Geography

Irmino is located 55 km west of Luhansk. It is part of the agglomeration Alchevsk-Kadiivka, in Donbas. It is located on the banks of the river Lougan.

History

Irmino was the first village of Petrovka/Petrivka (in Ukrainian: Петрівка) founded in 1808 on the right bank of the Lugan by peasants from the Poltava region and renamed Irminka in 1898, or Irmino (Ірміно) around 1910, after the coal mine named after Irma, daughter of the mine owner. In 1936, the village achieved city status and took on the name Teplohirsk in 1977. On July 8, 2010 the town was renamed Irmino.

It was in Irmino, at the “Tsentralno-Irmino” mine, where he had been working since 1927, that Alexey Stakhanov managed to extract 102 t (100 long tons; 112 short tons) of coal, i.e. 14 times the norm, on the night of August 30 to August 31, 1935. At the time, the village of Irmino depended on Kadiivka, and Stakhanov's registration would have been made at the Tsentralnaya-Irmino mine in Kadyivka.
