Coal in the Time of conflict
05 Feb 2016
Since 2013, Ukraine has been enforcing "decommunization" - a process to rid the country of Soviet-era symbols. Remains of the country’s communist past are being torn down all around, from monuments to street names. Even the Red Star erected above the Pavlogradska coal preparation plant in the contested eastern Donbass region is coming down.
The facility, operated by DTEK – Ukraine’s largest private power company - is spending $25 million to upgrade the plant, one of the largest of its type in the country.
