  Donets Basin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Donets Basin also known as Donbass or Donbas (Russian: Донбасс from Donetskiy bassein) is a historical, economic and cultural region of Ukraine.
That field (basin) was named after the Donets river flowing across the region.
This is explained by the fact that Donets' coal basin geographically extends to that area (also specializing in coal-mining), which sometimes called a "Russian Donbass".

 Seversky Donets - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The river Donets (Донец; alternatively Donetz), flows into the Don River, Russia.
It originates in the central Russian upland, north of Belgorod, flows south-east through Ukraine (traversing the oblasts of Kharkiv, Donetsk and Luhansk) and then into Russia again to join the Don River in the Rostov oblast below Konstantinovsk, about 100 km from the Sea of Azov.
Shipping can navigate the river on its lower reaches; and the waterway serves as a significant transportation artery to service the Donets Basin (Donbas) — an area of coal-mining and heavy industry.

The art of command and administration calls for constant reckoning with this quick susceptibility, inflamniabil ity and general revolutionary irritability of forces a considerable proportion of whose personnel have gone through the four- years’ slaughter and the epoch of revolution and civil conflicts.
Marking time on the extreme right flank of the Donets front is the brigade, or the division, or the army—it is hard to say what it is—of a certain Makhno.
What remain to be attended to are the Donets direction and the Polish-Galician Romanian direction: neither of these, however, is a Ukrainian front but rather a front common to all the Soviet Republics, for Denikin is advancing in the Ukraine and in Great Russia at one and the same time.
