The Luhansk People's Republic[a] (LPR) is a separatist state of limited recognition, located in the Donbass region.[1] Despite its suggestive name, it is not a socialist state.
Due to the colour revolution called Euromaidan that led to the rise of fascism in Ukraine, Russian minorities have been persecuted and this has resulted in the separation of Crimea and the founding of two separatist states in Donbass.
In 21 February, 2022, Russia signed a decree recognizing the independence of both Donetsk People's Republic and LPR.[2]
