History
Spartak was founded in 1922 by immigrants of Yakovlivka, a nearby village.[2]
During World War II, 258 residents fought on the Eastern Front, 48 of whom were killed.[3]
From 1986 until 2003 the village was connected to the city of Avdiivka by a tram line.[4]
The War in Donbas, that started in mid-April 2014, has brought along both civilian and military casualties.[5] Since then, the Spartak has been under the occupation of the Russian Donetsk People's Republic.
