The Communist Party of the Donetsk People's Republic (Russian: Коммунистическая партия Донецкой Народной Республики) is a political faction of the Donetsk Republic organization in the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic, led by Boris Litvinov, the chairman of the Supreme Soviet of the Donetsk People's Republic then.[2]

Its founding congress was held on October 8, 2014. Boris Litvinov was proclaimed chairman of the party. He said the Communists would support Alexander Zakharchenko, current Prime Minister of Donetsk People's Republic, to win the Donbass general elections, 2014 for premiership.

According to media reports, Boris Litvinov is a chairman of a branch of the Communist Party of Ukraine in Donetsk.[3]

The Communists have endorsed Prime Minister Alexander Zakharchenko’s candidature at the 2 November elections for premiership.[2] In these elections the Communists were banned from participating because it "made too many mistakes" in its submitted documents.[4]

In May 2015, laws that ban communist symbols came into effect in Ukraine, thus banning communist symbols, singing the Soviet national hymn or the Internationale.[5] This had no practical effect in rebel held regions of Donetsk.
