History

The History of the Donetsk coal basin began in 1700 with the decree by Peter I to search for ore deposits, leading to the development of Lyschansk- "the cradle of Donbass (Донбасс)". This type of coal mining lead to "pit heaps"- piles of rocks on the surface in the shape of large pyramids.

The territory of Lysychansk, like other lands in the area, since the Mongol-Tatar invasion until Mid 18th century had not been settled. On the left bank of the Seversky Donets River were the river towns of Borovsky, Trehizbensky and others, settled by educated runaway peasants of 18th century. These communities were suppressed and destroyed during the Bulavin Uprising started by the decree of Peter I. They reappeared only after two or three decades. Not destroyed, but moved to other areas (see map Boplana 1825), was Voronovo (Вороново) (founded by Khokhlova Coassacks), Syrotyne (Сиротино) (Popov and Sirotina Cossacks), Borovenki (Боровеньки) (partly settled by Borovschan after the burning of the settlement Bohr), Metelkina (Метелкино) (Metelnikova Cossacks) and Smolyaninovo (Смоляниново) (Smolkina Cossacks).
