Donetsk Oblast (Ukrainian: Доне́цька о́бласть, Donets'ka oblast', also referred to as Donechchyna, Ukrainian: Донеччина Donechchyna, Russian: Доне́цкая о́бласть, Donetskaya oblast [dɐˈnʲɛtskəjə ˈobɫəsʲtʲ]) is an oblast (province) of eastern Ukraine. It is the most populated oblast, with around 4.5 million residents. Its administrative center is Donetsk; however, its Regional State Administration was temporarily relocated to Mariupol because of the ongoing crisis in Donetsk. Historically, the region is an important part of the Donbas region. Until November 1961, it bore the name Stalino Oblast as Donetsk was then named "Stalino", in honour of Joseph Stalin.

Reviewed By ArneBaardD - Rome, Italy

I have visited Ukraine many times and also lived not that far away from the Monastery of the Caves. The Monastery itself is for sure one of the most beautiful in Ukraine. In addition, you will find opportunities to swim in the river, getting a tan if you like, and also renting small boats. Places to stay the night are available. And for sure you need to visit the Monastery. If you buy a ticket to walk through the tunnel and up to the top of the Mountain, be sure to have proper footwear, sneakers are great. Also inside this compound, you will find an area with lots of different birds on display. On top of the mountain, close by, is the enormous Monument to Artem, a statue of a man in white marble. It is possible to get up there if you like. If you are in Kramatorsk, you can easily reach this area. I would recommend taking a taxi from the railway station. Rent the car and the driver for some hours, for sure less than a hundred euros. It is well worth it!
