FDC made in the Soviet Union. The text on the envelope reads:”Luhansk”. Luhansk (formerly known as Voroshilovgrad) is a city in eastern Ukraine. The current population is estimated to be 399,559 (2021 est.). On 5 November 1935, the city was renamed Voroshilovgrad in honour of Soviet military commander and politician Kliment Voroshilov. On 5 March 1958, with the call of Khrushchev not to give names of living people to cities, the old name was reinstated. On 5 January 1970, after the death of Voroshilov on 2 December 1969, the name changed again to Voroshilovgrad. Finally, on 4 May 1990, a decree of the Supreme Soviet of the Ukrainian SSR gave the city back its original name.
