Myrnohrad (Ukrainian: Мирноград, pronounced [mɪrnoˈɦrɑd] ; Russian: Мирноград, romanizedMirnograd), formerly Dymytrov until 2016,[a] is a city in Donetsk Oblast, eastern Ukraine. It was a city of regional significance before the status was abolished in 2020. Population: 46,098 (2022 estimate).[1] 1,658 (2024 estimate).[2]

The city was previously named after Georgi Dimitrov, a prominent Bulgarian and Soviet communist politician, but was renamed in 2016 as a result of decommunization laws.[3]
