History
The history of the city starts with the decision to build near a settlement Zuyivka a thermal power plant as part of the Soviet GOELRO plan in 1929. The name for the new settlement around the plant was given after the plant as "ZuHRES", Zuyivka Government Raion Electrical Station. The first power plant was built in 1932 and later there was built another plant in 1980s.
During World War II, the Germans occupied the town and murdered local Jews as well as communists in mass executions in a ravine outside the city.[2]
Since 2014, Zuhres has been administered as a part of the de facto Donetsk People's Republic.
On October 7, 2014, a captured Ukrainian was tied to a pole in the city center, and local separatists abused him for several hours [3]. The victim was a 53-year-old volunteer of the "Donbas" battalion, Ihor Kozhoma, who tried to take his wife out of the occupied territory. One of the first recorded cases of torture of prisoners of war by the Russians. This case was reflected in the film Donbas [4].
