Telmanove (Ukrainian: Тельманове; Russian: Тельманово) is an urban settlement (town) in Donetsk Oblast (province), located in the industrial region of the Donets Basin. It was officially renamed Boikivske (Ukrainian: Бойкiвске; Russian: Бойковское) by the Verkhovna Rada in 2016.[1] Until 1935 it was known as Ostheim (Osthaim) and then renamed after the German Communist Ernst Thälmann. According to the Ukrainian authorities, it was the administrative seat of Telmanove Raion until its abolition in 2020, and is now part of Kalmiuske Raion. According to the Russian authorities, which control the settlement, Telmanove Raion was never abolished and continues to exist. Population: 4,250 (2021 est.)[2]
After elimination of all Germans from the territory during World War II, the village was resettled by Boykos deported from territories that were transferred by Soviet Union to Poland in 1951 (see 1951 Polish–Soviet territorial exchange).[3]
Telmanove has since 2014 been administered as a part of the de facto Donetsk People's Republic. Pro-Russian separatists seized the town backed by Russian military forces in August 2014 as part of the war in Donbas.[4]
