Mariupol (Ukrainian:Маріу́поль, Маріюпіль,Russian:Мариу́поль[mərʲɪˈupəlʲ]; Greek:Μαριούπολη, Marioupoli) is a city of regional significance in southeastern Ukraine, situated on the north coast of the Sea of Azov at the mouth of the Kalmius river. It is the tenth-largest city in Ukraine and the second largest in the Donetsk Oblast. Population: 461,810(2013 est.). The city is largely and traditionally Russophone, while ethnically population is divided between Russians and Ukrainians about 50/50.
Following the capture of Donetsk city by pro-Russian insurgents associated with the Donetsk People's Republic in 2014, Mariupol was made the provisional administrative centre of Donetsk Oblast. The city was retaken on June 13, 2014 by government troops and has been under heavy bombardment and the fighting has intensified as of August 2015.
Mariupol was founded on the site of a former Cossack encampment named Kalmius. It was granted city rights in 1778. Mariupol has been a centre for the grain trade, metallurgy, and heavy engineering. The Ilyich Steel & Iron Works and Azovstal propelled Mariupol onto the European stage in the 20th century as one of the largest and most productive plants. Mariupol played a key role in the industrialization of Ukraine. Due to the Soviet authorities frequently renaming cities after Communist leaders, the city was known as Zhdanov, after the Soviet functionary Andrei Zhdanov, between 1948 and 1989. Today, Mariupol remains a centre for industry, as well as higher education and business, a legal centre, and the economic engine of Pryazovia.
Chinese opera singer sparks Ukrainian fury by performing in Mariupol theatre
A Chinese opera singer has provoked fury in Ukraine after singing a Soviet song in the ruins of a bombed-out theatre where hundreds of people were killed in occupied Mariupol.
Wang Fang was filmed singing Katyusha, a Second World War-era song, on a balcony in the venue, which has become a symbol of Moscow’s destruction in Ukraine.
The opera singer, whose husband is a celebrated Chinese Communist Party propagandist, was purportedly part of a visiting delegation of Chinese bloggers organised by the so-called Donetsk People’s Republic.
On Friday, Ukraine’s foreign ministry announced it would ban Chinese “tourists” from the country in response to what it described as an illegal visit that violated the country’s border rules.
Oleh Nikolenko, spokesman for the ministry, said the singer’s ...

Rebuilding Mariupol: Russia's plans for city meet scepticism
A year after taking control of the Ukrainian city of Mariupol, Russia wants to change the face of the city.
The Russian government estimates that rebuilding will cost in excess of $2bn across three years. With the degree of destruction and slow pace of reconstruction, it might be even longer.
Authorities say that more than 1,600 flats have been issued to people with destroyed residences and expect roughly the same number to be issued next year. Locals complained of delays and claimed bribes were necessary to get some paperwork processed.

Vladimir Putin pays visit to occupied Mariupol in Ukraine – BBC News
President Vladimir Putin has paid a surprise visit to Mariupol, a Ukrainian city captured by Russian forces after months of conflict.
Russian state media broadcast footage showing Mr Putin driving a car through the streets at night, and speaking to people.
Mariupol has been under Russian occupation for more than 10 months after being devastated in one of the longest and bloodiest battles of the conflict. Ukraine says more than 20,000 people were killed there.
The visit is believed to be the Russian president’s first to a newly-occupied Ukrainian territory, and comes just days after the International Criminal Court issued a warrant for his arrest, over the illegal deportation of Ukrainian children to Russia.

Ukraine War: How Russia rebuilt and remodelled Mariupol in its own image
From the start of the war in Ukraine, the seaside city of Mariupol was a key target for Russia.
The bombing of its maternity hospital, its theatre giving shelter to hundreds of families, and the siege of its steelworks at Azovstal became defining moments in the battle for south and the east of the country.
But after 83 days, Mariupol fell and since then Russia has been both demolishing and rebuilding to create a new city – a model Russian city with little trace of its Ukrainian past.
Sky’s Data & Forensics team has measured and mapped this destruction and has been monitoring its rebirth, which many former residents believe has a more sinister motive.

