppe with a corresponding moderate-continental climate. The richest mineral deposits, ranging from coal and gas to iron ore and rare earth metals. Mined as rock salt, different minerals.
Flora and fauna is quite extensive and to zone the location of the area, found a number of animals and plants listed as endangered. On the territory of nature reserves and wildlife sanctuaries are not uncommon, some of the most famous - Reserve "Stone Grave" and "Khomutovskaya steppe." Among the predominant soil humus, which is conducive to agriculture. Fresh water resources are vast pool of small rivers, the largest of which is the Seversky Donets. As mentioned above, the southern part of the region bordering the Sea of Azov, which is one of the most warm and shallow, which is especially attractive for families of people with children. Pearl of the Sea of Azov coast - the city Berdyansk.
Year of education can be considered in 1932, although certainly this assertion can be challenged. It is equally amusing and history of Donetsk in this regard. Not only is he - the youngest of the regional city of Ukraine (founded 1869), and Donetsk, he was just in 1961, before carrying their proud name Yuzivka (in honor of the founder of the John Hughes), and then - Stalin. Now Donetsk - City-millionaire, one of the most successful developing cities in Ukraine.
