My city (Donetsk)

Donetsk is my native city where I live. It is the center of Donbass. My city is over a century. It sprang up in 1859 near the metallurgical plant. At that time it was called Yusovka after the English capitalist J.Huse .

Before the revolution it was a little settlement with dirty streets and single storied houses.

Now Donetsk is a big industrial center, good planned and very beautiful. It is called a city of roses. Its population is over one million.

There are more than 200 industrial enterprises in Donetsk. Coal is the main source of its economy. The miners, metallurgists, builders, workers of light and food industries work in the close contact with scientists. There are more than 20 scientific, research and designing institutes of Donetsk.

The Donetsk State University, the Donetsk State Technical University, Medical Academy and some other higher schools train specialists for economy.

Donetsk has a lot of cultural establishments too. Everybody knows the Drama and Opera Theatres; the Philarmonic Society, the Picture Gallery and museums, the Public Library named after Krupskaya.

There are 3 large stadiums and some places of sport in our city. Not only republic but also some international competitions are held in our city.

The citizens of Donetsk do all their best to make the city more beautiful.
