Overview

The Lugansk People's Republic (Russian: Луганская народная республика) was an unrecognized republic, proclaimed on April 28 2014 by pro-Russian protesters.

The republic was, according to its pro-Russian founders, a sovereign country which was supposed to build relations with other countries in line with international law. They planed to confirm sovereignty at an oblast referendum. Long-range aim is the union of the other two people's republics (Donetsk, Kharkov) and the establishment of a sovereign state "Novorossija".

Lugansk Republic had a flag which is similar to flag of Donetsk Republic, but upper stripe is light blue, and the central shield on Russian silver eagle is a yellow shield taken from Lugansk coat of arms depicting two black smokestacks with flames, supported by a black hammer right and left. Inscription is Lugansk Republic on light blue and red stripes.

The Luhansk People's Republic, also known as Lugansk People's Republic (Luganskaya Narodnaya Respublika), is a landlocked proto-state in the Luhansk Oblast in the Donbass region, in eastern Ukraine. Ukraine's legislation describes the area as a 'temporarily occupied territory' and its government as an "occupying administration of the Russian Federation".
