About
Luhansk University is a higher education institution located in the Donbas region of Ukraine. Founded in the Ukrainian SSR in 1921, it is the oldest university in the region. Since the outbreak of the Russo-Ukrainian War in 2014, the institution has de facto operated as two competing entities: The Ukraine-aligned Luhansk Taras Shevchenko National University (Ukrainian: Луганський національний університет імені Тараса Шевченка), which maintains campuses in Poltava, Myrhorod, and Lubny. The Russian Federation-aligned Luhansk State Pedagogical University (Russian: Луганский государственный педагогический университет), which remains based at the original campus in Luhansk.
