Molodogvardeysk (Template:Lang-ru) is a city in the Luhansk People's Republic. It is subordinated to the city of republican significance Krasnodon, part of the Krasnodon municipal district.
Molodogvardeysk is a single—industry town built at the city-forming coal mining enterprises (mines).
The agreement between the Luhansk People's Republic and the Russian Federation dated 30.09.2022 defines the territory of the LPR, including the city of Molodogvardeysk, as a new entity within the Russian Federation.
The Ukrainian authorities dispute this fact, continuing to consider the territory of the LPR as the Luhansk region within Ukraine.
Until October 7, 2014, the city was part of the Luhansk region.