A Chinese opera singer has provoked fury in Ukraine after singing a Soviet song in the ruins of a bombed-out theatre where hundreds of people were killed in occupied Mariupol.
Wang Fang was filmed singing Katyusha, a Second World War-era song, on a balcony in the venue, which has become a symbol of Moscow’s destruction in Ukraine.
The opera singer, whose husband is a celebrated Chinese Communist Party propagandist, was purportedly part of a visiting delegation of Chinese bloggers organised by the so-called Donetsk People’s Republic.
On Friday, Ukraine’s foreign ministry announced it would ban Chinese “tourists” from the country in response to what it described as an illegal visit that violated the country’s border rules.
Oleh Nikolenko, spokesman for the ministry, said the singer’s performance of the Russian war song was a “complete moral degradation” in a post on Facebook.

A year after taking control of the Ukrainian city of Mariupol, Russia wants to change the face of the city.
The Russian government estimates that rebuilding will cost in excess of $2bn across three years. With the degree of destruction and slow pace of reconstruction, it might be even longer.
Authorities say that more than 1,600 flats have been issued to people with destroyed residences and expect roughly the same number to be issued next year. Locals complained of delays and claimed bribes were necessary to get some paperwork processed.

It’s been a year since the fall of Mariupol.
After months of fighting - and the steelworks' siege - the last remaining Ukrainians surrendered to Russian forces.
Life in the city is gradually returning, but the trauma of what happened continues to overshadow everyone’s lives.

President Vladimir Putin has paid a surprise visit to Mariupol, a Ukrainian city captured by Russian forces after months of conflict.
Russian state media broadcast footage showing Mr Putin driving a car through the streets at night, and speaking to people.
Mariupol has been under Russian occupation for more than 10 months after being devastated in one of the longest and bloodiest battles of the conflict. Ukraine says more than 20,000 people were killed there.
The visit is believed to be the Russian president’s first to a newly-occupied Ukrainian territory, and comes just days after the International Criminal Court issued a warrant for his arrest, over the illegal deportation of Ukrainian children to Russia.

From the start of the war in Ukraine, the seaside city of Mariupol was a key target for Russia.
The bombing of its maternity hospital, its theatre giving shelter to hundreds of families, and the siege of its steelworks at Azovstal became defining moments in the battle for south and the east of the country.
But after 83 days, Mariupol fell and since then Russia has been both demolishing and rebuilding to create a new city – a model Russian city with little trace of its Ukrainian past.
Sky’s Data & Forensics team has measured and mapped this destruction and has been monitoring its rebirth, which many former residents believe has a more sinister motive.

Mariupol (Ukrainian:Маріу́поль, Маріюпіль,Russian:Мариу́поль[mərʲɪˈupəlʲ]; Greek:Μαριούπολη, Marioupoli) is a city of regional significance in southeastern Ukraine, situated on the north coast of the Sea of Azov at the mouth of the Kalmius river. It is the tenth-largest city in Ukraine and the second largest in the Donetsk Oblast. Population: 461,810(2013 est.). The city is largely and traditionally Russophone, while ethnically population is divided between Russians and Ukrainians about 50/50.
Following the capture of Donetsk city by pro-Russian insurgents associated with the Donetsk People's Republic in 2014, Mariupol was made the provisional administrative centre of Donetsk Oblast. The city was retaken on June 13, 2014 by government troops and has been under heavy bombardment and the fighting has intensified as of August 2015.
Mariupol was founded on the site of a former Cossack encampment named Kalmius. It was granted city rights in 1778. Mariupol has been a centre for the grain trade, metallurgy, and heavy engineering. The Ilyich Steel & Iron Works and Azovstal propelled Mariupol onto the European stage in the 20th century as one of the largest and most productive plants. Mariupol played a key role in the industrialization of Ukraine. Due to the Soviet authorities frequently renaming cities after Communist leaders, the city was known as Zhdanov, after the Soviet functionary Andrei Zhdanov, between 1948 and 1989. Today, Mariupol remains a centre for industry, as well as higher education and business, a legal centre, and the economic engine of Pryazovia.
A proof of failure is right in front of me, somebody else's happiness to make my knees weak Acting like nothing ever happened I guess nothing ever did I could calm this storm, but I'm gonna turn my head instead I was out Then I was up And now I tripped and I'm falling again I was gone Then I was there And now I tripped and I'm falling again Down and out Even as a loser it's too difficult to move on This hope for something right is broken but not gone Maybe if I would've ignored you and not bothered digging the hole
