History

On April 6, the day before the People's Republic was declared, pro-Russian protesters stormed and occupied the Donetsk Oblast Administration (RSA) building, the headquarters of the local regional government that had stayed loyal to Kiev. Similar attempts to seize the RSA building have been occurring since pro-Russian protests began in the Eastern and Southern regions of Ukraine in the wake of the 2014 Ukrainian revolution. Pro-Russian protesters previously occupied the Donetsk RSA from March 1 to March 6, before being ousted by the Security Service of Ukraine.
