== History == The city of Krasnohrad was founded as a Bilevska fortress in 1731–1733, as part of the Ukrainian line defence fortifications, which ran from the Dnieper to the Donets. In 1784, the fortress received the name Konstantinograd (Kostiantynohrad) in honour of Grand Duke Konstantin Pavlovich of Russia. In 1797, it received city status. In 1922, Kostyantynohrad was renamed Krasnohrad during a "de-imperialization" drive carried out by the Soviet Union.
