Usage notes

Артёмовск (Artjómovsk), or, in Ukrainian, Арте́мівськ (Artémivsʹk) was the official name of the city in Ukraine until 2016, when it was changed back to historical Бахму́т (Baxmút) as part of decommunization in Ukraine. The Russian government, as well as Russian state media, continue to refer to the town as Артёмовск (Artjómovsk), especially in military contexts.[1][2]
