the centre of coal-mining industry.
The city was founded in 1869 by a businessman, John Hughes and it was named Yuzovka.
From 1924 to 1961 it was called Stalino, and only in 1961 it became Donetsk.
The city is situated on the river Kalmius. It is very famous for its waste banks.
My city is very nice and clean. It is called the city of roses.
There are many beautiful parks, 3 theatres, 2 museums, a modern aqua park, an interesting planetarium, many cinemas and a circus in the city.
Donetsk is famous for its sportsmen,too. It has got the best stadium, called Donbass Arena. It is a new stadium with a natural grass pitch.
I`m proud of my city and I like it very much.
